Daniel Matros, en af producerne bag Battlefield 4, har fortalt mere om DICEs e-sportsplaner for spillet i et interview med YouTube-brugeren Ph4tso.
"So, making it a sport means working with big leagues, working with the community on it, working with players, see what they want. We're bringing out spectator mode - very well sought after - the Domination game mode, Defuse game mode, perfect competitive game modes, and at the end of the day, the crowd decides what they want to see."
Matros fortæller også, at man ikke vil pille ved det grundlæggende gameplay, og at spilmekanikkerne forbliver intakte. Derimod ser han muligheder i de nye spiltyper, såsom Defuse, hvor ti spillere kæmper mod hinanden i hold af fem, uden mulighed for respawns.
"Making it a sport means that Battlefield can't change from what Battlefield is. So, suppression's in there, you have big open levels, you have small levels, you have tight urban settings, you have huge landscapes, you can do anything you want."
"But the sport remains a 5 vs. 5 offline, that's what we're going for. And we're just going to feel the crowd, see what the crowd likes, see what the casters like, see what the casters think of the game in general"
