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.

If that shark was real we would have TV coverage of thousands of Chinese fishermen chasing this thing around the globe would be more fun to watch that this broken mess of a game.

that's nice, but the game still doesn't work. People get distracted by these easter eggs but the game is still very broken. If DICE had put the time and effort into fixing the damn game as they do with these easter eggs the game would have been fixed by now.

So all we need is for a jet to be taken out by this thing and we got half the plot of MegaShark vs. Giant Octopus. Add an Oil Rig map with a Giant kraken Dice, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Because they needed to make the wildlife diverse, otherwise there would just be the bugs.

@Sevenizz The dude is clearly acting like he wasn't paid to "reveal" this -- it's a big distraction, trying to put some "cool cred" back into BF.
