Battlefield 4 Update In September - Its the Netcode

Yet another Battlefield 4 update is coming quickly. Just announced by DICE the next update promises many general improvements. But the most intriguing of the updates is the Netcode improvements.

Did you know that the first netcode was designed to be perfect? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. EA wouldn't allow the program. Entire crops of players were lost.

Some believed DICE lacked the programming language to describe the perfect netcode. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery, so they continue throwing money at companies that abuse them. ;)

I don't think too much about the netcode since I do fine when playing, I do get killed behind solid cover sometimes and I do hear lots of people complaining about 'lag' but some of them have crazy smoothing settings etc so who knows, I just hope it gets better.

HaydenJameSmith3541d ago

Well I assume your talking bout for PC, I feel like it is more genuine on console, when people complain, cause we all have fixed hardware... so there is no doubt that there is problems. I suffer from Lagg, rubber banding, getting kill'd round corners and by guys with 0 health, not all the time ofc but although I must admit it has gotten a lot better since launch but I am looking forward to this update for not just the netcode but all the balancing changes that come with it cause even when the game is working its far to unbalanced when compared to BF3 in my opinion...

AgentSmithPS43540d ago

Yeah I hate the 0 health crap, it's annoying and makes them look even more sloppy. I get a lot of 1-4% too :(.

konnerbllb3541d ago

10 tickrate isn't perfect, neither is 30 for that matter. Your claims are unfounded.

AgentSmithPS43540d ago

It wasn't a claim it was a joke of sorts, just like the game.

lag and aim assist=noob central

Majin-vegeta3541d ago (Edited 3541d ago )

They will nerf aim assist on consoles towards BF3 level and are thinking of putting an option where server admins can disable it for their servers.

Also If you got time I recommend reading through this it's gives a lot of help on what they're gonna be doing to BF4.

"They will nerf aim assist on consoles"

link please

Majin-vegeta3541d ago (Edited 3541d ago )

@Ivan Check the link I put above.I' member reading it in there somewhere.

@Ivan found it for ya. http://awesomescreenshot.co...

SINISTERGENESIS3541d ago

But what I do wonder is how many of the so called hardcore crowd will actually use this option lol... If anyone that does own a server that'll implement this option, please shoot me a server name so I may proceed to kick some virtual ass with you when they update it. It would be super duper ;)

BTW thanks for the link Vegeta

Bad Company 2 is still where it's at.

Vantage3541d ago

Bad Company 2 is one of the best shooters ever released.

ZombieDust3540d ago (Edited 3540d ago )

I am sick of these remasters of games that game out in the last year or two. Games like BC2 are the ones that need a remaster.

Pillsbury13541d ago

This is the reason I will never buy another battlefield game at launch. I am going to wait and ensure that it's playable.

user816733541d ago

next time i will wait one year to buy battlefield and let them sort it out.

metalmatters3541d ago

maybe thats the reason the servers continue being busy, cause people are still playing or buying the game. You know the game is good and it would be worse if the game was non existent at all, I know I would miss it

GiggMan3540d ago

I took everyone's advice and waited. I just bought it last week and had a little trouble getting into it but now it seems OK. Can't wait for this update.

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.

-Foxtrot752d ago

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

gamesftw250752d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface751d ago

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

PapaBop752d 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.

Inverno751d 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

XiNatsuDragnel752d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps752d ago

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

Pudge102888752d ago (Edited 752d 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

pr33k33752d 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.

Pudge102888752d 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_D3TH751d 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.
