Battlefield 4 followed in 2013, introducing the dynamic "Levolution" gameplay.

It's a bit of a bummer that Battlefield classics are being pulled from PS3 and Xbox 360, but it's awesome they’ll still live on through newer platforms. Great move by EA to keep the nostalgia alive while pushing forward with technology.

It's a bummer to see Battlefield 3, 4, and Hardline getting phased out on PS3 and Xbox 360, but it's a good move to keep the series focused on current-gen platforms. If you haven't experienced the chaos and intensity of these iconic titles yet, now's the time to jump in on PS4, Xbox One, or PC
