The multiplayer beta for one of the most anticipated shooters of the year, Battlefield 4, has added a fresh mode for all participants to enjoy. Along with the current suite of options, which includes the Siege of Shanghai map in Conquest and Domination modes, DICE is now pushing the explosive Obliteration feature.
This update is rolling out across all three platforms today, as well as a gradual increase in server availability. The full description for the new mode can be seen below.
In Obliteration, a bomb spawns at a random location on the map. Both teams must fight to pick up the bomb, drop it off at one of their opponent's three objectives, arm it, and destroy the objective. Once a bomb has detonated, the next one randomly spawns in a new location and the chaos starts all over.
The game lasts until one team has detonated the other team's three objectives. Obliteration can be devastatingly quick or a harrowing tug of war depending on how good your team is at staying together and delivering the bomb. Like most other game modes, there is usually also a time limit in place to make sure the match does not go on for too long.
The beta hasn’t been without its fair share of bugs, but DICE has been working hard to patch and improve the overall experience for the many testers fighting the good fight. Look for Battlefield 4 to launch on current and next-generation platforms later this year.
