Looks like EA finally realized that if they don't fix BF4 people are not going to buy their next game!
Lets see if this update actually delivers...

I also have a strange feeling after this update they are going to go back to their old ways...

The next update for Battlefield 4 is targeted for September, and focuses on core gameplay improvements, Dice revealed this week. Soldier movement in the game is being tweaked so it "closely matches the one in Battlefield 3, but without compromising the visual fidelity." Dice said the changes will make it easier to escape "undesirable firefights." The update will also clean up and "de-clutter" the game's HUD to "only show what is important." This will involve giving players more options to select what they want to see on the screen in battle.

The developer also focused on tuning vehicle and weapon balance and making revives easier to use. For instance, when reviving other players, a sound effect will play when the defribrillator paddles are fully charged. Dice also made improvements to the Rush, Obliteration, Obliteration Competitive, Capture the Flag and Carrier Assault game modes. Remember, those that don't have Battlefield 4 yet can play the game for free for one weekthrough Origin.

like over 9000 lol the game was such a waste of money i regret preordering it :( Should of waited like BF3 and buy it when it was 50% off
 
Everything is wrong with it.

Broken ass piece of junk.
Sloppy Netcode, shitty hitreg, deaths behind cover, attack helicopters underpowered.

I heard that over 1000 different programmers from both dice and EA had added code to the netcode and that is why it is now being referred too by EA as the spaghetti netcode. They need to just rebuild the code from ground up.

I have doubts that BF4 will ever be the game that we wanted it to be.
 
I've spent countless amount of resources for BF3 and BF4...they worked out the first couple weeks but updates kept getting worse and made the game at one point just unplayable. Also as a server owner it made hosting BF games impossible, whenever blaze loses connection the servers dump all players and it would take hours after hours to try to fill the servers back up.

Now if Blaze crashed once in a while it would be understandable, but when it crashes multiple times a day and several times a week then its totally unacceptable! Also you have to pay a premium price to host BF4 servers because EA charges hosts extra to host BF ranked games...
I expect when they charge and arm and a leg per slot that they would offer a better service.
 
Battlefield 2 was by far their best game they released, barely any bugs/issues...that game was truly tested well!
It was the #1 game played when it was first released and there were dozens of competitive leagues for it, this days, I am not even sure if there is one.
