DICE reveals details about Battlefield 4's Battlelog

Developer DICE has released a new trailer that shows the features of the new Battlelog that will be making its way to Battlefield 4. In the trailer, developers explain that the Battlelog isn’t just a feature for PC gamers anymore; it will be everywhere. There will be a Battlelog on the console versions of the game, as well as apps for smartphones and tablets that will let players do everything one can do in the Battlelog. Check out the trailer:

There are a number of new features in the new Battlelog, however, the quality of these features is disputable at best. These features range from the completely inane, such as being able to set up your loadout on a smartphone when you aren’t even home, to some potentially useful and fun ones, such as using a tablet as a second screen that shows the minimap, or setting up challenges between you and your friends.
