Battlefield 4 Maps in Real Life (Base Maps + All DLCs)

The real life locations of every multiplayer map in Battlefield 4.
Unfortunately I did not preserve the links to the sources of each photograph, but luckily you can still find them if you reverse image search the photos, along with some pretty interesting articles about each of these locations in some cases.

I played btf4 so much that, if one day I visited these places my survival instinct will automatically activate thinking I'm in a war zone

Oh no, crinj

Underrated comment😂

[@gergoszabo7168]

Oh with the rising risk of WW3 you just might actually battle in one of these places.

Good to finally see where it all took place after this years, great job with the editing also!

[@overfoxed]

Great video. I swear, every time I hear BF4 music I gotta hop on the game lmao

Nansha Strike looks like 1:1 replicated.

This was really neat to see, thank you for this chief.

Rogue Transmission its based on Arecibo Radio Telescope in America!

[@FelipeGabe]

Yeah, while researching for the video I did see a few people saying Rogue Transmission is in Arecibo instead of Tianyan, but the problem with that theory is that, while DICE clearly used Arecibo as a reference for the model of the radiotelescope, in the context of Battlefield 4's lore it makes no sense for the map itself to take place in Arecibo instead of Tianyan. I mean, why would China and Russia (the two cannonical teams in the map) be fighting each other in Puerto Rico?
I believe the reason it looks like Arecibo is probably because Tianyan was only finished around 2016 (3 years after BF4 was released), so DICE went with the closest reference they had available when the game was in development.

[@1KingSS613]

@@FelipeGabe I had never thought of that, it really makes sense!
The structure used is undoubtedly that of the Arecibo telescope, but it doesn't make sense for it to be in Puerto Rico!

[@IlNamelessKinglI]

​@@FelipeGabe doesnt make sense for Russia to fight against CN in multiplayer anyways since they are allies 😂

@@IlNamelessKinglI It does if you know that China is also kind of having its usual civil war shenanigans, with US and RU aligned units respectively in BF4

Thanks bro so much for this video.
I lived for bf4 back in the day.
I still play on ps5

[@jarol2k]

Nice job!

[@joelastr]

Man, I loved the video, especially you using logical reasons for like changing locations, for example you said Rouge Transmission probably takes place there because it wouldn't make sense for Russia and China to fight in Puerto Rico, you earned a new sub.

[@shikiyi657]

Love the work man!
By the way bf4 OST is so goooood!

[@JoseAguilar-mq9lh]

Damn china beautiful ngl

[@FelipeGabe]

Indeed. While researching for the video I was taken aback by how scenic some landscapes in China are. No wonder DICE made some maps out of them.

[@alsymiya413]

I kinda feel why Chinese government banned this game... you see, a lot of locations are the Chinese borders. Ironically, a DLC called "China Rising" sets four map locations in China itself, rather than China goes to Hawaii which was done by WW2 empirical Japanese army.

With WW3 coming soon we just might actually battle in one of these places.
(Expect Zavod 311 that actually a real war zone now)

[@kimmy620]

It's not. Two strikes but it's nowhere near frontlines.

[@wahabschannel]

wow your back at uploading kinda…? still goodluck in the modern algorithm trust me its just roasting people and other stupid stuff

[@ephxiaa]

no way!!! they made the maps into a real thing!

[@user-hg6sb9lv3m]

In fact, most of them only added local iconic buildings, and most areas were fictional. In some places, they were even demolished and damaged

[@giahuynguyenkim6389]

I can't believe Zavod 311 will be a real battleground soon. Actually, it was already so before, right?

[@FelipeGabe]

Yes, the Malyshev factory has already been hit by missile strikes a couple of times since the Russian invasion of Ukraine begun.

[@muller1424]

nope

[@kimmy620]

Yeah that ain't happening any time soon

[@spetsnaz7192]

i thought gulf of oman was in oman lol

[@FelipeGabe]

I initially thought so as welll, but the Wiki lists the map as being in the Irainian coast, in Bandar-e-Jask. Also, in the map, the body of water is to the south, so the only way for it to still be near the Gulf of Oman with the sea being to the south is for it to take place in Iran.

i agree with u but i remeber the hotel has an arabic song playing thats why i thought it was oman the country @@FelipeGabe
