Interview was done before BF4 was released

1. Don't tell players what to do
2. Make every class count
3. Don't do too much
4. Think big and small
5. Refine the basics
6. Design for new tech
7. Embrace competition
8. Don't change things for the sake of it
9. Make the most of your setting
10. Fine-tune everything

11. Make sure your game is busted at launch

UltraGunner · Dec 15, 2013

DICE should not be telling others how to make a next gen shooter. And lol at number 10.

seventynine · Dec 15, 2013

Is this a parody?

Tomcat · Dec 15, 2013

release first fix later

Mikey Jr. · Dec 15, 2013

They are just asking for it, aren't they?

Majanew · Dec 15, 2013

Make it hard to play with friends in multiplayer?
And when you finally get your friends in your game, and on your team, it crashes? Weeee

lol, DICE

IHaveIce · Dec 15, 2013

Hey jerks, you seemed to have skipped 10 when developing BF4

vocab · Dec 15, 2013

Ironic because they made a cod campaign and ditched class balance after bf2/2142. Don't change for the sake of it? Then why did you change battlefield?

Phatosaurus · Dec 15, 2013

Shouldn't they finish making Battlefield 4 first before telling others how to make a game?

DICE you can have your post-launch talk stuff after you actually finished shipping a functional product.

VibratingDonkey · Dec 15, 2013

They need a top 11.

1. Ship the game when it is actually finished and not in beta form.

Neutralfanboy · Dec 15, 2013

Embrace competition=be more like COD

simples · Dec 15, 2013

12. fix game crashing bugs

Confused. Not good tips.

Cool, can't wait for THQ's Top 10 ways to stay in business... or MS's Top 10 ways to reveal a console...

DenogginizerOS · Dec 15, 2013

This might actually be the straw that sends me to the store to sell it. Fix your product first. Then brag. Totally inappropriate.

That's actually step 1012 for DICE.

Pretty much.

While he is talking about design and not technical implementation its not a good idea boast about your game when its so damn unstable a month after release.

Sojgat · Dec 15, 2013

"Don't ship a broken game" doesn't even make the top 10? This explains a lot.

Dark_AnNiaLatOr · Dec 15, 2013

What a joke. If you're reading this DICE, what made you swallow your pride?

EA's holiday deadline?

Disguises · Dec 15, 2013

Well that's a bold move.

"Fine-tune everything" Heh...

Didn't have time.

Who at dice thought this was a good idea right now? Not now, dice. Not now.

Make every class count? Looks like DICE didn't even follow their own advice. BF4's class system is so busted, they need to go back to having more than 4 classes.

Kansoku · Dec 15, 2013

Do as I say, not as I do.

SneakyStephan · Dec 15, 2013

Don't tell the player what to do? Unless they want to turn off those shitty lens flares, then tell them you'll ban them if they try to do that!

Chamber · Dec 15, 2013

Oh, this isn't an Onion article?

Considering past games, nah. They know what they're doing. No matter what internet crybabies want to think about BF4.

Deband · Dec 15, 2013

They should know.

fabricated backlash · Dec 15, 2013

Oh this is rich.

How broken is BF4 compared to CoD Ghosts on PC?

Uiki · Dec 15, 2013

I can't believe that DICE is giving tips on how to make a good online fps.

Yes, because complaining about a broken game is now called being a crybaby. Let me guess, those complainers are also entitled, right

And the article isn't about past games, it's about next gen shooters specifically.
