This is great, the headglitch was one of the most annoying exploits in the game

Glgh3683d ago

Yeah. I bet it's going to make it easier for players who actually capture flags and try to win rounds instead of just hiding away and trying to get better k/d ratios.

WizzroSupreme3683d ago

What? Dang, that was the funniest part of Battlefield 4.

venom063683d ago (Edited 3683d ago )

Too bad that headglitching crap still exists in Call of Duty. But then people that play that game enjoy playing the same crap over and over every year no matter what, so they probably don't even care about headglitching

Elit3Nick3683d ago

That's a problem on your end, not the game's, BF4 is praised for running very well on most rigs

Kleptic3682d ago

^haha it is? local rendering performance is one thing (it truly is an amazing looking game on even a mid range PC, and runs fairly well on mid range cpu's considering its scale)...

but networking wise...the game is still trash...and is regardless of a client's internet connection...

just look through all the recent stuff they've been working on in CTE...60hz tick rates, even higher increases to client/server send rates...finally creating an option for servers to use higher bandwidth (the retail game on ALL platforms is still locked at something like 5KB/s upload bandwidth, a major reason for consistent syncing issues and 'packet loss' warnings)...while all these tests in CTE are welcomed, this is honestly stuff that should've been in the game at release...most of which will never come to light on BF4, as its nearly confirmed support for the game will end this coming November...

without those changes...the game has some of the highest 'built in' latency of any multiplayer fps...and that is before you consider the lack of regional locking, and supporting players with 250+ ping...

so, again, 'running well' networking wise has NEVER been something BF4's been praised for...at least by anyone that has followed CTE, and understands how the game networks with other players...15 minutes of pretty much any Battlenonsense video will confirm how far EA went with corner cutting and rushing the game to market...

Dirtnapstor3683d ago

I was playing capture the flag and half the players were invisible! Floating guns everywhere. New invisi-skins or what?!

Majin-vegeta3683d ago

That usually happens after a new patch is released Wait for a few days as a lot of people are still downloading it and it should go back to normal.

Kleptic3682d ago

its been a reoccurring bug since release...some have posted threads on how to do it (on PC at least, and it was actually a bug with BL and picking camo), but they quickly get locked up...

every patch release has something in the notes about 'fixed a bug where selected camo's would reset after each round'...every single one...and its never 'fixed', and each release more evidence of the invisible player model comes back...there is also a version of the bug that makes an invisible gun, but keeps the player model...

I've only played about 5 rounds since the release on Tuesday morning...confirmed the camo still resets...and ran in to at least 2 people that were invisible...both of which were quickly banned...but i'm pretty sure this is something that can happen accidentally, also...

Skate-AK3683d ago

Played Conquest Large for about 3 hours last night and didn't run into any issue. Is game plays much better than it use to.

Ripsta7th3683d ago

Same here
Team death match and other smaller modes are dead tho
But conquest is still smooth

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.

-Foxtrot1186d ago

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

gamesftw2501185d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1185d ago

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

PapaBop1185d 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.

Inverno1185d 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

XiNatsuDragnel1186d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1185d ago

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

Pudge1028881185d ago (Edited 1185d 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

pr33k331185d 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.

Pudge1028881185d 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_D3TH1185d 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.
