Just because DICE is, reportedly, working on Battlefield 5 <\/em><\/a>doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ve given up on Battlefield 4<\/em> \u2013 the recent, ginormous patch<\/a> that overhauled most of the game\u2019s vehicles is proof of that.<\/p>\n

While this holiday update, entitled \u2018Legacy Operations\u2019, isn\u2019t quite as large, it\u2019s still well worth checking out.<\/p>\n

\"Battlefield<\/a>

DICE have done a superb job recreating Dragon Valley.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the patch notes<\/a> for the holiday update, DICE has overhauled Dragon Valley<\/a>, as seen in Battlefield 2<\/em>, as well as one of the most popular death match maps for Battlefield 3<\/em>, Noshahr Canals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The thing is, because the harbour portion of Noshahr Canals makes for a fantastic death match locale while it\u2019s actually fairly imbalanced as a conquest map, DICE has integrated the harbour portion of Noshahr Canals into Dragon Valley \u2013 that\u2019s right, you\u2019re getting two maps in one.<\/p>\n

\"Battlefield<\/a>

What this effectively means is Noshahr Canals without that terribly imbalanced and poorly placed US C-RAM<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like we said in our report on the vehicle overhaul update, we\u2019re fans of Battlefield\u2019s <\/em>vehicles and the dynamics they offer, and having a map focused around vehicle play has us excited to see how it plays out.<\/p>\n

The addition of Noshahr Canals, however, provides an area that encourages solid infantry play, as does a number of areas DICE have tweaked for specifically that.<\/p>\n

For a complete overview of Noshahr Canals and Dragon Valley, we suggest you check out the patch notes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth reading to see how your favourite weapon or vehicle has been tweaked because the update makes a large number of balance changes and tweaks.<\/p>\n
