More news from the company that brings you launch day
failures like no other.
Today, Battlefield 4's latest DLC pack, Naval Strike launched for its Battlefield 4 Premium members...well,
kinda.
Game Developer Dice posted the following to the official
Battlefield 4 blog...
UPDATE: We wanted
to provide more detail about the delay of Battlefield 4 Naval Strike. We have
delayed the PC version of Naval Strike because we are concerned that the
combination of the pack and planned PC updates would increase performance
issues on mid-range to high-end PCs. We are working hard to resolve that issue
now. Additionally, we have decided to delay the Xbox One version of Naval
Strike because we want to address issues in the animation system that hinder
players from engaging targets in set circumstances using popular weapon
configurations.
So while Playstation and Xbox 360 owners are gleefully
spreading carnage on the waves it seems those with PC's and Xbox 1's aren't so blessed. Dice assures Premium members that they will
still enjoy 2 weeks early access when the game finally gets a launch date. In other words, everybody is going to have to
wait. No release date has been set as of
this writing although Dice indicated that they are "trying to release the update in early April for Xbox One and PC."
Which ultimately leaves affected Battlefield players either suffering delayed
gratification or relief that they might have just dodged another bullet (pun
intended).
At least you'll have something to look forward to. Details about 4 new maps
were released last week including:
Lost Islands -
Players battle for control of a crashed airliner a midst a small group of
islands
Nansha Strike
- Meant for boats and infantry players
alike with ample opportunities for each.
Wave Breaker -
Featuring a submarine base perfect for Deathmatch play
Operation Mortar -
It's got an old fort in the middle offering views of the whole map. Perfect for well, mortars.
Hang in there soldiers!
