Battlefield 4's Naval Strike DLC will contain unique features, including changing weather patterns, dusk to dawn fights, and of course, a hovercraft.

"There'll be calm seas, stormy weather and many other weather effects," a post on the Battlefield Blog said. "For instance, on the Mortar Strike map, you'll start fighting at dawn and the map will be lit up by the resort lights. As the fight rages on, the sunrise will drench the tropical island in beautiful sunlight."

On the blog, the Battlefield 4 creators discuss some of the functions of the new DLC, including the hovercraft.

"The new hovercraft, or ACV, is a very fast transport vehicle with a driver and a passenger position that travels seamless between water and land. This unique ability has many advantages; you can for instance maneuver away from boats by short cutting through an island instead of going around it. These new abilities are exciting for us to bring to our players and I can't wait to see what crazy stuff we will see from this vehicle in the game!" they wrote.

Battlefield 4 Naval Strike DLC images have been leaked on Reddit just weeks before the expansion was set to arrive.

The images reveal the four new maps along with some of the vehicles used in the DLC. The screen shots can be seen here.

Naval Strike's Carrier Assault Mode will be a throwback to Titan Mode in Battlefield 2142.

The DLC will take place in the South China Sea, and involve two teams attacking each others aircraft carriers, reported Polygon. The battle takes place on three fronts.

"Both teams start on their own carrier and race to control the missile launchers placed on the map, by capturing the control points near them," Gustav Halling, gameplay designer, wrote on the official Battlefield blog. "This will automatically launch missiles towards he enemy carrier throughout the round, eventually destroying its hull and making it open for infantry attacks. When this happens for one or both teams, the carrier assault state is started."

He continued, "The team can then either drive a boat out to the carrier and climb aboard, or use the parachute spawn points above it. Once inside, the team must destroy two M-COM stations, which will open up new areas to the carrier, with the engine room being the final one. Destroying the two M-COM's, or bringing down the carrier hull's health to 0%, will win the match for your team."
