STORY

6

China is in turmoil. There are riots in the streets of Shanghai. People are enraged because of the assassination of Jin Jié. He was on deck for the presidency — a progressive man of the people who pushed the government for transparency, fairness, and freedom of speech. Admiral Chang, who controls the lion's share of the Chinese forces, is accusing the United States of the killing.

To balance the scales, the USS Valkyrie is positioned in the waters outside of Shanghai, and Tombstone – the most reliable squad of Marines on board the Valkyrie — is sent inland on a very delicate mission to extract VIPs out of the burning city.

The Visor also highlights important elements in the environment, like Weapon Crates or explosive oil barrels.

ENGAGE COMMAND

Order your squad to focus their fire on a group of enemies. Use this to take down enemies, or distract them for an opportunity to flank or retreat.

STEALTH GAMEPLAY

The Detection Indicator shows how close an enemy is to spotting you. The brighter the Detection Indicator, the closer the enemy is to discovering where you are. Stay out of sight, stay low, and move slowly to avoid detection.

CONNECTING TO A SERVER

You can connect to Multiplayer via QUICK MATCH where you are randomly matched with other players, via the SERVER BROWSER for more control over your preferences, or by connecting through a Friend via the XMB™ menu.

There are three different server types for Battlefield 4:

• Official - Official servers have strict default settings that are tailored for new players. E.g. an official server that hosts the Defuse game mode must have the max-player-limit set to 10 players. Ranked - Ranked servers can use settings that are slightly different than default servers. E.g. a ranked server that hosts the Defuse game mode can have the max-player-limit set to 6 players.
• Unranked - Unranked servers use settings that are considered to drastically change how the game is played. Therefore no soldier progression is awarded on unranked servers. E.g. an unranked server that hosts the Defuse game mode can have the max-player-limit set to 16 players.

SQUAD

14

Whenever you connect to a Multiplayer session you are automatically placed in a squad. You can also manually join a squad or create a new squad. A squad can at most consist of five players. The members of a squad can deploy on each other, so-called squad-deploy.

PRIVATE SQUAD

A squad can be made private if you lock it. Only friends of the members of a private squad can join it.

SQUAD LEADER

All squads have a Squad Leader. The Squad Leader is identified by a star next to the player name. The Squad Leader is the only one who can give orders to the squad. The Squad Leader is also the only one who can request orders or a variety of assets from the Commander.

FIELD UPGRADES

15

There is a squad version of most scoring events. The squad version gives you a higher score than the regular version, e.g. you are rewarded 10 points for healing an ally, but you are rewarded 15 points for healing a squad mate.

Squad scoring events help you unlock so called Field Upgrades for your soldier. You can select your Field Upgrade in the kit customization screen. Each Field Upgrade contains a series of four different benefits which are unlocked in sequence as your squad performs squad scoring events. Whenever all your squad members are dead at the same time you lose progress towards the next Field Unlock benefit, so stay down when you are the last man standing to let your squad deploy on you.

COMMOROSE

16

CommoRose consists of a set of pre-chosen messages with which you can communicate with your allies. CommoRose messages are uttered by your soldier, and some, e.g. requests, are also displayed on the mini-map as icons.

The CommoRose messages are different depending on if you are in a squad, without a squad, or is a Squad Leader. E.g. a player without a squad cannot request orders, a player in a squad can request orders from the Squad Leader, and a Squad Leader can request orders from the Commander.

Defend the armed target from being disarmed until it detonates and destroys the target. Stop the same from being done to your target. If the enemy arms your target, disarm it! A target is disarmed by standing next to it while you hold the interact button. Note that the bomb carrier, if on foot, is slowed down by the weight of the bomb.

You can deploy either at your forward base or at your headquarters, which contains medium and heavy vehicles.

Note that the bomb will kill anyone close to it when it explodes.

RUSH

Goal – As attacker you should destroy the Mobile Communication Boxes (M-COMs) before your team runs out of tickets or time. As defender you should defend the M-COMs and cause the attacking team to lose all their tickets.

Kill the enemy until they are out of tickets.

Defenders have an unlimited amount of tickets while attackers have a limited amount. The Rush layout consists of multiple M-COM sectors and each sector has a set of two M-COMs. Whenever a set is destroyed the defender's base and combat area is moved back, the attacker's combat area and base is moved forward, and the attacker's tickets are reset to the original amount. An exploding M-COM will not cause harm to those standing near it.

BECOMING COMMANDER

You need to be a certain rank or higher to play as Commander. As Commander you fill a strategic role on the battlefield by giving orders to your soldiers and providing them with equipment and information. Commander mode is available for the Conquest, Obliteration, and Rush game modes. The mode is always available on social servers. Ranked and unranked servers can disable Commander mode.

You can join a server as Commander via the SERVER BROWSER screen, or apply to become Commander in-game by selecting "OPTIONS > TEAM SETUP > TAKE COMMAND". Commander is decided on a first come first serve basis. However, if you connect to the server as Commander you will have a small window of opportunity where you can apply before those applying in-game.

THE COMMANDER'S ROLE

As Commander you interact with your own soldiers and the enemy soldiers, as well as the enemy Commander. You give your soldiers orders on what to attack or defend. You deploy assets that provide your soldiers with equipment and information. You kill enemy soldiers, destroy their Commander's assets and hide information.

The Game Mode widget provides you with information about the status of the round. If you select the Live Camera the widget will show you a view of an area. Selecting a Squad Leader will give you a first-person view. Selecting an objective shows you a top-down view of the objective and surrounding area, while the cruise missile will show you a view from its nose camera onboard.

If a mutiny is taking place, the Commander will be kicked out within a short amount of time unless the majority of Squad Leaders toggles the rating back to "Approve". A mutiny cannot be started against a player who recently became Commander.

SQUAD ASSET BAR

When your squads work together they are awarded squad scores. All your Commander scores contribute to your Squad Asset Bar, with which you can award your squads with assets. When a squad asset is deployed, the Squad Asset Bar is drained. The amount drained depends on the value of the deployed asset.

SQUAD ORDERS

As Commander, if you select a Squad Leader, his squad mates will appear in green. Selecting a Squad Leader also displays any orders given to the squad as a green line. If you give the Squad Leader an order it is displayed as a dotted line, and if the order is accepted it turns into a full line. An accepted Commander order replaces any prior Squad Leader order.

ASSETS

Most assets have in common that they need to have a cool-down before they can be used again, i.e. they have a short delay before they are deployed. When assets are deployed tactically and used by the team, they increase the Commander's score.

The Asset Overview displays all assets that are available in a mission, and distinguishes between those you currently have access to and those you can gain access to. It also displays the amount of time left until you can deploy an asset.
