New Battlefield 4 Multiplayer Modes Revealed by DICE

Developer DICE has laid bare the seven multiplayer game modes Battlefield 4 will ship with later this year. The details were published on the Battlefield Official Blog.

The seven difference game modes will be playable across 10 maps, with all modes supported on all maps.

Conquest Mode, described as “the quintessential Battlefield mode”, will be playable in the Battlefield 4 beta and is designed for 24 players on Xbox 360 and PS3 and 64 players on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Domination, also playable in the Battlefield 4 beta, is a fast-paced infantry-only variant of Conquest that made its debut in Battlefield 3: Close Quarters. It’s designed for 20 players across all platforms.

In Obliteration, one of two new game modes in Battlefield 4, both teams must fight to pick up the bomb, drop it off at one of their opponent’s three objectives, arm it, and destroy the objective. According to EA, “since there’s only one bomb at a time, you will often find yourself going from attacker to defender in the blink of an eye.” It’s designed for 24 players on PS3 and Xbox 360 and 32 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The other new game mode for Battlefield 4 is Defuse. Each player is given a single life per round, and teams can win by eliminating the enemy squad, or arming and detonating a military objective that they own. It’s a five versus five mode across all platforms.

The three remaining modes are Team Deathmatch (designed for 20 players across all platforms), Rush (designed for 24 players on PS3 and Xbox 360 and 32 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC), and Squad Deathmatch (designed for 16 players across all platforms).

The Battlefield 4 Open Beta will launch on October 1.
