Battlefield 4: Chinese vehicles, shoot-while-swimming confirmed

4.5
Battlefield 4 developer DICE has answered some burning questions regarding Battlefield 4's vehicles and marine combat.

The studio has confirmed that the game will feature a whole new selection of Chinese vehicles thanks to the addition of that faction.

It revealed one new vehicle - the Chinese Z-10W Attack Heli - in a new screenshot pictured above. Some of the other Chinese vehicles in the game include:

Type 99 MBT
ZFB-05 Armored Car
Z-9 Haitun Transport Heli
DV15 Interceptor Attack Boat
The studio also discussed one of the game's biggest new gameplay mechanics - naval combat.

"Amphibious Assault will play a big role in Battlefield 4 as we've added attack boats like the RCB-90 (U.S.) and jet-skis. Controlling the sea in addition to the land and air will play a crucial role in victory," it explained.

DICE confirmed that, for the first time in the BF series, infantry will be able to use one-handed weapons and gadgets while swimming - useful in the case of a pre-explosion bail-out.

The PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 Battlefield 4 release date is set for October 29 in the US and November 1 in the UK . Next-gen versions will be out "this holiday" alongside the new consoles.

DLT I can't wait for BF4. Looks and sounds like its going to be such a great game.


It should be a great game because it seems like they're adding things which were missing from the predecessor, like more destruction, shooting while swimming etc... unlike CoD and other games where it's just new, pointless features added each game, plus the games last a while, I still play BF3.


You. You are the epitome of why I don't like Battlefield, I love the game itself, but the people that play it are so single minded and annoying.

Funny how the original comment had nothing to do with CoD, and then you add on your thoughts like he was talking about CoD the whole time. I honestly cannot deal with new Battlefield players on the internet. Your all so **** annoying! I guarantee that you never played any Battlefield until BF3 and now you claim BF is the best series ever. ffs stfu.

You do realize every CoD fanboy is gonna say,"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA BE LIKE, IT'S THE BEST GAME!" Meanwhile, they never add any new features, and when they do it's stupid pointless shit, such as the dog. And I wasn't too happy with the destruction with BF3 but it was still a fun game.

I hope we have more type of water vehicles like small ships with big guns...

-Wub I hope you can have more than just one helicopter for each team :/


There are different helicopters already. In BF3 the US has 3 types of helicopters and the Russians also have 3 types. (Transport, Attack, and Scout)
