Battlefield 4 DLC Update: Naval Strike Expansion Pack Delayed 'Indefinitely' for PC Users
Battlefield 4's Naval Strike expansion has been delayed for the PC indefinitely announced EA/DICE on Battlelog.
According to Polygon, the DLC was scheduled for March 25 launch for Premium members, and April 8 for non-premium members. So far there has not been a rescheduled release date.
"We've detected an issue and it needs to be solved. Quality is our number one priority and we will not release Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC until we feel it meets the highest quality level possible," the post on BattleLog read. "We are also working on a larger update to release alongside Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC that will address the issue of Tablet Commander not working correctly."
Naval Strike DLC will contain unique features, including changing weather patterns, dusk to dawn fights, and of course, a hovercraft.
"There'll be calm seas, stormy weather and many other weather effects," a post on the Battlefield Blog said. "For instance, on the Mortar Strike map, you'll start fighting at dawn and the map will be lit up by the resort lights. As the fight rages on, the sunrise will drench the tropical island in beautiful sunlight."
On the blog, the Battlefield 4 creators discuss some of the functions of the new DLC, including the hovercraft.
"The new hovercraft, or ACV, is a very fast transport vehicle with a driver and a passenger position that travels seamless between water and land. This unique ability has many advantages; you can for instance maneuver away from boats by short cutting through an island instead of going around it. These new abilities are exciting for us to bring to our players and I can't wait to see what crazy stuff we will see from this vehicle in the game!" they wrote.
Naval Strike's Carrier Assault Mode will be a throwback to Titan Mode in Battlefield 2142.
The DLC will take place in the South China Sea, and involve two teams attacking each others aircraft carriers, reported Polygon. The battle takes place on three fronts.
