BF4 Jan 30 patch notes

[undrt0w]

From the reddit "ninja" updates list:

Bombcarrier spotted 24/7 in Defuse "As soon as somebody picks up the bomb he is spotted for the enemy team." Credit to the guy who made the video.

That is the most ridiculous thing.

#RipCompetitive (a little bit more dead)

You can´t kill something which has no life!

For what is dead may never die.

[Ash2Dust]

EA and Dice have re-written their standards.

commander changes:
- you can no longer see where the enemy commander's scan UAV is at.
- you can no longer see where the enemy cruise missile is headed. you see an icon the missile was launched, and the missile itself as it enters the map, but the line of flight is gone.
- EMP does not destroy the enemy cruise missile immediately, rather applies damage over time. the cruise missile can now pass through an EMP and continue to its target. however it takes too much damage and disappears if its target was inside the EMP zone.
- and of course the HVT dasignation.

so you'll see much more missiles hitting now.

If this keeps going on, Minecraft will have more competitive scene than BF4.

Well you now crash when switching to the gunner seat in a tank or lav on Siege of Shanghai. If this happens on every map I am pretty much done.

I know it also happens in Zavod.

And flood zone

I don't have this problem fortunatly.
I did get into a LAV gunner position and was "unable to shoot" - it doesnt fire, no fire sounds and no hitmarks, but i did get kill assits so i guess it does actually fires, its just hard as hell to actually hit since you dont see the tracers, and the weapon can overheat without you knowing it.

[InsanityRocks]

Maybe this is the 'no sound' issue (or some variant) but I experienced it, last night, on Altai Range (=U= Rock ~24/7~ TDM Massacre ) and it was very disconcerting.

I couldn't hear any battle sounds except for my own (gun fire, etc). I could hear radio beacons. When I died and the kill cam came on, I heard the parachute sound (or something like) it.

No background music. No enemy gunshots. No vehicle sounds.

It was kind of eerie.

But, other than that, didn't experience any other issues, though my play was mostly infantry.

Oh, and had a blast with Bock last night, ripping up some BF3.

Hmmm, good to know. I can´t say it´s a specific problem with a map, rather than MAYBE a combination between maps n faction. Played on the same server on the same map twice (Zavod) and on one case i was unable to shoot and on the other one it was fine.

they have also lowered the paradrop points in the obliteration mode for Dawnbreaker and Flood zone.
it is no longer possible to paradrop from those deploy points onto the high roofs.

i really don't understand why they are not posting these changes. Is there a reason for not posting these? or they actually don't have a bug tracker and have no idea what they fixed?

Bad communication is another feature to add to a bad developing team in general.
