Battlefield 4 is "Free" on Origin Until August 14
Battlefield 4 is the latest game to receive the Origin Game Time treatment! For those of you who forgot from last time, Game Time is a way of giving a player time limited access to a game where the clock starts when you first start playing, provided you begin playing prior to August 14 at 10AM (PT). The amount of time for Battlefield 4? 168 hours of game time, or one full week. Or to put that another way, that's about half of my total play time in Battlefield 4, a game I've had si... -

How to: New Battlefield 4 Glitch Lets You Combine Two Classes
A new glitch was discovered for Battlefield 4 in the past day or two. This glitch allows players to combine two different classes together into one. That means, theoretically, you can combine an Engineer with a Support class so that you can have infinite rockets that you resupply yourself.
In case you didn't pick up on how to do it from the video, here's how to do it in text form:- Pick a class

Many speculate that the delay is being made in order to fill the gaping void left from the delay of Battlefield Hardline to 2015. Hopefully that isn't the real reason for the delay but so far no actual reason has... -

This feedback also spurred us to start thinking about other possibilities and ways we could push Hardline innovation further and make the game even better. The more we thought about these ideas, the more we knew we had to get them into the game you will all be playing. However, there was only one problem.... -

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?
