As French, Metro doesn't really feel french as the Metro I know and take everyday. Outside is typically not parisian. The only place really "metro" is the train platform with the ads on the walls.
looking back on BF4 and its near future setting, i really enjoy the amount of speculation put into where DICE thought WW3 could take place in. Coupled with the music, just seeing the real life areas the battlegrounds are based on fills me with a strange feeling of dread, ESPECIALLY ones like Hainan Resort or Operation Mortar with their tourist attraction/vacation hotspot settings. Nice work!
I kinda feel why Chinese government banned this game... you see, a lot of locations are the Chinese borders. Ironically, a DLC called "China Rising" sets four map locations in China itself, rather than China goes to Hawaii which was done by WW2 empirical Japanese army.
China banned this game because they were depicted as bad guys by the story - which is funny since a Chinese military coup fighting civilian resistance is perfectly in line with their history
Ive come to the realization that main bf titles will not have US cities as maps. For modern day that is. No country can assemble enemy troops in the mainland US as of right now. Only the US can deploy troops to its near adversaries territories, given all the bases the US has. Chinas navy as of right now, is focused in the south china sea.
This game…this game was awesome, I have so many fond memories Everything about this game was amazing, the soundtrack is the icing on the cake EA, just remaster this game…that’s all you guys need to do and everyone will love you Plus you’ll also make a lot of money
Yeah, while researching for the video I did see a few people saying Rogue Transmission is in Arecibo instead of Tianyan, but the problem with that theory is that, while DICE clearly used Arecibo as a reference for the model of the radiotelescope, in the context of Battlefield 4's lore it makes no sense for the map itself to take place in Arecibo instead of Tianyan. I mean, why would China and Russia (the two cannonical teams in the map) be fighting each other in Puerto Rico? I believe the reason it looks like Arecibo is probably because Tianyan was only finished around 2016 (3 years after BF4 was released), so DICE went with the closest reference they had available when the game was in development.
@@FelipeGabe I had never thought of that, it really makes sense! The structure used is undoubtedly that of the Arecibo telescope, but it doesn't make sense for it to be in Puerto Rico!
@@IlNamelessKinglI It does if you know that China is also kind of having its usual civil war shenanigans, with US and RU aligned units respectively in BF4
@@IlNamelessKinglI It makes sense both geopolitically and in the context of the game, The Chinese have shown increased interest in taking Siberia from Russia, and in the game, Russia supports the Coup on Xin Xie. So either China is fighting Russia because of this, or Russia refused to withdraw troops after the coup ended.
Thank you very much. I have been looking for exactly this type of video, like a year ago. I didnt play bf4 for 9mon because i didnt have a tv, and i just started playing it again and your video is just in time
Man, I loved the video, especially you using logical reasons for like changing locations, for example you said Rouge Transmission probably takes place there because it wouldn't make sense for Russia and China to fight in Puerto Rico, you earned a new sub.
There are two mistakes I see in Siege of Shanghai, one is the Huangpu River is a little bit too wide, making the skyscrapers at Pudong District farther away from the tower (Flag B, per Conquest Small, since I play PS3), second is the distance between the Shanghai Tower and Pearl Tower is too far away from each other. But overall, it's a very good map design to play around.
Yeah, maps ingame are definitely not exact replicas of their real world counterparts, likely because it wouldn't make for good gameplay really. It is still cool to see where the inspiration was drawn from though.
Playing BF4 since 2017, almost forgot that "Operation Outbreak" map 😁 I think i played it only one time on the special server just to acqure phantom bow easily
rogue transmission is literally designed after the Arecibo obsevatory in Puerto Rico. Maybe in-game lore placed it in china, though there was no clear mention of it anywhere. you should have shown Arecibo which its antenna collapsed in 2020, which is year bf4 is happening
This a common confusion regarding the location of Rogue Transmission. Yes, the radio telescope in the map was modeled after the one in Arecibo, however, in the context of Battlefield 4's lore it makes no sense for the map itself to take place in Arecibo instead of Tianyan. I mean, why would China and Russia (the two cannonical teams in the map) be fighting each other in Puerto Rico?

I initially thought so as welll, but the Wiki lists the map as being in the Irainian coast, in Bandar-e-Jask. Also, in the map, the body of water is to the south, so the only way for it to still be near the Gulf of Oman with the sea being to the south is for it to take place in Iran.
Good to finally see where it all took place after this years, great job with the editing also!
I played btf4 so much that, if one day I visited these places my survival instinct will automatically activate thinking I'm in a war zone
Oh no, crinj
Underrated comment😂
Oh with the rising risk of WW3 you just might actually battle in one of these places.

They even got Ukraine right with zavod but still they didn't focused on the middle eastern part with Israel and Europe where the Russians could invade
Great video. I swear, every time I hear BF4 music I gotta hop on the game lmao

yeah they are right about this… i hate dice for not making chineese battle in new york or somewhere in hawaii

Nice job!
Great video!
I love seeing content still being made about BF4, so long after the game came out...
Thanks bro so much for this video.
I lived for bf4 back in the day.
I still play on ps5
This was really neat to see, thank you for this chief.
Nansha Strike looks like 1:1 replicated.

Plus you’ll also make a lot of money
Love the work man!
By the way bf4 OST is so goooood!
Damn china beautiful ngl
Indeed. While researching for the video I was taken aback by how scenic some landscapes in China are. No wonder DICE made some maps out of them.
lol
Rogue Transmission its based on Arecibo Radio Telescope in America!

With WW3 coming soon we just might actually battle in one of these places.
(Expect Zavod 311 that actually a real war zone now)
It's not. Two strikes but it's nowhere near frontlines.
And Hammerhead.
@@Mathiakle Hammerhead looks more like abandoned soviet era bases in Primorye krai

Yeah I saw your thinking there and it makes sense!
It's funny how the real life equivalent of the sea dragon capsized by the paracel islands
Made me appreciate the soundtrack
Exactly what I was thinking. All the little undertones of location, especially Golmud
Blud smuggled out pictures of North Korea 💀
Gotta risk it for the biscuit sometimes.
no way!!! they made the maps into a real thing!
In fact, most of them only added local iconic buildings, and most areas were fictional. In some places, they were even demolished and damaged
Battlefield 4 is so good I wish China was real

BF3 version?
This is fucking genius I swear to God it is so crazy I love it
thanks for sharing this
I can't believe Zavod 311 will be a real battleground soon. Actually, it was already so before, right?
Yes, the Malyshev factory has already been hit by missile strikes a couple of times since the Russian invasion of Ukraine begun.
nope
Yeah that ain't happening any time soon
@@tootheinternet russia will not have enough forces and equipment to take a city with a population of 2 million
At first i thought the first golmud photo was in game 😂
They turned war on zavod into a real thing now💀
wow your back at uploading kinda…? still goodluck in the modern algorithm trust me its just roasting people and other stupid stuff
Please a version of bf 3 ot 2042 ❤❤
this is amazing
I wonder if the old DICE team went there for reference.
Altai Range's music did not have to go that hard
Same with the last two wtf
Awesome
Caspian Border in real life is disappointing me
Yupp me too, I really love that map
Guilin was absulutely the same…😮
Goated
i thought gulf of oman was in oman lol

i agree with u but i remeber the hotel has an arabic song playing thats why i thought it was oman the country @@FelipeGabe
I thought Operation Whiteout was in Antarctica or Greenland
No its in Northern Siberia
great respect
thanks man
