DICE staff member answers questions about BF4 balancing

Earlier this week, Battlefield 4 players were able to send in questions about game balancing. Answers to the questions were to be provided by lead core gameplay designer Alan Kertz, and now he’s answered some of the many questions that were sent in.

-Fix the lag and that damn 1 shot headglitch
-Decrease the damn wobble when you fire the G36C along with the side to side recoil.
-Defuse-bomb carrier can now be seen by everyone.
-aim assist-tone it way down its basically a aim bot
-defensive perk body armor should be the last one earned
.

[Majin-vegeta]

Forgot to add.Increase the ROF of the G36C back to 750.

Put DMR's back into the Recon class. I don't mind DMR's but they have gotten way outta hand.

[Z_-_D_-_3]

Yeah, PDW's should be the universal weapon. SKS with any class is pure domination.

[jukins]

Seriously or nerf them. In hardcore mode that's all ppl use is dmr. On the plus side since they're so op usually dmr users aren't concerned with objectives only kills so they're usually on the losing team despite having most kills.

@jukins when dice nerfs something it becomes useless.Before it was underpowered and now DMRs behave the way it should,if anything
lower the rate of fire on each gun a little bit.

i get one shot headshot glitch about 3 or 4 times a game, it pisses me off to no end, especcially since i am most of the tims shooting first with what seems like zero suppresion to the other guy. and F***ing snipers never get the suppression effect it seems like. could lay down 100 rds out of the saw and get four or five hit markers only to take a bullet right to the face.

then about .5% of the time bf4 plays so well that it hooks me in all over again

"-Fix the lag and that damn 1 shot headglitch .."

what if it is ok to kill with 1 head shot?

what about hardcore.. is there also 1 shot head shot "glitch"?

I dont understand why would someone need to go back to arcade and shoot 2 or more bullets into head... I usually skip these kind of games...

[nohopeinc]

The amount of times I am killed by head shots is staggering. I only play HC and I agree with you every head shot regardless of mode should be a 1HK. But I feel as though something fishy is going on with it ATM because the number of deaths from head shots is just insane.

- Fix 0 health bug
- Either decrease the damage on the anti-air for soldiers(launchers) or drastically increase their reload time
- I think tank main weapon damage should be increased against infantry. Tired of putting a shell at a guy's feet just for him to jump away.

Other than that, I'm very happy with the game.

[ChipChipperson]

I've been getting a lot of this lately after the patch. Now I have to put entire magazines into people, I see them flinching and blood spraying out of them, but they turn around and kill me with one or two shots. Still getting the 0 Health thing too.

[Matt666]

Make DMR's into fully semi-auto snipers and decrease the power and range of the srr-61 that is well over powered even at extreme ranges

[Finch]

Fix the snipers. Getting old seeing snipers act like assault guy's.

[weirdo]

despite the bugs, i'm loving bf4. seems quite stable of late

They need to just scrap this pos. You know damn well there just itching to announce bf5 but are to scared of instant backlash. I will NEVER buy a bf game right away again. They burned me out of 120 bucks for a broken garbage game that is STILL corrupting my single player save files.... ea better get worst company award again, they worked there ass off for it.

[MajorGecko]

im still seeing enemies with 0% health alive and running around after i light them up, after that i shut off my xbox will trade in battlefield 4 for titanfall, I am starting to think EA sabotaged battlefield to help Titan Fall get more popular.

[spaceg0st]

Over 1200 forum pages full of questions, and he answers the most generic and uninteresting ones. Thanks I guess dice ? Promotion fulfilled... Meh

[boeso]

Pick up the game and place it in the nearest refuse area.

[2pacalypsenow]

Make snipers 1 shot kill ( when using long range scopes)
Tone down that bot that is almost indestructible and kills you in 3 zaps

[dcj0524]

No no no. After 200m-300m+ make it one shot on arm,chest and head. In CQ only on chest. Also they should make the tanks back 3 shots with any RPG. 4 is retarded. And fix that damn 0HP glitch.

[2pacalypsenow]

thats what i meant long range scopes

[csreynolds]

200+ pages of questions from the disgruntled community about netcode, fixes, crashes, lack of features... and he answers seven - all of which make no reference to ANY of the game's issues. Bravo DICE, you trolls.
