Naval Strike DICE Interview - Craig Mcleod

An Interview I recorded with DICE Producer Craig Mcleod who is one of the leads on Naval Strike - We talk about the new DLC, also managed to squeeze in Gadget, Netcode and easter egg questions!

"We got a fantastic reception from Paracel Storm and one of the big things with BF4 that we're bringing forward was the amphibious warfare. So we really want to dedicate a pack to this." They had all the DLC planned out before the game's launch. I remember seeing the trailers during the summer when DICE was at that event in Europe. I remember seeing posts about all five DLC's being released before the end of summer 2014. How did they know people would like Naval Warfare? Let alone a naval DLC? Sometimes I wonder how BF4s launch would have gone had less time been spent designing DLC.

Your interviews are so much better than ones you would find on gamespot or IGN or any of those sites.

[GameMediaOutlet]

i absolutely love BF4 despite its technical issues.

That was a "Gotcha" moment when Jack asked him about the logic of including another grenade launcher.

[MajoraMoon]

It genuinely put a sad smile on my face when Craig started talking about how much Dice cares for the game and works their hardest to fix this (essentially illegal) stuff that EA pulled on them. Keep at it, DICE, great game you have here!

Thanks a lot for the interview Jack but unfortunately you forgot the most interesting part: the AA mine. Maybe because Mcleod just talked about the 3GL.
I'm kinda wondering how the 3GL is supposed to help you when you're surrounded by attack boats on Lost Islands, because it does no damage to them at all.

Great interview jack! I'm angry at dice for the way BF4 plays at the moment, but my god they sound to nice to hate lol.

can't wait to fall through these maps

Simply a good interview with good questions which are relevant. Thanks Jack!

Every time jack asked a question Craig sounds like a recording : "Blah blah blah it's all about delivering the best experience.

essentially that he(Craig) said at 5:20 is that the consoles were constraining the development and creativity of DICE

Jack, of all the battlefield community you have the most amazing videos and editing. Although Mitimio is giving you a run for your money with his scope in scope out next scene edits :P But what I'm trying to say is that I really enjoy your content and I look forward to every single video that is to come out. Love you Jack. :D

Does anyone else have this feeling in their gut that the 512MBs of RAM on last-gen was the reason why there was no escape-scene for Carrier Assault? He did talk about memory issues, and that was the first thing that came to mind...

[Warlord]

So straightforward and informative! Great interview Jack!! Here's hoping for a smooth launch of the Naval Strike xpack.. 

[paolomarcellogrant]

So funny/awkward when jack asked about if the 3 granade launcher was really needed.

[MADMAN]

Jack I swear you should be a journalist, it was just so fluid how you managed to talk about all the essentials that the BF4 community wanted to know without it feeling forced or pretentious and I would to applaud for that effort and excellent presentation :)

[BeauKnows]

You're getting pretty good at these interviews Jack, nice work.  One suggestion, your questions sometimes seem a bit long or over-explained.  But you are definitely a great middleman for the devs and the BF4 community, able to get great info and ask the stuff we all want answers to.  We appreciate it...

[johnwilliams]

Great interview Jack! Not surprised he didn't say anything about the netcode. It really would be nice to know a little more about what is being done by Dice to improve it... or at least say why it cannot be fixed.

[phkused]

Way to ask the questions we wanted answers to Jack, most youtubers would have folded, and just asked stupid questions about their favorite maps, weapons, etc - Good job on getting a Dice guy to answer the questions about the 3LG nade launcher and the anti air launcher!  Put him on the spot, and he handled it well

[jzofop]

Great interview!  Thanks Jack for all you do for the Battlefield community.  Really looking forward to Naval Strike this Tuesday!
