14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at DICE is delivering a new update for the Battlelog service associated with Battlefield 4, which is mainly designed to introduce the new Loadout Presets element to the game, while also delivering some fixes and other improvements.
The team explains in the official announcement on the forums that, “A silent update for the Battlelog mobile app will follow later today or tomorrow, bringing support for e.g. Loadout Presets in the mobile app. Stay tuned for the mobile changelog.”
The Loadout Presets mechanics will allow gamers to create their own custom combinations for all kits and vehicles in the game in order to quickly switch between them before they join a match and make sure that they are ready for all the challenges that come their way.
All those who are normal Battlefield 4 players can save 2 presets for a vehicle or kit and those who have a subscription to Premium can go up to four.
The 1.1 version of the Platoons feature is also being added to the Battlelog, with a number of significant improvements.
The team gives some more details about the update:
- Be able to see where your Platoon members are playing in the new servers tab - You can now increase the member cap to 150 by reaching rank 5 and 200 by reaching rank 10 - Automatically subscribe to all Platoon wall posts and comments, so you won't miss a thing - Once rented servers become available, Platoon leaders can choose to promote their servers for their Platoon - More information is now shown for each Platoon member on the Members page
There are also changes linked to the leaderboards, the Carrier Assault mode, the privacy settings and the way time is indicated inside the program.
A full list of all the modifications made to Battlelog are offered in the announcement, which is required to be read by all hardcore Battlefield 4 fans.
DICE will continue to deliver updates to the core game experience and the associated services in order to make sure that those who are heavily involved with the game will stick with it in the long term.
At the moment, two more downloadable content packs are in development for Battlefield 4, set to be launched in May and later in the summer, and the studio of the company in Los Angeles has said that it will introduce new maps and possibly another game mode.
