News: EA and DICE reveal some new information regarding the Battlefield 4 campaign that sees the US at odds with China and Russia.

EA and Dice have revealed some more information about the Battlefield 4 campaign. The basic premise is below:

In Battlefield 4 you will assume the role of Sergeant Daniel Recker, member of an elite group of soldiers known as Tombstone squad. While you are on a mission collecting intelligence from a defecting Russian general in Azerbaijan, you are discovered and you must fight your way through Russian troops to try and escape. Once you return to the USS Valkyrie, a Wasp class carrier, you find out the intelligence you just gained confirms previous suspicions. It appears the Chinese Admiral Chang is planning a coup in China and the Russians would back him up.

With this new information the USS Valkyrie sets a course for Shanghai. You and Tombstone Squad are sent on a special mission to try and extract some VIPs from the city. The U.S. has been implicated in the assassination of Jin Jie, the future leader and voice for peace in China and China is in an uproar about it. Admiral Chang has canceled elections and martial law has been declared.

In Shanghai protesters are clashing with police as the streets become filled with chaos and turmoil. You manage to find the VIPs, among them a CIA field operative named Laszlo W. Kovic. There is a mysterious individual with him as well that the Chinese military has been searching frantically for. You must now fight your way back to the USS Valkyrie and make sure your VIPs get there safely. Once on board, and with communications dead, the Valkyrie sets a course for Singapore to rendezvous with the USS Titan and the 7th US carrier group at their last known position. As you reach Singapore you realize that the flagship has been sunk and its fleet has been decimated. What are you going to do?

Battlefield 4 is going to be available later this year for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PC. Which version will you be picking up?
