They seem to have been messing around with the AS VAL sights, though it doesn't show up in Battlelog. The reflex is gone, replaced with the kobra, which was supposed to come from a battlepack. There's also now a slot for the suppressor, which...shows you that it has one. Dunno. This is not important at all, just a heads up that if you had the reflex equipped, you'll have to switch before you spawn.

Battlefield 4 |OT2| Is it fixed yet?
- Thread starter Overdoziz
- Start date
Since the X in those designations usually stands for experimental, I'm assuming it's because that's what they think it would be called by official military designation similar to how some games called the XM8 just the M8 as if it was in full military service.
I just want the lag to go away. Is that so much to ask for?
Probobly same as the Phantom Prospect one, the questionmark gets revealed after "hacking" the battlelog.

so quicksearch now lets you pick what map pack you want to search on. No longer are you stuck with only the original maps when searching; it now lets you quick search with the new map packs, too. Finally.
-Improved the track vehicles wheel friction so vehicles dont get stuck at relatively minor hills
-Improved repair rates for vehicles with different base healths
-Improved boat physics and handling, including implementation of a system that lets players push stuck boats back in the water
Interesting that a few of these things are not on PC yet.

That seems incredibly silly.
It's been doing that for at least a few weeks.

On the PS4 today was the first time it showed up, after the latest patch. I'm not a premium member but I do have the China Rising maps and they never came up on quick search. Now, I have the option of selecting China Rising instead of it quick matching me with the pack-in maps.

Hope the new patch is worth it, 1,3GB. Sigh
Maybe now the Jetskis won't control awful and the Attack Boat won't get beached (so now it'll completely break maps even more)
! :O! :O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's "flavor" and tongue-in-cheek. Just roll with it.

Fair enough. If it's fun for somebody, that's good enough for me.
Eh, it's matching Call of Duty's "ghost" system. I find it cheesy-funny. *shrug*
I'm glad they added the "in a round" now next DLC there's no reason that shouldn't be in to stop people from being confused.
Please, DICE just drop that shit.

gotta love how they address everything but the rubberbanding..
Saw the Naval Strike maps got added to the server browser (PS4) with the latest update, even though the DLC won't be out until the end of the month. Same thing happened with China Rising and Second Assault before they were actually released.
Naval Strike would be the first truly new DLC since last year, since XBone had Second Assault when it launched.
DICE wasn't kidding when they said NS would be out in the spring.
I suppose that probably means the last two DLC expansions, Dragon's Teeth and Final Stand will still be out this summer, as originally scheduled

You're right. I'm all for mad ideas usually but the fact that it's Premium-only was the part I really didn't like. The people in that thread were able to get to the thing and enter a code but it would say 'ACCESS DENIED', I mean why deny a cool hidden thing like that to your non-Premium players? :/ Not as though it's an amazing extra that's worth getting Premium for, really, so why make it exclusive?

On reddit one of the developers claims the improvements were included, just not in the patch notes.

Probably falls under "stability improvements." This means rubberbanding will be even worse now, considering Dice's letter yesterday said they already made a lot of fixes for rubberbanding. Could have fooled me.

Also they've included a system performance test in the options. Can't wait to see my pong and packet loss in game.

I know this is asking for a lot but... do you think if they do finally fix the netcode, that they should put up a sale for the game to bring people back? This includes Premium too.
Patches always have 'hidden' goodies.
Maybe the 'cant freelok til you change the camera or vehicle position' is among them. :3
But man, i cant complain: RED PIMPLES NO MOAR!
Also why no DICE devs in GAF?

YEAH. they also have been 'investigating' it since december according to their other blog that was supposed to update us. So i'm not feeling very encouraged right now.
Okay, now this I'm excited about. It sounds so awesome! I can definetly see the potential
Let's hope it isn't somehow screwed up...

anybody experiencing anything weird?
I read on the battlelog forums that people are now seeing the wrong person on the kill cam after they die.

People claiming v40s got nerfed in damage and radius. Such tears. Meanwhile sopposedky the impact got buffed because, you know, DICE
Dogtag and Camo aren't enough for you, dirtpoor?

Because they don't like you, Fersis. Didn't you take the hint when they didn't hire you?
Seriously? Ugh. Another 18 levels to go then... *sigh*

Battlelog specific but SWEET: You can now show which division you're best in on your profile page at the top.
To avoid paying for gun licenses.

...The Battlelog update we've all been waiting for is live.
- Assignment criteria that needs to be obtained in-a-round now show the completion counter and is marked with "In a round"
Nice.
DICE
Beretta's the only one that wants that? Yeah? Since the FN Five-seveN, P90, and F2000 are all named their real counter-part. Same for the GOL Sniper Magnum (IIRC) and others from other gun manufacturers.
Yeah this just happened to me. It pointed out my teammate as the guy who killed me. What really confused me was the teammate revived me, I thought Dice stealth patched in the ability to revive enemies

it was there since Second Assault.
All the Galil ACE rifles have "Galil" removed from the name to get around the licensing as well.
Ah, right. Forgot about the ACE. Though weirdly the Five-seveN isn't stylized like that and is "FN-57" in Battlelog/in-game. Probably to avoid text-string issues or something.

didn't they also do that with the 'ACW-R' and 'PDW-R' since BF3?
Yeah, the killcam does go screwy once in a while. In my experience it wasn't showing anyone at all sometimes.
Had some smooth conquest games on Lancang and Hainan (apart from a brief hiccup during the hotel collapse) though. Very strange. It almost seemed as if the game was working. Of course, something apparently went sideways with oblit just to balance things out.
Have to admit, reading these notes and reactions is fun. I liked this exchange over on reddit:
Pretty much,
Yeah (added a W between D and R to get around Magpul's licensing?)
(Same for the AC. Throw an W in between the C and R to get around licensing.)

Finally got back into this, played some Metro.
Yup I till hate Metro, far prefer Operation Locker, similar style of map, but lot more variety and way to approach the fights.

I dont have premium and only have China Rising from buying the game at launch. The option never appeared for me until this morning ::shrugs::

I'd be optimistic, but considering the servers got a fresh restart this morning, let's see how they perform by the end fof the week,.

I'd give them more shit for this, but keeping track of asymmetrical updates for 5 systems must be a pain, Anyway, it's probably true given the rumors of the V40 nerf.
Because they don't like you, Fersis. Didn't you take the hint when they didn't hire you?
