DICE opens up about Battlefield 4's 'Carrier Assault' mode

4.6
If you aren't familiar with Battlefield 2142 then the upcoming Carrier Assault mode in BF4's Naval Strike DLC will be a brand new concept for you. It draws inspiration from 2142's Titan mode and consists of each team attempting to sink the opposing sides aircraft carrier.

A brief explanation from a recent official BF4 blog posting by lead gameplay designer Gustav Halling explains how the mode operates. The full blog can be found here.


Carrier Assault is an homage to the Titan game mode of Battlefield 2142, but this time the all-out war rages in the South Chinese Sea, and your objective is to destroy the enemy team’s carrier before they infiltrate and destroy yours. Our goal has been to make Carrier Assault a really engaging game mode, and we truly believe the amount of variety present each round will assure this. You start out fighting a big-scale war with sea, land, and air vehicles controlling the map, and then everything evolves into an infantry-focused, close quarter fight inside both carriers at the same time!lead gameplay designer Gustav Halling


Battlefield 4's 'Naval Strike' expansion is queued for release later this month, first for Premium members and a few weeks later for the public.

Best part is the commander can actually come the Carrier(that is if they do the same thing as Titan Mode from 2142) but this may be hard because titans flew and carriers could hit land. But its more than Bomb the base, you capture points on the field. The points are missile silos that periodically shoot at the enemy titan. You can also break down the enemies defense and board the titan. Which is harder than it may seem because there were several defense guns that could be manned to prevent boarding. Once inside you could go deeper into the titan where the engine area was and other things. Attempting to destroy them. Battles inside the titan were VERY VERY intense. Its like 64 player operation locker, when you have a standstill in the middle of the map. This was 2142, I don't know how much of this they will put into BF4 or if they will put more.

If you never played Titan mode on 2142 you missed out. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS IMPLEMENTED. Greatest Battlefield Idea ever. You will ALL love it. It's just so great.

I hope this makes the game more fun, I haven't played it that much. Just because of this, I might try playing it later.

-Mark The Carrier Assault game mode sounds really fun and it will be the first thing I try out when I download the DLC. Hopefully the maps are good!


It does sound cool, I think it would be a great additive to this game. I like any game mode that you have to attack an objective and destroy it.
