Battlefield 4 Legacy Operations DLC Features "Reimagined" Dragon Valley

A new sneak peek at the upcoming Legacy Operations DLC for DICE's Battlefield 4 includes some gameplay testing on the new "reimagined" Dragon Valley 2015 map. The classic Battlefield 2 map was voted for by the community.

"...it was huge, with a massive number of flags, and destructible and repairable bridges. Our goal for this map is to make a great, large vehicle map for Battlefield 4 but at the same time modernize the original where appropriate." One thing that defined the original map was the limited draw distance in Battlefield 2, which no longer shackles the dev team.

"We tackled this in several ways: first we increased the terrain verticality to closer mimic a real life Chinese river valley – and to give us more terrain occlusion for long distances, especially on the central island. We also added a dynamic cloud layer, which not only adds a welcomed air-to-ground separation in terms of gameplay, but also helps shroud far distances at ground level. This has the added bonus effect of allowing you to have intense aerial firefights above the cloud level, which looks really, really cool in Battlefield 4."

They'll be keeping the destructible and repairable bridges: "They were something we felt had to be part of the map – this tactical element is a big part of what made the original fun – especially in the land armor department. We are happy to say that we will be bringing these bridges back – and they are a ton of fun to use!"

Dragon Valley 2015 will be part of the free Battlefield 4 - Legacy Operations DLC set for this Holiday.
