As sprawling as the skirmishes in Battlefield 4 can get, I found myself most fascinated with a helicopter that was able to murder me many times during my E3 multiplayer session. In the Siege of Shanghai map, a massive downtown location of skycrapers and bridges forming ample choke points across a bay that cuts the city in half, players can bring down a massive building by destroying pillars at its base. While destroying the environment is central to the Battlefield experience, destroying this building will cover the entire map in a thick coating of dust, hampering visibility.
This is where the helicopter became the bane of my existence.
"We have this concept we call 'levelution,'" DICE producer Aleksander Grondal told Joystiq. "We want you to feel that the environment is changing and you have to adapt to the changes. It's kind of like a give-and-take situation for both teams." Grondal added that smaller instances of this idea, like players triggering store alarms when walking through doorways that may notify other players in the vicinity, can be seen throughout Battlefield 4.
