Battlefield 4 Gets "Core Gameplay Improvements" in Next Update

Wait you are telling me that it's still experiencing core gameplay issues after ONE YEAR OF RELEASE????? Hahaha..here I was going to actually give my money to EA. Counter-strike is rolling on the floor laughing it's fat ass off.

Got this yesterday and after a few hours I think. Single player looks lovely on 360 but doesn't really push my buttons. But ok, better than I expected but not by much.

Multiplayer just feels different to my beloved BF3. Just doesn't feel as raw. Guns feel weaker. I don't know I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't feel as good.

Too late, far too late.

any expected release date for the update?

Anybody,was soldier movement better in BF3 or BF4?I've never had any BF before BF4;my first

They should have been working on a refund.

"..a "de-cluttering" of the HUD/User Interface to show only what is most important, and a special effort to make revives easier to use and understand."

FINALLY. This game throws waaaay too much info on you on the screen that it clutters what you really need to look at. So tired of not shooting an enemy I thought was my teammate because a teammate just so happened to be directly behind him 100m away and his blue marker was sitting over the enemy.

This game is just so dead for me. My friends and I have all moved on to other games. I really can't see myself getting into battlefield now even though it's fixed. I just don't care anymore. BF4, very well may be my last Battlefield game.

Year later and game is still having problems honestly bf is dead until they come up with a proper sequel not bf5/hardline or it will kill off majority of fanbase, so either a bf anniversary collection containing remakes of all old bf titles before bfbc or what the fan base wants bfbc3. That said hopefully DICE can get battlefront right and not make a bf clone or EA doesn't mess it up either way that all to be said.

PS4 version seems largely stable and playable now, the only glaring issue they still haven't fixed is the dead silence at the beginning of a match when audio effects take too long to load

I just started playing again after an 8-9 month break, its really is not very much better than before. This update better make some decent improvements. I'll never pre order again from DICE.

They removed the need for Origin?!

Oh... More generic updates I see.

Will these updates coming to xone too?

Well from my experiences with BF3, (horrible player de-syncs, getting hit while behind cover: aka magical corner turning bullets, delayed kills, shooting someone without them dying or taking damage, instant 1-hit-kills from any gun) mainly just in general how bad the netcode was made multiplayer unplayable and all of these issues were common and happened all the time. So I didn't buy BF4 which turned out to be smart considering these problems are even worse in BF4.

One entire year later, an entire YEAR, they are attempting to improve the netcode? This CTE is only available to people who own BF4 premium as well? That seems idiotic if you're testing netcode you would want as many players as possible to stress it to see what the results of the attempted "improvements" are.

I wonder if they will charge something for the patch after its done, pretty ridiculous and its pretty hilarious. For me, battlefield died with BF2. 3 was a disaster and 4 appears to be even worse. Sorry dice but I won't be purchasing BF4 or your "hardline" crap either.

Not getting battlefront either. 20 bucks says the MP will be just as unplayable with their dog crap netcode. Dice makes a good engine for visuals, but that's the only thing they do. Maybe they should go and make single-player games only because if you can't get your MP to run smoothly without any problems then there is no point, nobody wants to play a mp game with problems like these.

1 year in and we find out the the new innovative buggy, laggy, broken BF4 will improve itself by being more like BF3... Seems legit.

I'm trying it on Game Time, only thing I like is low number of bullets needed in HC to kill.

I had bugs, glitches, pretty happy I didn't spend money on it. Also tried Hardline beta, won't be getting that piece of shit...

BF3 has flaws, but is better, I even bought Premium.

I feel like they are just stripping away all of the new core mechanics and replacing them with BF3's ones.

loadouts not saving, those annoying orange arrows...

Playing through the campaign on Origin's Game Time promotion, have to say the BF4 campaign is quite boring so far, it's pretty but far as fun I haven't really been excited by it at all. Maybe I haven't gotten to the good parts yet but so far it's just 'meh'.

So are these patches for PC only????

Its free for a week, so everyone can decide whether they like it or not.

Why tell us about the patch instead of just releasing it?

As much as I'd love to play this game, there are way too many good games that deserve to be played ahead of this half-assed, clunky, buggy, ill conceived and poorly designed crap.

Will they add gore and bullet wounds? I don't get why we are allowed to blow apart buildings, but when you shoot hostiles, they fall down without a scratch on them. This game is about war and it's rated M for mature. Step it up Dice!

Does anyone still play this piece of embarrassment?

The patch is called BF5

"core gameplay improvements" aka more crashes

I've only been playing Battlefield 4 as a part of the free one week gametime thing, but man I can really see why people can complain about the netcode. I play BF3 religiously, and when I have a ping of 10 in BF4 it feels closer to a ping of 200 in BF3!
