Happy 10th Anniversary Battlefield 2!
Battlefield 2, the game that not only played an important role in the lives of many of us but also was highly responsible for the soul and essence of the multiplayer shooters that we get today. It was undoubtedly an example of a game that we unfortunately don't get nowadays, a game full of innovation, of new ideas and concepts and with no fear to execute them. It was also thanks to this success that the Battlefield series managed to grow exponentially to what it is today. For the time it ach... -

A Look at the Audio Obstruction System in Battlefield 4 CTE
New to the Battlefield 4 CTE is the audio obstruction system. This new system slightly tunes how you hear audio in Battlefield 4 depending on whether or not there is an obstruction or object between you and the origin of the sound. Youtube user David Sirland put together a handy video that shows off this new system at work. In the video, white signals indicate that there is no obstruction between you and the sound origin. Red indicators signify that the sound is obstructed and modifies th... -

This is How Megalodon was Discovered in Battlefield 4
Allow Jackfrags to take you on a journey that I'm still trying to wrap my mind around here. This is how the Megalodon easter egg was found in Battlefield 4. Specifically, this is how the Megalodon was discovered in the CTE for Battlefield 4. That's right, something that people thought was in the game since near its launch was actually only added in a recent CTE patch. Oh well, it's still pretty cool.

Battlefield Hardline Writer Had to Remove Dialogue to Dehumanize the Bad Guys
In speaking with Polygon, a Battlefield Hardline writer, Rob Auten, mentioned how they actually had to remove lines of dialogue from the game in order for the "bad guys (to feel) like bad guys."
Writer Rob Auten told me that one of the difficulties he had with this game was creating thugs who were engaging enough to seem realistic, but not so engaging that the player might feel guilty about shooting them. "I wrote one about this guy getting back together with his ex-girlfriend," Auten expla... -

by Shawn ZipayMake up your own definition of "complete."
Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...I did not complete any game in 202533.33%2I completed up to 10 games50.00%3I completed more than 10 games16.67%1-
