Maps! Modes! Levolution! Premium! More ridiculous remixes of the Battlefield theme! It was an info barrage as DICE shot visual bullets into the face of Gamescom attendees, finishing off the EA conference more revelations about their FPS sequel. In fairness, many of those announcements could have been predicted by those well versed in recent history.

DICE also announced the game’s beta, which will launch in early October, just a few weeks before the game’s full release.

Battlefield 4 is released in October 29th in North America, and October 31st in Europe.
Scientist, Soldier, Engineer and All-Star are PopCap’s take on the popular shooter classes in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, coming next year to PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360. The Zombies’ Engineer looks like a guy you don’t want to get behind, either.
The game will feature online matches of up to 24 players, plus a four-player online cooperative mode. Xbox One, the first console to get the game, also will have a two-player split screen co-op mode exclusive to it, and something called “Boss” mode, a tactical view using Kinect and SmartGlass. You can see the video of that below.
Need for Speed: Rivals was discussed during EA’s press conference with its new AllDrive mode and more.
According to the presenter, Alldrive “destroys the line between single-player and multiplayer,” granting points using a new system which will build up until you are busted by the cops. Speedlists, a new set of objectives you will need to complete in exchange for various unlocks, will also be included.
Check out the new video below.
