Overview

Many elements from Battlefield 3 as well as other past installments return, such as the same four class system, a similar heads-up display, kill cams, as well as increased destruction. Players can now use dual-scoped weapons, including weapons with different firing modes (e.g. single shots, automatic fire). Players now have more survival capabilities, such as countering melee attacks from the front while standing or crouching, shooting with their sidearm while swimming, and diving underwater to avoid enemy detection.

Single Player

Singleplayer
Overview
The singleplayer campaign features many elements from past installments, taking place in numerous locations across the world. Levels are now built in sandbox-style environments, allowing players more freedom to complete objectives. Players can now spot enemy targets to notify the AI of Tombstone squad. The singleplayer also features three separate endings based on the players choice in the final mission.

The singleplayer features assignments that require specific actions and unlock weapons for use in multiplayer upon completion. Collectible Weapons return along with the introduction of Collectible Dog Tags which can be used in multiplayer. Weapon crates are found throughout all levels, allowing players to obtain ammo and switch weapons. While crates hold default weapons, collectible weapons may be used whenever they are acquired and level specific weapons may be used once a specific mission assignment has been completed by obtaining enough points in a level.

Setting
The singleplayer campaign is set in the year 2020, six years after the events of the previous game. While the War of 2014 has ended, tensions between the United States and Russia are at an all-time high. Meanwhile, Admiral Chang, the main antagonist, looks to overthrow the Chinese government by blaming the United States for the assassination of Jin Ji, the country's future leader and voice of peace. If successful, China would gain Russia's full support, resulting in all-out war with the United States.

The player controls Sgt. Daniel Recker, a member of a United States special operations squad call-signed Tombstone. His squadmates include: squad leader SSgt. William Dunn, second-in-command SSgt. Kimble Graves, and field medic Sgt. Clayton Pakowski. Tombstone is joined by CIA operative Laszlo Kovic, and Chinese Secret Service agent Huang Shuyi. They are tasked with stopping Chang and preventing another great war.

Plot
"You'll back me up, right?"

This section contains spoilers for Battlefield 4.

Tombstone was tasked with retrieving vital information in Baku, Azerbaijan. Pursued by Russian Special Forces, the squad engaged in numerous firefights as they proceeded toward the extraction point at the top skyscraper under construction. The building, after sustaining massive amounts of damage from Russian forces, collapsed as Tombstone reached the extraction point. The event resulted in the helicopter's destruction as well as the amputation of Dunn's leg due to it being trapped under rubble.

Baku Crash
Stranded, Tombstone commandeered a civilian vehicle and attempted to escape with an enemy helicopter in pursuit. Recker was then tasked with destroying the chopper with a grenade launcher. While successful, the squad's vehicle went off road and plunged into the sea. With the vehicle sinking, Dunn, who was not only trapped between seats but also critically wounded, handed Recker his revolver and ordered he shoot out the windshield so the rest of the squad could make their escape. Much to the dismay of Pac and Irish, Recker reluctantly shoots the window, allowing them to escape but resulting in Dunn's death by drowning.

The Intel recovered tells that Admiral Chang is planning a military coup d'tat in China which would allow him to gain full Russian support if successful. Unfortunately, Captain Garrison's superior, Oracle, reveals that the United States had already known this information and that the purpose of Tombstones mission was to reassure them of it, meaning that Dunn had died for information that they already knew.

Shanghai Briefing
Tombstone returns to the USS Valkyrie where Garrison informs them of the assassination of Chinese presidential candidate, Jin Ji; and how Chang convinced the Chinese that the United States was responsible. He then sends Tombstone on a covert mission to Shanghai to rescue three VIPs: CIA Agent Kovic, Hannah, and Hannah's husband. Full filling Dunn's last wish, Recker is made squad leader of Tombstone.

Tombstone manages to extract the three via helicopter and then proceeds to take a tourist boat back to the Valkyrie. Much to their surprise, however, an electromagnetic pulse goes off, frying all electronic equipment in the area, including the boat. Realizing that other refugees are stranded on boats around them, Irish helps to lead them to the Valkyrie.

SCS Titan
Once aboard, Captain Garrison sets a course for the USS Titan which will be able to house the refugees. Upon locating the Titan, it is found to be heavily damaged by Chang's Chinese military. Garrison thereby orders Tombstone, along with Kovic as acting squad leader, to scour the wreckage of the Titan for survivors and Intel before it sinks.

The squad recovers a hard drive with data telling of what happened before the Titan was attacked only to be forced to engage with Chinese soldiers that had boarded the ship. Having sustained too much damage, the Titan finally buckles under its own weight and splits in two forcing Tombstone to abandon ship. Having hijacked an assault boat, the squad makes its way back to the Valkyrie only to find it under siege by Chinese forces.

Kovic is critically injured as the squad attempts to repel Chinese forces, resulting in Recker being put back in charge of Tombstone before he dies. Tombstone then clears the bridge and rescues Garrison and Hannah's husband.

Garrison debriefs the squad on the incoming assault on the Chinese-controlled Singapore airfield to destroy Chinese air superiority while their air forces are grounded by a storm. Hannah volunteers to join Tombstone, much to Irish's chagrin. They successfully assault the beach and lead an advance towards the airfield, with the help of US Marine tanks, losing most of their forces in the process. While crossing a bridge to the airfield, Recker becomes pinned down by a car blown by the strong winds and tries to break free with the help of Tombstone, to no avail. A large freighter crashes into the bridge, throwing Tombstone into the sea below.

Fortunately, they survive and make their way to the airfield via a sewer. After Pac fires the signal flare, Tombstone attempts to evacuate the area using an enemy vehicle, but is hit by friendly fire, seemingly killing Pac and rendering Recker and Irish unconscious. Hannah betrays the squad, bringing Chinese soldiers to capture Tombstone. Recker and Irish are interrogated in a prison by Admiral Chang and Bohai over the purpose of their mission in Shanghai. They are then thrown into prison cells soon after.

BF4 Dima
Recker is later awoken by Dimitri Mayakovsky, a Russian prisoner suffering from radiation poisoning as a result of the nuclear explosion in Paris six years prior. The two break out of their cell and release the other prisoners, including Irish, starting a mass riot. With the prison guard overrun, the Chinese military arrive and launch an assault.

Recker and Irish hold them off long enough for Dima to open the prison gates, only to be caught by Hannah and other soldiers. Hannah shoots the soldiers holding Recker, Irish and Dima at gunpoint; she explains that she had been tasked to protect Jin Ji, who had been posing as her husband. The group fights their way through the Kunlun Mountains to a cable car, which goes down the mountain. The tram is shot down by an enemy helicopter, resulting in Dima's death.

Tash Dam
Forced to continue on foot for two days, Tombstone makes their way down the mountain, forced to hunt for food to survive. They find a jeep and drive to Tashgar, finding it under siege by both Chinese and Russian forces. They eventually find Major Greenland, who commands the remainder of US ground forces in Tashgar. She states that the mobile anti-air control by the Russians is putting them at a disadvantage.

Tombstone volunteers to demolish the Tashgar Dam to flood the area and destroy the Chinese-Russian forces in exchange for a ride back to the Valkyrie. They are successful in their task and are sent to Suez Canal to await extraction back to the Valkyrie.

They are picked up by a C-130 using the Fulton surface-to-air recovery system, and are then paradropped onto the Valkyrie, which is sailing blindly into Admiral Chang's forces. Tombstone assists in clearing the deck of boarding Chinese forces and find Garrison, who is holed up with Jin Ji, other survivors, and Pac (who had survived Singapore by "crawling through a thousand yards of **** with a hole in his stomach").

Screenshot 28
When Chinese forces finally reach the door to the medical bay, Jin Ji convinces Garrison to let him show his face to the soldiers, as they had been fighting under the illusion that Jin Ji had been killed. Recker opens the door and is knocked down, but Jin Ji calms the tension between the three forces showing his face to them, ultimately signifying an alliance and friendship between the United States, Russia, and China. The Chinese soldiers celebrate the news of their leaders return and call off the attack and inform the Russians and convince them to change sides in the war.

However, upon hearing this news, Chang barrages the Valkyrie with his warship, hoping to "bury the truth" with it. With no ordinance to strike back, Recker, Irish and Hannah once again volunteer to manually destroy it with explosives. Driving a boat to the warship's blind spot, the trio set the remote charges and use grappling guns to bring them to safety before detonating the explosives.

Unfortunately, the remote detonation fails, requiring manual replacement of the charges. Hannah volunteers to set a new charge; but Irish stops her, volunteering to do it himself, as China would need her. Recker is forced to either do nothing as Chang's warship obliterates the Valkyrie, thus killing Pac, Garrison and Jin Ji; or to send either Hannah or Irish back down to set the explosives. As soon as the detonator lights green, Recker detonates the charges, destroying Chang's ship but killing whoever planted the explosive.

BF4 Ending
A Marine rescue helicopter then picks up Recker and his remaining teammate, reporting to Garrison that one member could not be found. During the credits, the player hears a new dialogue between Irish and Hannah, discussing their pasts, and how they have to keep moving forward with "no **** regrets", implying that the teammate that went down may have survived.

Weapons

L85A2
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The L85A2 has major changes compared to the earlier versions. Among the most notable is the raised rate of fire. While the Battlefield 3 variant has a slower rate of fire and low recoil, the Battlefield 4 variant has a higher rate of fire and a predictable vertical muzzle climb. Another notable change is its ability to mount a Grenade Launcher. At close range, the L85A2 has many advantages. Its relatively high rate of fire and its tighter hipfire makes it effective in close quarter battles. At longer ranges, the L85 does suffer from a slightly strong muzzle climb that can easily be remedied by attaching stability increasing attachments, primarily the Muzzle Brake and the Angled Grip or Folding Grip. It is a versatile assault rifle for both long ranges and close quarter battles.

L96A1
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The L96A1 is introduced in Battlefield 4: China Rising. It is unlocked by completing the Need Only One assignment. Compared to other bolt-action sniper rifles, it has an average damage profile and rate of fire, but has slightly higher bullet velocity. While it is beaten out at close range by faster-firing sniper rifles such as the M40A5 and Scout Elite, and lacks the extreme range of the M98B and SRR-61, its stats are very well balanced for medium range, making it a good overall choice for most situations.It comes with a Rifle scope (8) equipped by default.

MP7
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The MP7 is a weapon featured in the Battlefield 4: China Rising expansion. It is unlocked upon the completion of the Make A Dent assignment. It features a built in Folding Grip, and as such, cannot mount any other underbarrel attachments.

MTAR-21
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The MTAR-21 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 4: China Rising and is available to all classes. It and the expansion's other weapons were released early for PC players as apart of the platforms first client patch. It is unlocked for console players upon the completion of the Multi Talent assignment. Compared to the Battlefield 3 variant, the MTAR-21 is a very versatile carbine. It has a high rate of fire of 900 RPM and controllable recoil. Even at a distance, one can kill effectively with no barrel attachments. In close quarters combat, the MTAR-21 is devastating. Thanks to its high rate of fire, the highest among the carbine class, and tight hipfire (because of its bullpup nature), the MTAR-21 kills extremely quickly. Its primary downside is its long reload time. Coupled with a quick magazine drain, reloads will be long and frequent. In the end, it is a solid all-class weapon that could turn any role into both a close range killer and an effective mid-long range support weapon.

RPK-74M
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The RPK-74M is a weapon featured in Battlefield 4: China Rising and is issued to the support class. It and the expansion's other weapons were released early for PC players as apart of the platforms first client patch. The RPK-74M retains wooden furniture as seen in earlier Battlefield games. It has a low rate of fire which makes recoil low and accuracy high over a long period of shooting. The muzzle climb is more vertical, but settles quickly close to the point where the player aims making it a useful machine gun at range. However, the RPK-74M suffers at close range where its low rate of fire and moderate damage is outclassed by similar machine guns, namely the QBB-95 which has a slightly higher rate of fire and a tighter hipfire.

Gadgets

UCAV
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The good ole' UCAV. the UCAV is a player controlled missile that does lots of damage, similar to the TV guided missile. It is for the support load out, similar to the mortar too. The player sets it down on the ground goes on his little pad thing and launches it. Once launched it can be controlled in a different manner than other things would. This weapon or gadget can go up to 400 meters in range, every 10 seconds it travels about 40 meters. When it is out of the players range it takes quite a little time to get another one, about 20 seconds to refill on it. It is one of the harder gadgets to achieve unless you are amazing in jets.

SUAV
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The SUAV is a fun little machine to control. It is similar to the hunter killer drone in Black Ops 2 but just doesnt blow up or is a machine controlled thing, it is controlled by the player. This gadget is mainly used for scouting around the area, spotting things, and if you really wanna have fun try to hit people with it. It is for the Recon load out and only has 1 to use every life, however if there is a ammo kit is takes about 5-10 seconds to get another one. It travel 20 meters per second which is an insanely fast speed. These gadgets are fun to use and just all around cool.

Vehicles

Dirtbike
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The developers have brought back the fan favorite Dirt Bike from Battlefield 3 into Battlefield 4! This vehicle is one of the fastest getaway vehicles in the game. It has a 95 km speed and has perfect maneuvering with the vehicle. This vehicle can easily be killed with one rocket and has no weapons attached to it, the second seat is the person who gets to use his weapons but there his personal weapons. You are perfectly seen and exposed to gun fire leaving you easy to get shot up and die quickly. This bike also has a boost on it. When players use the boost you will see a massive increase in speed making it easier to get out of there.

Bomber
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The bomber is a slow moving air craft vehicle used to do bomb runs. It has a main weapon and a secondary weapon. The main weapon is a User Targeted JDAM bomb, it launches 4 bullets but they can all be spread out through out the time in the vehicle. It takes around 13 seconds to reload the weapon and fire again. The secondary weapon is a cruise missile. The cruise missile is a bomb that when it instantly hits the ground a massive explosion will occur and can wipe out a whole battle between a team. It is an easy target to see in the sky and but it takes quite a bit of hits with missiles to actually destroy this vehicle. If you are getting locked on by multiple things the player has 30 IR Flares to use and it takes a little to get through them all. This vehicle isn't really for small maps it is mostly for large huge maps so you can destroy things and kill more people.

General Information

Battlefield 4: Second Assault is the second expansion pack for Battlefield 4, featuring four redesigned variants of popular multiplayer maps from Battlefield 3.

Features

Other

Capture the Flag

The objective of the game is to capture the opposing team's flag while defending one's own. This can be done by getting in to where the flag is located in the enemy base, taking it, and returning it to the player's base alive. This task is usually much easier said than done, as the opposing team's base is usually heavily defended and players are alerted once a flag is taken from its base, causing the team whose flag was stolen to frantically try to get it back at any cost. Unlike Conquest, Capture the Flag has infinite tickets for each team, but it has a time limit of 15 minutes (or more depending on the server settings), allowing players to score points by capturing flags within that time period. Flags can be held while on any vehicle as well, regardless if it is piloted on land, sea or air. It also does not matter whether the flag-carrier is on the driver or passenger seat of the vehicle as well. This allows for much faster delivering of flags to other bases due to the large nature of the maps playable in the game mode.

Maps

Caspian Border
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Caspian Border returns in Battlefield 4 as one of four maps featured in the Second Assault expansion pack and was first seen in the Battlefield 4: Premium Trailer. The map has been significantly changed since Battlefield 3, but retains the same layout and general features.

Gulf of Oman
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Gulf of Oman is a map featured in the Second Assault expansion. One significant Levolution event on this map takes the form of a massive dust storm sweeping through the map. The dust storm rolls in during the middle of the match, and greatly reduces visibility, making many air vehicles such as jets and helicopters, as well as other long-range weapons such as sniper rifles, less effective to use. Thermal Optics can counter the loss of visibility. Another noteworthy Levolution item is the ability to collapse the crane in the construction site.

Operation Firestorm
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Operation Firestorm is a map featured in the Battlefield 4: Second Assault expansion pack. The map now features many open fires with numerous explosive objects laid around the map that can trigger more fires, such as oil spills that can be lit by explosives. Wreckage and debris from previous battles can be seen around the map as well.

Operation Metro
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Operation Metro is a map featured in the Battlefield 4: Second Assault expansion pack. Brief glimpses of the map's subway were seen in the Battlefield 4: Premium Trailer. Set shortly after both the original operation in Battlefield 3's multiplayer and the nuke that was detonated in the single player campaign, the city is trying to rebuild when the war returns to the original park, metro tunnels, and Parisian streets where combat ensued during the beginning of the war. The tunnels are now slightly flooded and there are many wooden poles to hold up sections of the ceilings which could be destroyed. The elevators next to objective B are usable and could be quite a good way to ambush soldiers defending B. There are also a few corridors where the player can switch the lights on or off. Other than this, the map remains unchanged from the Battlefield 3 version.

Weapons

F2000
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The F2000 is in almost every battlefield. In battlefield 4 most players were sadden not to see it appear in this one until now. The fire rate is faster than most assault rifles in the game, giving you a little advantage over some other players. It has similar damage and spreads like most other assault rifles in the game. It holds a 30 round capacity and has 4 mags with it. It takes about 5 seconds to reload the weapon so get in cover! It is only for the Assault load out unfortunately, but it is still very good. I would recommend this weapon to most people if there trying to get there KD or score per minute up

AS Val
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The AS-Val is an outstanding weapon overall in my opinion. It has a good fire rate, spreads good, does a decent amount of damage, good range, and an OK ammo capacity. This is a compact assault rifle and its only for the Engineer load out. The maximum range of this weapon is 200 meters giving it good range but you have to fire in bursts. I wouldnt recommend this weapon for long range because of the fire rate, it is extremely fast. It kicks up a decent amount and I would just say use it for close range. It holds 24 rounds in the weapon so when you kill one you might want to reload afterwards. I say this weapon is great, is amazing everywhere use it!

M60E4
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The M60 is a great light machine gun to use. It is only for the Support load out but its alright. This weapon is slow at firing but has great range and damage. It also takes for ever to reload, takes around 10 seconds to reload. But it also can hold up to 100-200 rounds in one mag. The range can go really far and has about the same damage as it would close up. When your close up and your having a close quarter combat fight you are most likely to win because of how strong this weapon is. I would say it is one of the better light machine guns in the game to use but not as good as other ones.

DAO-12
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The DAO-12 when you first unlock it you will notice that it looks like the striker from Mw2, well it pretty much is the same thing as that. It was in Battlefield 3 if I remember correctly and it was really good it is just like that in this game. It spreads like no other and can kill your enemies in 1-2 shots depending on how close you are. It has 36 rounds in all and is strong like no other. This is not a long range weapon, I would use it for close range maps only. It is much stronger than the other shotguns and I would recommend it to some people.

GOL Magnum
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The GOL Magnum is now the best sniper in the game. It is for the Recon load out and it is way better than all the snipers currently in the game. It has an amazing range and not so big of a drop. It holds 5 rounds in it and all the bullets do the same amount of damage. When in a closer range it takes about 1 shot to kill some one, but when 200 meters away maybe one to 2 shots to kill some one. It is a bolt action which it also makes it stronger than most other ones. I would DEFINITELY recommend this to most people best sniper in the game.

Vehicles

Desert Patrol Vehicle
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The Desert Patrol Vehicle is a perfect name for this vehicle. It is a light and fast vehicle to travel and get away. It has an attached grenade launcher to it but it cant make a 360 turn, it can only make about a 180 turn. Every one in the vehicle is exposed and can easily be shot and killed. It takes around 2-3 hit to kill this with a rocket launcher but yet you may die fast cause of no cover. There is a nice maneuver to this vehicle, fast and being able to turn good is always great. There is a little delay in between when trying to back up from anything. This vehicle you can easily kill people but you can also easily die.

Skid Loader
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Probably the Best vehicle in Battlefield ever to be made haha. It was in Battlefield 3 and they have brought it back to Battlefield 4 in this expansion pack. There is up to 3 seats in which this vehicle can hold, One in front, one in the back, and one driving you around. It only appears in Conquest I believe which is a downer and there is only one on every map so its not like both sides get one. You are easily exposed in all seats and this is probably the worst vehicle to actually try to stay alive in the whole match. I think this vehicle is fun to drive around in and try to survive, possibly the best vehicle.

AR-160
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The AR-160 is an Assault Rifle introduced in the Battlefield 4: Naval Strike expansion. It is unlocked upon completion of the Spare Time Sniper assignment. The AR-160 functions similarly to the CZ-805 but possess more vertical recoil, a slightly faster tactical reload and a faster muzzle velocity. Despite this, it has a slower empty reload than the CZ-805. The AR-160 is best used for medium-range engagements, ideally using short ranged optics with a Magnifier combination or utilizing a medium range scope and Canted Ironsights. The use of the Angled or Folding grips with the use of a Heavy Barrel help to stabilize the weapon over longer ranges while the Ergo Grip helps with the weapon in close quarters.

SR-2
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The SR-2 is a PDW introduced in the Battlefield 4: Naval Strike expansion. It is unlocked upon completion of the Packing a Punch assignment. It shares its high rate-of-fire with AS Val.

It is worth noting that the cannon's projectiles seem to have an extreme drop-off, making long-range engagements difficult. Obtaining a kill with a cannon will award players with the "No Parley" achievement/trophy.

The DEagle 44 shares the same damage and range as the .44 Magnum, but has a higher rate of fire, quicker reload, and larger capacity, as well as lacking the revolvers' trigger pull delay. However, it also is slightly less accurate, gains more spread per shot, and has a lower bullet velocity. Overall, at close and medium ranges it is still at a large advantage over the .44 Magnum.

Ballistic Shield
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The Ballistic Shield is a Support gadget featured in the Battlefield 4: Dragon's Teeth expansion. It is unlocked upon the completion of the Vanguard assignment. It was added as a useable gadget in the Community Test Environment for early testing on June 7, 2014, as a part of the second initiative's focus on core gameplay. When deployed, the shield is held with both hands and is capable of deflecting all incoming small-arms fire, up to the Scout Helicopter's 7.62mm Minigun. The player is only able to see through the small glass viewport and cannot look down completely or go prone. Aiming will pull the shield closer, zoom in slightly through the viewport, and slow down the player. The player's lower legs will still be exposed while standing, so crouching is recommended to maximize personal protection. The player is also vulnerable while sprinting, as the shield is held to the left during the sprint as opposed to directly in front. The player cannot wield any weapons while holding the shield, making them unable to engage enemy players at range unless it is not being held. Instead, the player is now able to perform a close-range shield bash which will take three hits to kill enemy infantry within a two meter range. The shield is lowered during the attack, however, leaving the player open to gunfire for the short duration. The knife may also be used normally while the shield is equipped by pressing the knife button. While the player is almost completely defended from frontal attacks, they will still take damage normally from the sides and back. The glass viewport can also be penetrated and destroyed by heavier rounds from Sniper Rifles, the M82A3, the AMR-2, 12G Slug rounds, all revolvers, and any sort of explosive ordnance. The viewport will be visibly shattered if it is hit by any of these, and the player will take damage from attacks aimed at the viewport as a result. The shield is still vulnerable to tank shells, and the player will still die if directly hit by one. Of note is the fact is that the player does not carry the shield on their player model when it is not in use, and subsequently does not protect the player in any direction when not equipped.

RAWR
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The RAWR is a Battle Pickup featured in the Battlefield 4: Dragon's Teeth expansion. It is equipped with an M240 LMG, four M203 3GL launchers and a Flash Light, as well as Thermal and Zoom Optics. Like all other Battle Pickups, the RAWR spawns at specific points on Dragon's Teeth maps, with its PDA resting on top of a crate labeled "RAWR". Once the PDA is picked up, the drone can be deployed and operated. Something to note, however, is that if the player switches to another weapon while the drone is deployed, the PDA will disappear and the RAWR will become unusable. If the drone has not yet been deployed, however, then the PDA will simply fall to the ground and can be picked up again. Although the drone has considerable firepower with its weapons and has a large amount of health, it can be dispatched fairly quickly if it's attacked by multiple enemies, especially if explosives are employed. It can also be easily identified by the bright yellow light on its antenna and its forward-facing flash light, making it difficult to not be spotted. In order to be most effective, it's recommended to take on only small groups of enemies while working alone and to try and flank unaware enemies when possible. Working with teammates is also a good idea, as the RAWR can also be a considerable force multiplier while supporting friendlies. As well, it can also be actively repaired by an Engineer or EOD Bot, making it even more of a better idea to stick around allies. Unlike most other gadgets and vehicles, the RAWR cannot reload its weapons, so conservative use of ammunition is necessary to make the most of its firepower.

Vehicles
Tanks

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The tanks in BF4 have not really changed much since bf3. You can still put attachments on the vehicles but there is still a bigger variety to what to choose from and what does what. I will go down most of the attachments here:

Secondary Weapon
The secondary weapon can have different types of shells or a coaxial LMG. I prefer using the shells if your planning on killing vehicles or other tanks. If your planning on killing infantry use the LMG, it shoots and kills people really fast. If you are trying to kill someone with the explosives you are not guaranteed to kill them as you would with the LMG. They both have ups and downs.

Protection
There is multiple ways to protect your vehicle from rockets or explosives. The most effective one is Active Protection. Active protection is when if you use it you will have 5-10 seconds of nothing being able to hurt you. Rockets can hit you but no damage will be taken. The other ones dont really do anything to protect you they just send smoke out so your enemy cant see you.

Helicopters

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
There are 3 different types of helicopters;Scout, Attack, and Little Birds. They all have there own unique abilities and I will be talking about them below.

Scout
You need passengers in this vehicle if your planning on getting points or killing people. This is more like a transport vehicle to drop people off or pick them up. It has 5 open slots for people to get in; 2 gunners, 2 repair men or gun seats, and a driver. This vehicle isnt the best and it can get shot down easy

Attack
Attack helicopters are probably the best helicopter. They have more armor than the little bird and can kill people faster. It has all kinds of attachments you can use to let you kill people and other things quicker. It has 2 seats only which is bad I guess but in these two seats you both can kill people in them. First seat is to fly and rockets, and the second seat is the gunner seat or kill infantry.

Little Birds
Little birds are a mix of both attack and scout helicopters. You can drop off 3 people in your helicopter or pick 3 people up. If your the driver you can shoot people on the ground to provide cover support for your allies. You can also put vehicle attachments on it making it harder to kill or stronger overall. Its a great vehicle to use and moves fast.

Jets

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
There is 3 different types of jets but I dont see a difference in any of them. They are all fast moving jets that can maneuver really good. They have lots of attachments to use giving them lots of powers to kill things on the ground or air. Like they can have a Laser Guided missile to shoot tanks or quad bikes or have active radar and shoot jets down really fast. They all I guess turn different or slow down in a certain way so that you have a better advatage

LAV

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
These are the strongest vehicles on land in this game. They are over powered and can literally take out anything in site with a snap of a finger. They have way to much attachments making it really strong again and making it harder to kill. If your in it your guaranteed a lot of kills in it. The AA gun can take out air vehicles and people really fast if you have the right attachments on. I see these over powered like no other, get in them!

Transport Vehicles

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Well transport vehicles arent really made to kill things there made well to get you to your destination. You cant put any attachments on the vehicles what so ever and they have low health. One tank bullet can drop you dead or drop you all the way down to 9 percent on your vehicle. If you see anything intimidating get out of there fast or your gonna die. Have Fun!

Boats

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
So there is different types of boats to use in the game but the most common ones seen is the DV Boat. The DV boat cant be killed really unless your getting ganged up by multiple things. This has multiple things on it making it stronger in any possible way, even 3 C4 cant kill it. If your gonna use this and have active protection on have fun the whole game living and boosting your KD up. So over powered.

-Fix for an issue where the splash damage for IFV shells, Helicopter rockets, and Mortar rounds was unable to destroy deployed equipment.
-Fix for an issue that could cause the quad bike to explode when it hit indestructible objects.
-Fix for an issue that would cause sniper rifles to display too much bloom when aiming in snowy conditions, especially the outside areas of Operation Locker.

-Fix for an issue that could cause packet loss.

PROGRESSION
-Added Gold Battlepacks as rewards for Class Service Stars, allowing players that have reached the max Rank to continue earning new Battlepacks.*

WEAPONS / GADGET TWEAKS
-Increased the damage of the normal buckshot against targets with Body Armor.
-Reduced the vertical recoil of the M4 and M16A4 to give these burst fire weapons a tighter burst accuracy in their mid- to long range role.
-Reduced the side-to-side and first shot recoil of the G36C. This weapon now has the lowest side-to-side recoil of the carbines, giving it a clear controllable low rate of fire role, especially when compared to the AK5C, Type-95B-1 and the AKU-12.
-Tweaked the detonation time of the 40mm LVG so it bounces less before going off. The maximum damage has however been reduced to 80 like the RGO.
-Reduced the number of how many 40mm HE and LVG rounds players can carry, from 4 to 3.
-Increased the time it takes to get new 40mm round from ammo boxes. The time is longer for HE and LVG grenades and shorter for utility grenades like SMK and FLASH.

GRENADE TWEAKS
-Increased the time it takes to get new RGO IMPACT, V40 MINI, M84 FLASHBANG and M18 SMOKE grenades from ammo boxes. Since the player now carries more of these grenades, the resupply delay needed to be longer to prevent grenade spamming.

VEHICLE TWEAKS
-Significantly improved the suppression from mounted vehicle weapons, including miniguns, HMGs, LMGs, and all shells types for all armored vehicles.

AIRCRAFT TWEAKS
-Further reduced the repair rate for the Scout Helicopters and the Transport Helicopters.
-Significantly increased the damage of Transport Helicopter miniguns.
-Changed the flight ceilings on Gulf of Oman, Caspian Border and Operation Firestorm to better match the height of the structures in those levels.
-Adjusted the damage of the 25mm and 30mm cannons for both Stealth Jets and Mobile AA to be equal in Damage Per Second to the 20mm default weapons. These weapons were clearly poorer choices in all circumstances, and their different rates of fire are intended to be the player's choice factor for these weapon systems.
-Increased the splash damage and the range at which the JDAM bombs can achieve max splash damage. The JDAM's power was not properly balanced with its difficulty to use. The JDAM remains a primarily anti-vehicle weapon, though this change will increase the effectiveness against all targets.
-Increased the accuracy and direct hit damage of the AC130 40mm cannons. 40mm cannons can now be used to fire pinpoint shots in 2-3 round bursts, enabling them to provide accurate fire on infantry and vehicle targets. Their velocity has also been marginally increased to aid their accuracy.
-Increased the splash damage and range of the AC130 25mm cannons. These cannons now do approximately 50% more damage, in a slightly increased area of impact. The increased damage as well as increased suppression effects will allow the 25mm cannon to fill its role as an area of effect weapon against infantry.

MANTLE
-Mantle now requires Catalyst 14.2 or later drivers.
-Fixed multiple crashes.
-Fixed memory leak when switching between windowed and full screen.
-Optimized memory management which can reduce amount of performance stalls when video memory is overcommitted.
-Improved performance when vsync is used.
-Fixed bug with offset mouse cursor when using full screen and horizontal windows taskbar.
-Multi-GPU: Added initial support for frame pacing for smoother frame rate in full screen mode, enabled by default. Can be disabled in console / User.cfg with RenderDevice.FramePacingMethod 0.
-Multi-GPU: Fixed black screen when starting on machine with multiple GPUs where the weakest GPU has the display attached to it.
-Multi-GPU: Fixed intermittent crash when switching between windowed and full screen mode when having multiple GPUs

DIRECTX
-Fixed bug with borderless window not covering entire screen when starting up

-Tweaked volume balance and other ambiance parameters on the majority of base game and China Rising maps
-Improved the track vehicles wheel friction so vehicles dont get stuck at relatively minor hills
-Fixed an issue with faulty zoom levels that occurred when using click to zoom in. While sprinting and zooming, will mess up the zoom levels, from hip to zoom.
-Improved boat physics and handling, including implementation of a system that lets players push stuck boats back in the water

SPECTATOR MODE
-Added a chat feature, allowing spectators to take part of the chat of the match theyre spectating
-Fix for the EMP/Proxy Attack effects being visible in Spectator Mode
-Removed the black screen that was visible when switching between cameras and players in Spectator Mode
-Removed squad colors in Spectator Mode, now only the red and blue team colors are visible

-Tweaked the 1st person view in Spectator Mode so that spectators now see exactly what players see and nothing else
-Added a functionality in Spectator Mode so that, when going into Freecam from 1st or 3rd person mode, the first static freecam will be moved to behind the previously spectated player
-Added the possibility in Spectator Mode to fire at a player from Freecam to go into 1st person view of that player
-Spectators can now see which player on the scoreboard that carries the bomb in the Obliteration and Defuse game modes

GRENADE TWEAKS
-Increased the number of M84 FLASHBANG and HAND FLARES the player can carry from 2 to 3.
-Increased the effect of M84 FLASHBANG grenades on friendly and enemy players.
-Increased the maximum damage for the RGO from 67 to 80, however reduced the range of explosion.
-Reduced the visual and audio effect for the detonation of the V40 Mini to highlight its smaller blast when compared to other grenades. Decreased the maximum damage from 80 to 60, and decreased the range at which maximum damage is applied.

PISTOL TWEAKS
-Increased the aimed accuracy of the M1911 to make it a viable choice once the COMPACT 45 has been unlocked.
-Increased the close range damage of the M1911, QSZ-92, FN57, CZ-75 and COMPACT 45.
-Reduced the delay between pressing the trigger and the bullet firing for the M412 REX and .44 MAGNUM.
-Increased the magazine capacity of the QSZ-92 to 20 rounds. Additionally reduced the recoil of the QSZ-92 to give it a clear difference from the FN57.
-Corrected a small error with the COMPACT 45 accuracy when crouched or prone.

WEAPON TWEAKS
-Increased the accuracy of pump action shotguns (870 MCS, HAWK 12g, SPAS-12, and UTS 15) while on the move and aiming.
-Reduced the long range damage of the MTAR to bring it in line with the rest of the Carbines.
-Adjusted the way inaccuracy is handled when transitioning from Hip fire to Aimed fire.
-The Heavy Barrels Accuracy bonus now also applies on the move, at a reduced bonus. This should give the Heavy Barrel a wider role for players who desire accuracy while aimed in all situations.
-Synchronized the timing of the aim down the sights animation of sniper rifles with their ability to fire with full accuracy. Players no longer need to wait for additional time after the aiming animation plays to get accurate shots. There is still a delay to achieve full accuracy, so Quick Scoping is still not possible.
-The SRS bolt action time has been tweaked and the rate of fire has been lowered
-The GOL bolt action time has been tweaked
-The muzzle velocity for the MP7 has been reduced
-The MTAR21 muzzle velocity has been reduced
-Updated the handling of the 1x scopes for Type95B1, A91, SteyrAug, SAR21, QBZ951, FAMAS, UTAS, MTAR, L85A2, and F2000
-Updated rate of fire for the RGP7 and NLAW

VEHICLE TWEAKS
-Reduced the total amount of missiles carried by the Mobile Anti-Aircraft vehicles from 6 to 4.
-Reduced the velocity of the MAAs default 20MM CANNON from 1200m/s to 800m/s to match the 30MM CANNON.
-Reduced the physical impact of all Anti-Aircraft missiles to prevent helicopters from flipping uncontrollably when hit. The damage values have not been changed.
-Reduced the cone in which ACTIVE RADAR missiles search for targets, making them require a higher level of skill in predicting where a target will be when the missile is fired.
-Increased the direct damage done by the Attack Helicopters gunner cannon. The gunner will be better able to assist the pilot in taking down vehicle targets with this change.
-Increased the direct hit damage of the Zuni Rockets for Attack Helicopters. The rate of fire of these rockets combined with their smaller magazine pool made them a poor choice over the other two rocket types.
-Reduced the splash damage and maximum splash damage range of the Scout Helicopter 25MM CANNONS.
-Reduced the intelligence of the MBT LAW missiles, requiring the player to aim the missile closer to their target before the smart projectile will activate. Additionally, the MBT LAW now reloads slightly slower. Finally, a bug where the MBT LAW would pass through an ACTIVE PROTECTION shield has been fixed.
-Fixed an issue where ACTIVE PROTECTION and the MP-APS did not properly stop 12G FRAG rounds.
-Reduced the range where the M2 SLAM will do maximum damage to vehicles from 6M to 3M. The range was deemed to be too large, making the M2 SLAM far superior to the M15 AT MINE.
-Reduced the damage the STAFF shell does to all targets by 25%. This should balance the ease of use of the STAFF shell with its damage potential.

Jan 30 PC Game Update Notes

Mantle Support
The new Mantle renderer has been added in Battlefield 4. Most players can expect a performance increase by using this new low-level graphics API. Check out this news post [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] for the full details on Mantle, what the requirements are to run it, and how to enable it.

CPU/GPU performance and monitoring
-Tweaked and improved CPU multi-core utilization to try and avoid stuttering and low framerate due to stalls that happened on some CPU and OS configurations.
-Users can now configure and control themselves how many CPU cores should be used in the game with the new Thread.MaxProcessorCount settings in User.cfg.
-Render.DrawScreenInfo 1 now also shows information about which CPU and GPU is in the system, how many GPUs & CPU cores are used and which renderer (DirectX 11 or Mantle) is active
-Added new PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable command that records frame times on CPU & GPU and logs out to a .csv file
-AMD Catalyst driver 13.12 (or later) is now recommended instead of 13.9
-Enabled tile-based compute shader lighting optimization on Nvidia for improved GPU performance (already active on AMD GPUs)
-Improved performance with rendering and spotlights for all GPUs, primarily in in-door environments

DMR Balance Tweaks
-Increased the damage of all DMRs across all ranges. Specifically, damage has been increased at long ranges to allow three-hit kills against unarmored opponents. Additionally, reduced the penalty to accuracy for sustained DMR fire, allowing more rapid follow up shots in combat. The amount of the damage increase varies from weapon to weapon, according to its intended range, rate of fire, and damage. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of DMRs in combat, and determine if additional action is needed to make DMRs a viable mid to long range weapon.

Other Items
-Significantly reduced the duration of the black screen when spawning in, and fixed the issue with players getting killed before being in-game
-Greatly reduced the risk of crosshairs disappearing, which would also result in hit markers disappearing
-Added a headshot icon on the killcard. This should help identify instances where players are correctly killed by one shot
-Fixed an issue in Squad Deathmatch where the Win/Lose text was overlapping
-Fixed an issue with players using an exploit for the SOFLAM
-Fixed an issue with players using an exploit for the MAV
-Fixed the gameplay code to properly track the FOV (Field of View) changes in the options menu

-Fixed an out-of-helicopter glitch in Air Superiority where players could spawn on the ground and play as infantry
-Fixed the misaligned crosshairs on the T90 MBT
-Added setting to tweak joystick dead zone
-Various minor crash fixes

Jan 13 PC Game Update Notes

-Fix for the issue where the revive UI could be permanently shown after accepting a revive

Dec 16 PC Game Update Notes

-Fix for a crash that would cause the game to stall, resulting in a sound loop. This should eliminate most of the problems relating to this.
-Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for roadkilling opponents.
-Fixed one of the issues related to the so-called Netcode (see below for details).

-Fixed a minor crash that could occur when bringing up the scoreboard.

Netcode improvement
Weve addressed the so-called Kill trading. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the timeframe when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server.

Dec 9 PC Game Update Notes

Shot behind cover when changing stance
Sometimes the character stance could get into a multiple frame desync and be part of the problem where you got shot even though your character was actually behind cover. This would mostly affect players doing transitions into crouch and prone as well as moving when crouched. The impact was smaller in a standing stance. This bug fix eliminates this particular desync issue.

We have also increased the camera height when crouching and moving to more accurately reflect the actual height of your soldier in that stance (the first person camera was too low when crouching and moving, resulting in that you had a poor representation of how much of your soldier that was actually out of cover.)

-Fixed one of the most frequently occurring client crashes
-Fixed broken collision on containers with open doors. The bug previously made grenades bounce back even though the doors were open.
-Fixed a bug in Defuse mode where defenders could win the round by killing all the attackers without disarming the bomb, if the bomb was disarmed in the previous round.
-Miscellaneous stability fixes further reducing the number of client crashes
-Fixed side gunner jitter when aiming in attack boats & transport helicopters
-Fixed some instances of frame rate drops when shooting at large Levolution objects after they have been destroyed (like the radar dish on Rogue Transmission)
-Fixed broken aiming for passengers on the China Rising dirt bike
-Fixed a bug where the sound when capturing a flag was not playing correctly
-Removed a bug that would double save during MP round transition and SP level transition. This fix will reduce the occurrence of corrupted save files.

Dec 3 PC Game Update Notes

-Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks
-Fixed the audio bug where audio sometimes randomly dropped out while playing on certain multiplayer maps (typically Golmud Railway and Hainan Resort)
-Fixed the "one-hit kill bug" where occasionally damage from a single bullet was applied multiple times
-Fixed a common crash that would occur when exiting from the Single Player Campaign to Main Menu
-Tweaked the network and computer performance screen to show proper values. Players can now test their computer and network connection and get recommendations if they need to adjust something to improve their gameplay experience

NETWORK PERFORMANCE
Eliminated a network sync bug
If youve been experiencing situations in multiplayer where it appears that you are taking damage from enemies through walls, you might have been the victim of a network sync bug. In this game update, we have identified and eliminated one such bug that caused this type of gameplay experience. We are continuing to work on more multiplayer optimizations concerning network performance.

Improved Network Smoothing
We have made some improvements to the Network Smoothing functionality that you can find in the OPTIONS>GAMEPLAY menu. The Network Smoothing slider governs a group of settings that aim to produce a tighter multiplayer experience based on your specific packet loss situation.

Removed network lag
In certain specific situations, network lag would be introduced when interacting with objects in the game. This has been experienced by some players during melee combat, when climbing ladders, and when operating stationary weapons. The cause for these specific network lag situations has been solved.

GAMEPLAY BALANCING
-Removed the scout helicopter at the final base for the defenders in Rush mode on Siege of Shanghai
-Adjusted a Conquest flag position on Zavod 311 that was obstructing vehicles.
-At Hainan Resort in Rush mode, defenders were given too much armor at the first base. We have removed the defender IFV at the first base, added an attacker IFV at the first base, and increased the spawn delay on the defender IFV at the third base.

-Corrected a small error with the COMPACT 45 accuracy when crouched or prone.

WEAPON TWEAKS
-Increased the damage of all DMRs across all ranges. Additionally, reduced the penalty to accuracy for sustained DMR fire, allowing more rapid follow up shots in combat.

-The Heavy Barrels Accuracy bonus now also applies on the move, at a reduced bonus. This should give the Heavy Barrel a wider role for players who desire accuracy while aimed in all situations.
-Synchronized the timing of the aim down the sights animation of sniper rifles with their ability to fire with full accuracy. Players no longer need to wait for additional time after the aiming animation plays to get accurate shots. There is still a delay to achieve full accuracy, so Quick Scoping is still not possible.

-Reduced the cone in which ACTIVE RADAR missiles search for targets, making them require a higher level of skill in predicting where a target will be when the missile is fired.
-Increased the direct damage done by the Attack Helicopters gunner cannon. The gunner will be better able to assist the pilot in taking down vehicle targets with this change.
-Increased the direct hit damage of the Zuni Rockets for Attack Helicopters. The rate of fire of these rockets combined with their smaller magazine pool made them a poor choice over the other two rocket types.
-Reduced the splash damage and maximum splash damage range of the Scout Helicopter 25MM CANNONS.

Janurary PS3(30) & Xbox360(31) Game Update Notes

DMR Balance Tweaks
-Increased the damage of all DMRs across all ranges. Specifically, damage has been increased at long ranges to allow three-hit kills against unarmored opponents. Additionally, reduced the penalty to accuracy for sustained DMR fire, allowing more rapid follow up shots in combat. The amount of the damage increase varies from weapon to weapon, according to its intended range, rate of fire, and damage. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of DMRs in combat, and determine if additional action is needed to make DMRs a viable mid to long range weapon.

-Fix for the death camera/screen being displayed too early.
-Fix for a Defuse bug where none of the teams would win a round by letting the timer runs out.
-Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for road killing opponents.

-Balanced vehicle miniguns to do more damage versus infantry.
-Fix for the game mode specific ribbons being counted twice in the multiplayer progression.
-Fixed a bug in Defuse mode where defenders could win a round by killing all the attackers without disarming the bomb. If the attackers arm the bomb, the defenders need to disarm it to win, even if they have killed all the attackers.

Kill trading issue
Weve addressed the so-called Kill trading. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the timeframe when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server. This should reduce the probability of kill trading.

December 5 PS3 & Xbox360 Game Update Notes

This patch is mainly focused at increasing game stability and contains a number of crash fixes. Accumulated, these fixes should help increase stability overall in the game.
-Reduced the risk of a crash when transitioning from one multiplayer round to another
-Fixed a crash that could occur when creating decals (bullet hit effects, etc.)
-Fixed a crash that could occur when leaving vehicles
-Fixed a crash that could occur when moving outside of the intended play area
-Fixed a crash that could occur when firing the MBT and IFV gunner incendiary weapon
-Fixed a crash that could occur when opening the Options menu
-Fixed a problem with weapon accessories using up too much memory, which in turn could lead to crashing

Field Upgrades Reactivated
We have now fixed the Field Upgrades "Indirect Fire" and "Perimeter Defense" that were crashing the game. These Field Upgrades were previously deactivated as a workaround to this very frequent crash. With this fix in place we are now reactivating the Field Upgrades in question.

One-hit Kill Bug Fixed
Fixed the "one-hit kill" bug where damage from a single bullet sometimes was applied multiple times. This could lead to firefights where normal rifles sometimes dealt one-shot kills, which is not as designed.

One-hit Kill Bug Explained
We are seeing reports from people that this is still present, with descriptions such as I came around the edge of a building and died instantly. It is important to understand that this is not the One-hit Kill Bug, that is another issue that we are working on addressing. For this, it is important to understand how some of the interpretations made by the game happen so that you can understand the difference.

We saw an issue where a bullet travelling towards an opponent would cause damage in one frame, and then again in the next frame. Therefore bullets would cause 2x damage if they hit the target between these two frames. This issue has been addressed.

The issue of dying before you saw who shot you is a different beast. We use a term called Interpolation in reference to where you are in the game world. There are instances where the death camera is initiated before the correct internet packets have arrived to be interpolated by your camera. This gives the impression that you were killed by "one shot" as someone came around the corner of a building. We have identified this issue and will address it in this patch and continue to tweak it in upcoming updates (see "Improved Hit Sync" below.)

Improved Hit Sync
We previously removed interpolation of damage events (like you taking damage from someone shooting at you) to make them feel more responsive, but that made the damage sync suboptimal. We are committed to tweaking the sync so that it will stay more true to what you are actually seeing. The first step towards this is taken in this patch, so you should see some improvement on this now. We will continue to work on improving hit sync in the game. This change is already live on PS3, PC, and PS4, and will go live on Xbox One and X360 in upcoming patches.

Miscellaneous Fixes
-Fix for stuck in infinite loading screen
-Fix for flares exploit where you could deploy flares faster by leaving and re-entering a vehicle
-Moved an infantry spawn point on Rogue Transmission at first base that was previously positioned outside of combat area
-Adjusted AT weapon at first base on Rogue Transmission from second floor barrack to outside on ground. Previously, players had to destroy a wall in order to reach the weapon
-Performance fix when firing upon large destruction objects (mostly after Levolution events)
-Minor performance optimizations
-Fix for destroyed object parts still being visible in the game world
-Smoother movement of networked objects (like vehicle turrets)

-Fixed various random deadlocks (the so called sound loop crash)
-Fixed flickering in map and minimap on Rogue Transmission and Operation Locker

-Increased damage by 25% for the Stealth Jet 20mm cannons
-Normalized repair rates across all vehicles. Vehicles with lower health points, like aircraft and transport vehicles, now repair more slowly than before

-Fix for friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members
-Fixed problem with killer health in kill card not being correctly updated (showing 100% health even though the soldier was hurt)

December PS4(17) & Xbox One(19) Game Update Notes

-Reduced the probability of the Kill trade issue (see below for details).
-Fixed a common crash that could occur during round transition.
-Fixed a crash that could happen for players that had lots of friends.
-Fixed a problem where the end of round screen was adding up scores several times in the rank bar, resulting in the rank bar showing a higher value or rank than players really had.
-Fix for the game mode specific ribbons being counted twice in the multiplayer progression.
-Fix for a graphical glitch that could appear on terrain.
-Fixed an engine audio dropout that could happen when driving IFVs.
-Fix for a camera glitch that could occur when players were switching weapons while moving in crouched stance.

-Tweaked the War Tape audio setting to remove distortion.
-Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for roadkilling opponents.
-Servers with users playing on them are now by default placed on the top in the Server Browser.
-Servers that friends are playing on have a higher priority in the server list.
-Server Browser is no longer showing empty or full servers by default.
-Servers that are completely empty will be shown only when the Empty option is checked in the Server Browser filter.

-Balancing jet handling across all stealth and attack jet classes.
-Fixed a bug in Defuse mode where defenders could win a round by killing all the attackers without disarming the bomb. If the attackers arm the bomb, the defenders need to disarm it to win, even if they have killed all the attackers.
-Fix for players getting stuck in the revive screen.
-Fix for players getting stuck in the kill camera after being revived. Note that you might see a graphical bug on-screen after being revived when accepting a revive within 1 second. This graphical bug will be removed in the next patch.
-Fix for a Defuse bug where none of the teams would win a round by letting the timer run out.
-Fixed the instance where players suddenly would transition into Spectator Mode while playing the Defuse game mode.
-Fix for the death camera/screen being displayed too early.
-Raised the first-person camera slightly for walking in crouch to more accurately reflect the actual position of the character.
-Lowered IED explosion sound to not bottom out the HDR.
-General stability improvements.

Kill trading issue
Weve addressed the so-called Kill trading. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the time frame when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server. This should reduce the probability of kill trading.

-Made the icons used to signal voice chat status more reliable

-Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks
-Further reduced the probability of getting a corrupt save file by doing miscellaneous changes to the save file system. These include removing the save file saving again when quitting multiplayer

-Fixed a random crash related to destroying vehicles
-Fixed minor destruction issues in the terrain

December 5 PS4 Game Update Notes

-Fixed the "one-hit kill" bug where damage from a single bullet sometimes was applied multiple times. This could lead to firefights where normal rifles sometimes dealt one-shot kills, which is not as designed.
-Fixed a crash that could occur when having a very large amounts of Friends
-Enabled audio in PS4 video captures

One-hit Kill Bug Explained
We are seeing reports from people that this is still present, with descriptions such as "I came around the edge of a building and died instantly". It is important to understand that this is not the One-hit Kill Bug, that is another issue that we are working on addressing. For this, it is important to understand how some of the interpretations made by the game happen so that you can understand the difference.

We saw an issue where a bullet travelling towards an opponent would cause damage in one frame, and then again in the next frame. Therefore bullets would cause 2x damage if they hit the target between these two frames. This issue has been addressed.

The issue of dying before you saw who shot you is a different beast. We use a term called Interpolation in reference to where you are in the game world. There are instances where the death camera is initiated before the correct internet packets have arrived to be interpolated by your camera. This gives the impression that you were killed by "one shot" as someone came around the corner of a building. We have identified this issue and will address it in upcoming updates.
