New Battlefield 4 Game Update Introduces Competitive Obliteration and Much More, Patch Notes

MP1st - Today, all versions of Battlefield 4 were updated, except for the Xbox One version which is expected to receive a patch tomorrow, July 9.

We’ve rounded up all the notes into one change log with specific platform tweaks highlighted in corresponding colors. But, for the most part, the update is relatively similar across all platforms. Players will find a new competitive Obliteration game mode, increased aim-down-sight customization options, and a ton of other fixes and improvements.

Weak patch, what are they doing? Let me know when its worth the money I wasted on it.

liquidhalos3569d ago

It's great fun now, if you haven't tried it recently, I highly recommend it

OmegaShen3568d ago

No its not, crash six times on my friend and froze up me two times.

The game remains trash.

Ii respect your opinion, though i still find it great fun and so do many other people, I enjoy the scale, tactics in a good squad, both vehicle and infantry gameplay and the funny quirky moments it's brings. Sometimes you just need to enjoy fun things for what they are. I appreciate it's not for everyone but for those of us who play it regularly, it's great.

It might be worth noting that I waited a few months after release before buying it so I missed all the really bad bugs. I'm sure that helped in my overall enjoyment of bf4.

liquidhalos3568d ago

That's weird, I haven't had a single freeze or crash in weeks now, and none of the people I play with have dropped out either. What version do you have? Mines PS4

sovietsoldier3568d ago

i agree total weak patch. mantling over objects still broken, major net code issues linger,major balance issues,major map exploits, tons of things still need fixing not to mention all the things broke from patch like knifes,camos locked weak patch very weak but hey when you trying to milk a franchise who has time to worry about a failing product like bf4 when you can shovel out another piece of shit and call it hardline.

Mike_D823569d ago

Wow, still so much wrong with his game. How about fixing weapon pickups and loadouts? I still can't pick up weapons and have to change my loadouts every time. Golf clap is right.

ScottyHoss3568d ago

Can't help you with loadouts (honestly never heard of your problem), but the trick to picking up in map weapons is to hold reload first, then try it, works every time for me :)

Squeaky_door3568d ago

They've seemingly given up on the fact that sound doesn't work for the first minute while in vehicles. Also, a "AAA" release has a "squad join beta"....really

BlingBlaine3568d ago

Squad join beta launches your geoup into some 3rd world country, then a blue screen crash, yup its better all right.

BetaFail=FUBAR

It becomes easier to forgive BF4's sins if you know a thing or two about how games work.

Would you rather play in a vehicle with no sound for 30 seconds or would you rather spend that other 30 seconds behind the loading screen?

Mikeyy3568d ago

I personally haven't had any issues with BF4 besides the single player saves getting deleted, and that was fixed with the network tickrate patch.

It sucks people are still running into issues, I have a friend who's knife keeps coming out after he shoots and it stays out. He shoots 1 round then it switches to knife and he has to press triangle to get his weapon back out. Anybody know anything about this issue? I've never witnessed it personally

liquidhalos3568d ago

It's strange how some people have problems and others never do. I personally haven't had any issues since the big patch a few weeks back. I'm loving battlefield again.

frostypants3568d ago

Sounds more like his controller is jacked up to me.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot749d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250748d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface748d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop748d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno748d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel749d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps748d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33748d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888748d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH748d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
