Earlier this week DICE revealed a slew of new features for Battlefield 4 and the new Battlelog 2.0 system. Â One of these new features was a global leaderboard system that allows players to challenge friends and others in local, regional, and global competition.
While these expanded stat-tracking and competitive features sound like great ways to get more enjoyment out of DICE’s next game, some are worried about privacy concerns with the new geo-leaderboard system. Â Fortunately, DICE is already out in front of this potential problem. Â The leaderboards in Battlefield 4 will be completely opt-in, according to a statement from the developers.
“It’s 100% opt-in; you can even choose a different location that your real one and if everyone, only friends or you can see it,” Â DICE said via Twitter.
Great news indeed for Battlefield 4 fans, but it shouldn’t come as huge surprise. Â DICE has said that allowing players to be “invisible” online is a top priority, following complaints that users were being harassed in Battlefield 3 using Battlelog and Origin.
It really sounds like DICE has all their bases covered in Battlelog 2.0. Â If you missed the most recent features trailer for the service, you can find it, below.
