Battlefield 4 players discover massive Megalodon shark Easter Egg

Players discover the prehistoric Megalodon lurking in the waters of the game's new Nansha Strike map.

An enemy lurks in the waters of Battlefield 4's new Nansha Strike map, but it might not be what you expect. Battlefield 4 players have finally discovered a virtual version of the prehistoric Megalodon shark and it does not disappoint.

YouTuber JackFrags made the discovery following the release of the Naval Strike DLC this week, which introduced the Nansha Strike map. He pieced together some clues last year that led him to believe the creature was stirring in the waters, but he was unable to discover the beast until this week.

"When it happened for the first time I didn't think it was real, like I had imagined it or something," JackFrags said on Twitter. He said he asked the other players on the server if they saw the shark as well and they reported that they did. "The reaction was amazing," he said.

Glanced at the title quickly and clicked because I thought it said Megidolaon Shark...This is still cool though. A friend of mine showed it to me the other day.

This would have been way cooler had it been in Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

1.07 mins of video. This must be PC footage??? because my copy on the 360 would have frozen before the shark showed up. I think the next DLC will be a starship troopers mode, that way EA can let the players sort out the bugs for them.

lol Pretty cool, but not cool enough to want me spending more time in BF4, I went back to CS, that game never gets old.

This is an accurate portrayal of EA where the shark represents it.

Maybe less time spend on this and more time spend on bugs would have resulted in a better user experience? The game is still garbage.

Exactly. If you have time to waste programming an Easter egg, make the game work properly first.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Not the servers you troll, the models in the core GAME to make them better. If he is building models he isn't a server admin. Dude.....did it hurt? All the times your mom dropped you as a kid.

Well i must say im not a battlefield fan but even i must say this is awesome it's always nice to see a dev put little or big surprises like this for gamers as for the bugs not sure how bad it is but i'm sure all will be fixed in time remember folks Rome wasn't built in a day.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Rome might not have been but in a day but it seems that BF4 was. I still can not play more than 2 games without it freezing. I hope that when the new BF game is announced at E3 the crowd give EA the reception they deserve. And one big middle finger from me to.

Surely that's some big shark, but I was wondering whether there are any other maps where we can get to see shark. Hopefully I got my answer here : << LINK REMOVED >>

this is pretty cool but yes it also great to see them use time on adding somethingn like this and keep all the bugs in the game and let the buyers be treated like guinea pigs
