'Battlefield 4' vs 'Call of Duty Ghosts': 'Battlefield' Customisable Controls, 'Call of Duty: Ghosts’' Extinction Mode Teased
It may not come out at launch, but "Battlefield 4" controls may still be customisable for console users, at least this is what DICE aims as progress for the game.
"When we looked at controls in Battlefield 4 we placed the team play aspect of our controls as the highest priority. We wanted players to be familiar with using spotting and the communication rose in multiplayer as well as the engage and tactical visor in single player," said Patrick Bach, "Battlefield 4" executive producer, in an interview quoted by GameSpot.
This means that developer DIC is looking for a way for gamers to customise the control scheme in "Battlefield 4." So far, only PC players are capable of customisation options, but with the release of the game in both the current-gen and next-gen consoles, the developers aim to make the experience easier and more organic to gamers.
If you are still stuck on the "Battlefield 3" controls, DICE is also offering the Veteran option, which lifts the "Battlefield 3" controls with only the Communications options as a main difference from the previous installment.
