This is Diablo 4 at its best. I mean it this time. For real.

    So, you've played hours of the Final Stand DLC for Battlefield 4 and you picked up the Phantom Bow already. What's left? Well, it could very well be that there is more DLC coming for the game.

  • Here is How to Unlock the Phantom Bow and Solve Phantom Program 4 in Battlefield 4

    The Internet has been hard at work trying to solve the mystery of the Phantom Operative assignment for Battlefield 4. The fourth part of the Phantom Program was unlike any other previous step as each of those simply required you to enter in a password on a hidden terminal within Battlelog. This one requires you to find four hidden dogtags in each of the four new maps from the Final Stand DLC. From there, it was simply a matter of cracking the code to gain access to the sealed off room that t...

    See Battlefield 4 Running on iOS

    A pet project of the Frostbite team has resulted in Battlefield 4 running on iOS.

    It has been quite a challenge. To handle dynamic features such as destruction or moving light sources, most things in the Frostbite engine happen in realtime. This puts extra demand on performance to be able to deliver large, highly detailed worlds with superb visual quality. We were making great progress feature-wise, but hardware and software limitations forced us to either scale down the number

    A class action lawsuit brought against EA over "false and misleading statements" concerning the marketing for Battlefield 4 has run into a wall today. The judge in the case, Judge Susan Illston, ruled that many of the statements made were not actually fraudulent but were rather just "puffery" and vague.

    "I can absolutely say that we lost [player] trust in the game's launch and the early parts of the year," Sirland said. "We still probably have a lot of players who won't trust us to deliver a stable launch or a stable game. I don't want to say anything because I want to do.

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make 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 2025
    33.33%
    2
    I completed up to 10 games
    50.00%
