Trivia / Battlefield 4

• Ascended Fanon: Several examples from Battlefield Friends.
  • The Megalodon started as a rumour the Noob heard (or maybe started), and is now an Easter Egg in the game.
  • The Colonel has gotten so many knife kills that he eventually unlocks a bipod for it in one episode. For obvious reasons, this used to be impossible. Emphasis on "used to be;" you can now unlock a knife with a bipod by reaching level 100. The knife's description even references the squickiest aspect of the Colonel's obsession:
    Description: Your very own bipod knife (no bucket required).
  • In the Battlefield 4 CTE version of the then-unreleased map "Dragon Valley", C4 Explosives for the Support and Recon Classes have been hilariously re-named "[JEEP STUFF]" and "[POSSIBLY STOLEN JEEP STUFF]" respectively in reference to Season 4 Episode 4.
  • Appsro (the Engineer) and Doraleous (the Assault) even lend their voices for a series of three NPC conversations in the Tashgar level.
• Banned in China: Subverted. The only ban that took place was a ban on selling the game anywhere but on the Origin web store & game launcher.
• Executive Meddling: The reason why the game was released in such a bad state back in 2013 was due to EA's decision to have Battlefield and Medal of Honor releasing in a bi-yearly basis to compete with Call of Duty's yearly releases, leading to both games releasing clearly rushed and broken, which ended up killing the latter franchise.
• The Other Darrin: Dima's appearance is drastically different in this game. He no longer looks like Oleg Taktarov (his previous VA); he now looks like Patrick Stewart. His new appearance is actually modeled on his new VA, Pasha Lychnikov, with the addition of significant keloid scars on his face from the nuclear blast in Paris from BF3. In fact, he looks much more like Solomon from the previous game.
