It was meant as a dry joke!
E.g. DICE would love to implement such a feature but has no idea how to replicate the glitch to do so!
Also it wouldn't surprise me if the game dumps assets from memory when you enter Commander mode in-game which would prevent re-entry in to the match proper without a loading screen. That's just some speculation on my part though.

To whomever thought it was a good idea to bring back the 0 Health bullshit from Bad Company 2 and BF3, I would greatly appreciate it if you all:
1. Eat shit
and
2. Go Fuck yourself
Both literally and in particular order. The fact that this shit was brought back and I had this shit happen to me at least 5-10 times so far in the last couple of hours makes me physically ill. I'm glad I'm so close to Rank 110 so I can take an actual break from this fucking mess

Jesus man, I know how you feel. Just played a round of Shanghai where three straight deaths came against people with 0 health. Fuckin sucks.

RFB with ACOG+Canted Ironsights with a grip is a good gun indeed, becomes very versatile
(and Hardcore Mode is good for grinding out quick kills with snipers+pistols if you cant get kills)
Battlefield is never stable, but its very playable now yes
Its just a bug showing the wrong amount of health someone has left, it's not a big deal. Calm the fuck down. Also, you can stop playing before reaching the highest rank you know.

Is it? I can recall a few times in BF3 where I was still alive at 0%.
You can still get to 0% health on a rare occasion, but the current glitch definitely doesn't display the enemies' health correctly. It happened a couple of times yesterday and if the guy got killed afterwards I never got a 99% or 100% kill assist. At one point a friend and I got killed by the same guy at basically the same time and I saw him at 0% health and my friend saw him at 100%. It can be a bit annoying, but it doesn't affect gameplay really.
Either I just have bad luck or the latest PS4 patch basically broke the game. Every single server I played had the worst rubber banding and lag I've ever seen. Completely unplayable. Like I wouldn't even be moving but my screen would shake and I'd see inside the ground.
To make things worse I had a friend over and it probably completely threw him off the game. I've never seen the game this bad. We joined different servers after playing rounds like 5-6 times and it was the same every time. Damn. We played through it but it wasn't any fun really.

i use them when i know i'm going to play atleast an hour straight with a friend. Usually after warmup time we do our best rounds so the points are maximized.
And they go toward unlocks, why would you "save them for later"?
Crazy question here. I loaned the game to a co worker and get it back today. How do you chamge loadouts in MP? He tild me he couldn't figure it out amd neither cpuld I before I loaned him the game. I remember seeing all of these available mods for my guns wwhenI ranked up but could never fimd how to apply them.
You can do it on Battlelog or in-game before spawning. There's no option on the main menu for some reason

Yup, its an incredibly annoying way of forcing Battlelog down our throats.
If its a console version when you are in the respawn menu, press square (or X i guess on the xbox) to edit the character class loadout.
The in game menu is a usability nightmare though, after selecting weapons, again by pressing square you can add attachments etc.

Rubber banding can be caused by 2 things that I know of. Either packet loss on the connection between you and the server or the server cpus being overloaded and not able to cope with sending out all the required updates to the players. If it is happening to you on every single server the problem is almost certainly going to be your connection. I've not seen any rubber banding for a few days here (also on ps4). I do think most of the rubber banding over xmas was caused by server overload though. Too many games running per box and lots of extra players would do that. Badly optimised maps wont help either.

not a big deal my ass. I would gladly have kill trading back over this shit. At least I would have the satisfaction of knowing that if I'm going down, the guy who's killing me is going down with me. DICE should have never tampered with it in the first place, the incompetent fucks
I am pretty sure the bug is that it just shows the wrong number. It will correctly know that their health is 23 or whatever, but it is displaying their health on your screen as 0.
They are not cheating you out of kiils, just showing the wrong numbers. You legitimatly got killed by someone else, they did not really have 0 health, its just the UI showing that.

Great post brings up a lot of what I was gonna say. I've been trying to use the SKS the past few nights and its just worthless. It definitely feels like if I fast-trigger fire it like a pistol, I only get half the hitmarkers I should.
It's kind of funny, but the two weapons I miss most from BF3 are the two based on the 416 platform (yet I don't care for or use the 416).
The M27 IAR and the M417. The 417 was probably OP but it felt so good, a lot like the FAL from MW2 which I used to murder with. Shame I know they ain't coming in Second Assault, either...
Christ.
Chill dude its just a game, its gonna get fixed.
Speaking of which, new minor Server Update R20 today
Yo damn!
I consider it good, on par with the starting/given shotgun while the others (besides like the first two unlocks if that) go downhill fast in being "useful."
But it is a HIP-FIRE GUN. You don't want to ADS with the SPAS-12 since it's cone is so damn random in hitting shit in that mode.
Whereas the starting shotgun is good for ADS AND hip-fire.

Hopefully this will fix the hit marker/detection issues for me.

I thought 0% was because of some weird way they calculate health below 1%?

kill trading hasn't gone anywhere! I get 3 kill trades at least, every fucking round. Game's netcode is trash, DiCe should be ashamed that they put this waste of fucking bytes out the door.

The RPG is like that. It's why I use SMAW instead, always shoots straight. Barely any drop either, so you can snipe people with it.
Pretty sure it's a glitch, the same thing sometimes happens with snipers. Instead of going (relatively) straight forward it shoots like 30 degrees to the side.
The Janitor
Member
Yeah I've noticed that, I think the SMAW is unaffected by this glitch though
Thats not a glitch. Its DICE mechanics. When suppressed or moving the spread of the shot increases greatly. Does this make sense for a 200 round LMG? Maybe. Does it make sense for a single shot rifle? No, but DICE does it anyway.

My grenade launcher has started doing this. Never happened before, not once in a while it will completely miss the mark.
RPG's are a glitch. But LMG hip-fire into ADS is...? a bug?
I'd assume that was intentional and frankly would leave it like that, but then you get into situations where you want to snap ADS accuracy boost and can't because that "bug" is there. :/

GG Gaz, sorry I didn't talk, I was in a party filled with hooligans.
Also had a damn nice run on randoms today, pushed the enemy back into their spawn for five straight games.

Thanks for this.
Edit: And now I can't spawn at all, what the hell. >.>
Okay so my soldier actually spawns but the deployment screen doesn't go away at all, and I can only see the first person view of my soldier from the small screen on the bottom left corner. Not that it matters because I can't control it either way.

Still unable to spawn even with punkbuster updated?

I can't actually get into the game to see whether or not the respawn issue is fixed lol. My soldiers spawns in but the deployment screen stays. I tried redeploying several times and reconnecting to a server, didn't work. And then the game crashed.

Looks like I can spawn now and respawn properly, for now....
