LOL I just played the new version a bit and the netcode is even worse then before. I was getting absurd kill trades, where I would kill a guy, run for 1-2 seconds, then die to the guy that I just killed. Many times when I got killed it was to someone through walls well around corners, shooting at someone else, on another part of the map, etc. Same problems as before but even worse by a significant margin. Maybe it was just that server I was on, who knows, but I doubt it. On the bright side, the soldier movement and ADS is better.
Ive played a couple rounds of both Domination and Conquest and have not had any issues like that today. The game feels pretty much just like BF3 now, why didnt they just implement this from the beginning? Its not like BF4 was a big departure from BF3, its insane that it took them a fricken' year to get things ironed out.

Holy shit that's a ton of weapon changes. I guess we'll spend the next 2 months figuring out what's good again. Hopefully we can get some numbers on the changes pretty quickly.
They are all good enough, just pick up something and start killing peeps!

I really like the new netcode. I seem to be hitting fairly reliably now and the lack of scope sway is really helping my aim, I can finally use the kobra scope well with this patch. The new medic system works well enough and the gun play feels better.

The servers are really hit or miss, I've had a good one and two bad ones. I think the netcode is pretty much unchanged from pre-patch. However the game seems to run faster and smoother, it might be my imagination because of the increased movement responsiveness.

The soldiers are definitely more agile, lots of tweaks in the UI settings now. M-60 has a better fire rate.

I am getting a somewhat lower frame rate than before, I am down to 65 now instead of 80-90, performance has been steadily dropping since January!

I did notice lower frame rates on Siege Shanghai after the tower was taken down that I did not have pre-patch. Ill have to turn on the in game FPS counter next time to see just how much it has dropped for me, I didnt notice any difference on any other map.

Slight increase in vram usage for me, bit lower fps here along with my first crash since beta.First time i updated the game versus a re-install so maybe this has something to do with it.

That ready up and countdown timer to start the game absolutely sucks ass!!!! :twisted:

I find it odd that they put that back in

IIRC it was there when BF3 came out and people hated it so they removed it and all was good

no idea why it came back

Not sure if it was the server or the game but I was having weird lag. Sometimes when I would turn, the screen would get blurry. I tried turning down the graphics just in case but it made no difference.

I only played one short game but -everything- felt odd. Running seemed like I had massive DDD tits. The camera was bouncing up and down up and and down, in an unnatural rhythm.

Weapons seemed to have a ton more recoil, I know they changed muzzle brake, but the recoil felt stronger than if there was no attachment, or heavy barrel. Actually, that's exactly what it felt like, heavy barrel...

Dunno about this patch, need to give it more time.

Odd, I feel the exact opposite. I played about 2 hrs lat night and everything feels like it's in warp speed now, running and turning in an instant. Not sure how I feel about the uniform soldier aiming, maybe ill get used to it and like it but right now it's really screwing my muscle memory.

I'm a sad panda about the nerfs to the ACE52 and Bulldog, really don't see any reason to use them now. At least the damage reductions don't really matter in HC though so the SCARH is still my go to assault rifle.

Performance was fine with Mantle and new 14.9whql driver.

Shotguns are useless now. For sure they nerfed them even though I didn't see anything on the release notes (shocker!).

Also, what's up with the all the headshots now. I remember the same issue with BF3. I am also not a huge fan of the BF3 character movement as it feels way too bouncy and floaty. They should've kept that part alone.

The SLAM change is interesting. I wonder why they focused on that one rather that the use of SLAMs in the water, which is probably a bigger issue. I love to use them, I hate getting hit by them. Overall, it's a pretty big exploit, I'd say.

They wanted to give you a reason to use the AT mines. Mines if you want to 1 shot kill a tank and be able to walk away. Slams if you're actively defending and want creative options. Slams were too good before.
