On this subject I find it amazing how hard it is to get a game of Epicentre and anything on End Game without going into specific End Game and Aftermath servers.

There's plenty of non Dice servers ones I find, at least in regards to End Game. Bit touch n go in regards to Aftermath though alright.

Very good, sad to say that after over 700 hrs playing I learned something here. No shame in that and Sahin, yes, I agree, tutorial should be compulsory*

*but then we'd miss out on some quality noob behaviour like the day I say a guy trying a arm an MCOMM which was already blown up - he stayed at it for a good 10 - 20 seconds!!

I like that they are changing suppression so that your scope actually sways however I predict the Defensive " ARMOUR, COVER, FLAK, and QUICK REGEN" upgrade tree will be whored big time.

They're better off taking Armour out already.

Its going to end up being the one everybody picks but nobody wants to.

The Road to Battlefield 4: Field Upgrades Revisited

As you may already have seen, there’s much chatter around the Internet, and we’ve seen fans wanting to hear more about how especially some of the Field Upgrades work. So, we asked Alan Kertz, our Core Gameplay Designer, to explain the Armor, Reduced Fall, Stealth and Quick Unspot Field Upgrades in more detail. You can find his answers below.

Armor
Unlike previous versions of Body Armor in Bad Company, this Field Upgrade in Battlefield 4 is more similar to the more limited setups in BF2 and BF2142. It does not increase your overall health, instead it makes the small upper chest hit box more resilient to damage, equal to the rest of the body. In practice, this means that snipers can’t 1HK your upper chest at point blank ranges. It also provides some small protection from shotgun burst damage, though your head, legs, arms, and stomach remain unprotected. At medium and longer ranges, the armor has no effect on how many bullets it takes to kill a player. Essentially, Body Armor is for countering CQB sniper rifles, and not much else.

Reduced Fall
Small falls will not cause damage, however, the lethal fall distance remains the same. For example, without Reduced Fall jumping from the 2nd story of a building would cause 25 damage, and jumping from the 3rd story might cause 50 damage. With Reduced Fall the damage from the 2nd floor jump is eliminated, but jumping from the 3rd story will still cause 50 damage.

Stealth and Quick Unspot
These are both minor adjustments to the spotting system. Players are spotted for about 7 seconds by default, the Quick Unspot reduces this to 5 seconds. It’s important to note it doesn’t otherwise change any spotting behavior, for example if you track a spotted player he will stay spotted even with Quick Unspot equipped. Stealth simply adjusts the speed threshold for detection in Motion Sensors. A basic player can avoid being spotted by a Motion Sensor if they crouch or prone while moving. Stealth allows you to move at normal speed, however all players will be spotted by Motion Sensors at Sprint speed. Stealth is only available to the Recon kit, and must be earned through squad play. Both of these are good tools to play in a stealthier manner, but they hardly make a player invisible.

Nope, after hearing the feedback from the community, they gave it back to Support.

You can still slide C4 however, which will make for some cool traps.

I thought the last blog update had C4 for both support and useless camper monkey? I'm at the airport and sleep deprived so I may be wrong.

Edit: from here

Recon has gotten a much needed boost to mobility, as well as the return of the Spec Ops play style from Battlefield 2. Pack a carbine, C4 (or Claymores), and Motion Sensors and you’re good to go behind enemy lines. Fans of more traditional sniping roles will enjoy our revamped sniping mechanics with rebalanced Sniper Rifles, the ability to zero your sights (set an aiming distance), and additional optics and accessories. Finally, the Recon players can still utilize the MAV, T-UGS, and Radio Beacon to help out their team.

So Recon and Support have c4 and claymores - strange that.

Think they could have done something with Recon and maybe gave them a trip wire - just for variation.

On Assault, I hear there is a 10 second cool down period for defibs but seen nothing since on that - anyone hear anything along those lines?

Not liking the medic specialisations they are referring too - last thing I want to see in BF4 is the poxy assault trains.

mozattack

Re Recon and C4 - cant wait.

I remember I was recon on Azadi Palace Rush and put a spawn beacon where the attackers tank spawns before the last set of bases. I killed a support guy and robbed his C4 and booby trapped the tank... waited and then BOOM.
Did it again and then again.. they went hunting me down but because I had tugs down I could pop them off, was very funny.
Guess what I am saying is that a Spawn Beacon and C4 will be dangerous when defending on Rush – can’t wait.

Fecking delighted C4 got put back on Support. All the PC lads will still have to deal with myself and shamrocks C4 antics!

GottaGetGatt

The spider web mine from the latest medal of honor would have been class if they added it to BF4.

Return of the AT4 from Bad Company 2 makes me happy. A mobile TOW rocket launcher for those that never got a chance to use it. Tis like seeing a work of art when you see someone take out a chopper with it.

It's not a B52, I'll see if I can figure out what it is.
