I don't understand how to get China Rising maps to come up in team deathmatch? They never appear randomly and server browser doesn't find any that aren't empty.

PS4 version.

From what I've played so far, the China Rising maps are pretty fun (PS3) except for the large one with the big antenna/satelilte (?) in the middle. The only problem is that now we have people lining up to use the bomber plane or whatever it's called and it's annoying as hell.

Last night i noticed my cut cat emblem over my Sniper Rifle. It was awesome.
Hopefully the vehicles get fixed so i can roll on my cute cat Tank.

Sometimes I get the feeling only dumb people fly in choppers. Just now I had 2 dudes on those miniguns and while I was circling they didn't shoot shit while I saw people just running about. Next game I spawned in a attack chopper. Guy went high up the sky, divebombed down while shooting his rockets and just bailed out.

So annoying.

I got exploded by C4 instead of knifed. The guy had a SpongeBob icon so I wasn't even mad. Its great how creative people are both in kills and their icons.

Here's todays Patch Change Log:

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065221500524865/

Dec 17 PS4 Game Update Notes
-Reduced the probability of the “Kill trade” issue (see below for details).
-Fixed a common crash that could occur during round transition.
-Fixed a crash that could happen for players that had lots of friends.
-Fixed a problem where the “end of round” screen was adding up scores several times in the rank bar, resulting in the rank bar showing a higher value or rank than players really had.
-Fix for the game mode specific ribbons being counted twice in the multiplayer progression.
Fix for a graphical glitch that could appear on terrain.
-Fixed an engine audio dropout that could happen when driving IFV’s.
-Fix for a camera glitch that could occur when players were switching weapons while moving in crouched stance.
-Fixed an animation bug for passengers on the China Rising dirt bike to make sure that the character is pointing in the direction where the player is actually aiming.
-Fix for an issue where 4x the damage from a vehicle's minigun would be applied to the chest when a player had the Defense specialization equipped.
-Tweaked the War Tape audio setting to remove distortion.
-Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for “roadkilling” opponents.
-Servers with users playing on them are now by default placed on the top in the Server Browser.
-Servers that friends are playing on have a higher priority in the server list.
-Server Browser is no longer showing empty or full servers by default.
-Servers that are completely empty will be shown only when the “Empty” option is checked in the Server Browser filter.
-Server Browser filter will count a server as full if all “Soldier” slots are occupied, unless the “Free Commander” slot is checked.
-Balancing jet handling across all stealth and attack jet classes.
-Fixed a bug in Defuse mode where defenders could win a round by killing all the attackers without disarming the bomb. If the attackers arm the bomb, the defenders need to disarm it to win, even if they have killed all the attackers.
-Fix for players getting stuck in the revive screen.
-Fix for players getting stuck in the kill camera after being revived. Note that you might see a graphical bug on-screen after being revived when accepting a revive within 1 second. This graphical bug will be removed in the next patch.
-Fix for a Defuse bug where none of the teams would win a round by letting the timer run out.
-Fixed the instance where players suddenly would transition into Spectator Mode while playing the Defuse game mode.
-Fix for the death camera/screen being displayed too early.
-Raised the first-person camera slightly for walking in crouch to more accurately reflect the actual position of the character.
-Lowered IED explosion sound to not bottom out the HDR.
-General stability improvements.

Kill trading issue
We’ve addressed the so-called “Kill trading”. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the time frame when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server. This should reduce the probability of kill trading.

Nice. LOL

It's fucking amazing. The amount and breadth of bugs is magnificient.

That being said, I haven't had a crash in quite a while now. Except for bullshit things like the above, I'm not going to complain too loudly.

Never used a gaming headset before buy recently got a pair of Astro a50s and the sound is taking some getting used to. I also have a 5.1 home theater system, so I have been used to positional sound but the headphones are different to me. Biggest difference is the lack of bass compared to my sound system, but otherwise playing with a headset seems much more personal. The sound just seems more there and I am liking it a lot. Had some great matches last night using them and have was wondering why I haven't tried a headset before. Still trying to get used to hearing footsteps, they are definitely there but with all the other chaos on the battlefield, hard to hear sometimes. At least with the new headset ill be able to get in more later night gaming time without disturbing others. BF4s does have amazing sound like the previous games and I definitely get a new appreciation for it with the headphones on.

Before the patch, I know the in-game browser was very unruly with showing CR servers unless you only had those 4 maps ticked as a filter. I haven't checked in-game if this would still be the case.

Yo guys the patch actually fixed things on my side.

Hit detection is working better than ever. No sync kills, no one hit kills. No freezes loading Conquest matches!!!

Oh and i bit the bullet and used Battlelog on PC to join China Rising maps.
The desert map is hella cool.

PS4 was working great for me. No crashes, lot of fun.

And then my PS4 died. Like, it's not the game, the PS4 itself keeps going to black screen or refusing to identify discs or ....

........!!

The easiest way is to coordinate with a friend to join a low population server. When they join just click on their server under the "Friends Playing and Favorite Servers" tab off to the right of quick match, server browser, and test range.

So i redeemed the code for China Rising last week and I had to download something like 10ko worth of data. I thought the premium only timeframe was over but I learned it wasnt.

Now, when I try to play china rising, it brings me to the "buy it" screen. When I redeem the code again, it says "code redeemed, ready to downlod". When I click on the icon in downloads (which says INSTELLED), it brings me into the game.

HOW THE FUCK DO I PLAY CHINA RISING.

Gaming shouldnt be that complicated.

Be in a PS4 party, be friends on PSN so you're friends on Origin by default. Join their server, if there's room on their team you'll be put in their team, if there isn't you'll be on the opposing team until the next match at which point you'll be put into the same squad. - Only works if both of you have the "group with friends automatically" option enabled in BF4's settings.

EDIT: The only weird thing is that i got knifed from the front... from 5 meters away @___@

This new update on XBone has been a significant improvement for me already.
It feels a lot more stable then before.

Any of you lads playing on the One want a free China Rising code? Still have my preorder code and I have premium.
