Just a short note that we are finalizing the next game update for multiple platforms, aiming to release them later this month. Stay tuned for the full details in the Battlefield 4 Control Room.

Watching the snow gently fall on the Kunlun Mountains of Operation Locker, we at DICE are filled with pure holiday serenity (mixed of course with feelings of glorious all-out war chaos). And we hope you feel the same! We would like to take this opportunity to wish all Battlefield fans happy holidays.

We also would love to hear about how you’re planning to celebrate the upcoming festivites, Battlefield 4 style. Will you be dashing through the snow in the aforementioned Operation Locker? Playing Commander on your tablet by the fireplace? Or maybe just creating christmas-themed emblems?

Whatever you do, we wish you all the best and hope we will see you on the Battlefield!

Impressive, Battlefield 4 fans! After we asked for your best-looking emblems, we’ve been overwhelmed by your creativity. The stylish examples below are only a few of many original creations. We’ll be on the lookout for these emblems on your weapons and vehicles on the Battlefield.

As you may know, emblems are created in Battlelog. In the emblem editor you can play around with a wide variety of layered shapes and symbols. You can unlock even more emblem shapes through Battlepacks and by going Premium.

So if you’re feeling artistic, head to Battlelog and create your very own, personalized emblem. Make it special; we’ll be posting more of our favorites in the near future…
