Battlefield 4 Could React To Real-Time Weather Changes

In an interview with the Guardian, DICE CEO Patrick Soderlund noted that Battlefield 4 current cloud servers could bring real-time weather from your location to the game or even run maps that work better to reflect your local weather!

Soderlund noted, “I sit the floor above the Battlefield development team and there is no lack of ideas down there. It’s just a matter of, how many of them are feasible and how many can we do. One of the things I think is cool in Battlefield 4 is the geo-leaderboard – you can find out who in your neighbourhood is, say, the best best assault player. That’s cool. And so let’s take that a step further and say, what if we had servers where it pulls in just things as simple as weather and day time from the local area."

It certainly sounds like a novel idea, and if ideas like these come true, we might see a lot more games that will use location specific data for future games/game updates!
