Early today, it seems as though a ton of information was potentially leaked for Battlefield: Hardline. You may otherwise know it as Battlefield: S.W.A.T. or even the "Battlefield game being developed by Visceral Games." Hell, you may even know it now from its code-name of Omaha or Havana for all I know.
The simple fact remains that there has apparently been a huge leak of information on the next Battlefield title. According to information gathered at NeoGAF, Better Bat... -

High-Performance Servers Rolled out to Combat Rubber Banding Issues in Battlefield 4
In an effort to combat the rubber banding issue in Battlefield 4, DICE set out to look for what they believe to be the root cause of the issue. They found that it's apparently from a "configuration of certain hardware types dedicated to 64-player matches." Here is what Karl Magnus Troedsson said to fans earlier today on the Battlefield blog.

Battlefield 1942 is Free on Origin... Again
Once again, EA is just giving away Battlefield 1942 through Origin. Last month EA gave out Dead Space as part of their new On the House program. This month it's Battlefield 1942 that's free, though their On the House page still lists Dead Space. So either this is a non-On the House free game and a limited time offer, or it's going to be an On the House deal, or it's a new permanent price reduction, or I have no idea what I'm talking about. No matter what, just go get the game since ... -

The 'Death Shield' Hitbox Bug in Battlefield 4
Normally, we aren't too keen on posting exploit or unpatched bug videos but this is one of those cases where this seems to be a rather high priority issue that needs to be fixed ASAP. So, the more people that are aware of this, the better the chances are that this issue gets resolved for Battlefield 4, right? The short of this bug is that a hitbox on a body that can be revived remains where it shouldn't be. This prevents most projectiles from passing through to anything behind it, ... -

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?
