For anyone having issues aiming after the Spring Update, here's a video explaining what was changed.

I think I was seeing bad lag that first night. The spotting actually works better now.
I do wish they would stop tinkering with the guns.

Didn't know this had made it out of CTE. Good stuff!

Boy, the AN94 sucks. Average at best. The burst has an artificial limiter so if you are on consoles it'll feel like its jamming if you pull the trigger too fast.

DICE logic: "The UCAV is overpowered at the beginning of round based games. Let's add a 60 second cooldown to all game types for the duration of matches!"
Brilliant!
Brilliant!
That patch though:
Red dot shouldn't be in Spectator since it should mimic the player-view in-game. But nice to know that the "center" of the screen is where bullets will generally hit outside of sharp turns.
Player in a free falling animation and running backwards from their camera/disappearing primary/secondary weapons in spectator. BUUUUUUUUUUUUT:
Oh DICE... What won't you break?
(For the record, that last set REMOVES all your kit item stuff besides the secondary, anything that does NOT have a icon in the loadout screen despite seeing it's name and saying it's "equipped" = bye-bye.)
#ThanksSpringPatch?

Funny, the Kobra sights aren't aligned correctly on the AN94. I thought that was fixed in CTE?
Okay, seems I can't even play more than one round. Next round triggers the bug after about 5-10 mins, then the third round/map change will hang in a perpetual load.
Either DICE fucked up badly, or something is going on.

The UCAV was a mistake to start with. It has no business being in the game.

Then remove it. As a balancing method it's a complete failure.
Can't really do that when people use it/DICE-DICE(.se) doesn't want DICE-LA to remove it/dictates.
But you're right: It shouldn't have been in the game in the first place. It's a high-reward/low-risk weapon. At least now with it's "nerf" it's to the point of deterring most abusers. You should've seen it when China Rising launched. THAT was fucking annoying.

Shotguns are hilariously fun to use now. The 870 was getting me all kinds of kills, even at longer distances than I thought I could reach out to. Buckin people has never been so fun in bf4.

It's only really good at long rangers where it can snipe.
Medium to close and it sucks because of the 120ms burst delay and the engine glitch with burst fire weapons not registering button presses correctly.
Is the game super crashy for anyone else this patch? I've never had CTDs before, not even at launch. Now I'm struggling to get through a whole round. Tried the new Nvidia drivers released today and it changed the crashes from generic "bf4.exe has stopped working" to weird .dll crashes.

There are sooooooo many incompetent players nowadays. Good thing I only signed up to plus for a month. Will probably return when new maps hit and maybe by then the suck squad will be gone or have improved.
When do new maps come?

Ahahahaha. No it wouldn't. It's the Bad Company 2 AN-94 nearly. Which is good. BF3's was TRASHHHHHHHHH.
9AM EST:
Battleflop: ModofBF4line doing poorly? You don't say.
May it rest in peace in peace with Titanflop.
I have found it to be fine at all ranges. Just double tap out headshots.
Like BC2?

Ahh the AN-94 was my favorite weapon in BC2 and I am glad its back in BF4 :3 starting playing again just to remember how much I enjoy BF4.

Oh wow, even current gen has fallen behind. Maybe I'll pick it up when digital is $20 on sale...
Don't. Wait for Premium, ya bastard!</Steam sale time>
Ok, so apparently the two latest Nvidia drivers either don't agree with this patch, or with BF4 in general. Went back to the older 347.88 and no more crashes.
Yay for playing musical drivers. whatyearisit.jpg
Anyway, I love having the AN-94 back. Makes for a nice change from just using my SCAR all the time for assault. The improved range on the SMGs seems nice too, actually had fun using the MX4.

Wow at the amount of people still playing BF4 on the PS3!
The AN94 was the best gun on BF3 if you could master it. That 1200 RPM.
Nope, this latest patch made the game worse for me. Kill times feel too fast. Two or three bursts with the AN-94 in any direction at any distance and people are dying. And all the other weapons feel weird. My MTAR is just... ugh. Feels like they've chopped the range off.
Really not enjoying it.

I have to say, this is still my favorite game for this gen so far. Especially now with all the constant fixes. Really excited for battlefront now.

I prefer the L85A2 and M416 for assault rifles with HB and angled grip.
I rarely use PDWs. When I do its either the P90, SR-2, or MPX. For carbines I typically used the AK-5C, ACE21, or now the G36C all with HB and stubby grip.
LMGs are either the AWS, M240B, or now the L86A2 with HB and stubby grip.
Snipers are the M40A2 or GOL with ACOG, straight pull, and suppressor.
Never used DMRs and rarely used shotguns.

Woof, gonna take a couple sessions to unlock that. I noticed that thing killing me a bunch, too.
Guess I'll focus on that since I unlocked the RPK-12. Can't find any Oman/Second Assault servers for the M60. :/

I'm kind of bummed there has never been an Oman only server on PS4, let alone a 400% one like on BF3. That's my favourite map ever and it was all I played. Now it's just a passing phase on a Second Assault server. I always felt like that map is too big with only 800 tickets. By the time I really get something going the game is over already. Is it because people don't dig the sand storm?
Probably because a lot of people don't like the Sandstorm. I'm ambivalent on it, I don't mind that change. But I hate how DICE ruined the Rush variant of the map and so I haven't ever played on Oman outside of maybe... 5 times in BF4. Which is sad as Oman was the BEST THE BEST THE BEST map in BF3
Sharqi a close second.
Don't feel that spotting is much worse post patch like some posted here ("broken"). It's a bit harder but just spam the button longer
It's broken because the detection of clearly obvious people that are 5 feet in front of you won't be spotted like the old system. It should be a wide cone within a visible radius (though I guess this would be broken on higher PC FoV) of the default FoV and then more "ADS" cone like the suppression system change for mid-long range.
No. It's you seeing the new tracers. They're VERY visible now.
Okay, have to observe this. I don't notice stuff like this
Tbh, it looks shitty that way. Since they also seem rather big it's not a real help so far (with 3.4 and 4.0).
Never see anyone talking about carrier assault so i assume the mode is not really good?

This vwnut13 video inspired me to try SRAW but i don't manage to hit a heli. Can't really estimate the distance. In the video it looks like he can see through the black border when he pans around right before the hit. TEACH ME sensei !
On another note: don't know what is more satisfying, hitting a Jet with a Tank longrange, predicting it's flight or hitting/killing a heli with 3+ people in it with a shell.
Well, thanks for saving my time ^_^

Just make a stinger montage
Have you ever seen a high ticket server on the PS4? I've never seen one.

It's easily noticable in Sabotage. All you need to do is go to the enemy paradrop and attempt to smash Q (or whatever on consoles) while not aiming down sight and looking up and seeing soldier's spawning in the air. Before the nerf, you'd at least tag 2-3 of them. Now you can't unless you ADS. It's kinda bullshit.

I think it's more the aircraft carrier and the US team emptying when it comes up.
The sandstorm's fine but I'm guessing the people that waste a jet to get on the crane don't like it.
