I don't know why you complain about infy play on bf4 mate, whenever you play infy only maps your still top of the leaderboard rocking a 50-10 kdr man. It's not like the hitreg or gunplay is so terrible in bf4 that it effects you anyway mate.

Imagine his score (read as hax) if we get the same sort of reg/netcode and BF3!

Internet seems to have un-borked itself. Off to work I go, least today is a Friday for me! Think I will treat myself to a half 3 finish. :D
 
Its a funny one with the CTE, apparently your under NDA (EA ToS) but they (DICE) are trying to change that, so you can officially post videos, stream etc.


But with that said.....

PATCH DAY Today we will patch both server and client on the CTE for the second time! This will mean some server downtime. You will also have to update your CTE client in Origin to join servers once they are up again. PATCH CONTENTS This patch includes:

Hi-Frequency Network Update client option You now have the option to turn off or lower the amount of “tickrate” your internet connection can handle – everyone with constant packetloss (due to low bandwidth) on the current CTE should try the options and make sure it works properly. The current default is “HIGH” so everyone else can just ignore this one :).
Dampened explosive camera shake (give us feedback on everything from grenades to levolution shakes)
Possible fix for PC chat delay
New maps: Operation Metro 2014, Wave Breaker (enabled later)
Hainan Resort: Under-terrain exploit fix
Some other tweaks too small to mention


WHAT ARE WE TESTING? We need to make sure the “tickrate” is still working and engagements keep on being improved (as reported by the majority). Also we need to make sure the option works – turning it off or on a different setting actually helps players with low bandwidths.

It was only released late last night so I've not played it yet, will be on tonight though.

good progress.

Re affirms my opinion that are fundamentally decent at heart, but bound by shoddy EA schedules to churn out half finished ****.
 
I agree, tbh the mods on the CTE have been really good, happy to talk, take criticism and generally engage with the community etc. I do think the problems is EA and not DICE.


Speaking of the community, the CTE is so much more grown up without most of the battletards on the regular Battlelog.
 
downloading the cte update now

Edit
Right, I've only played for a few mins but very early impressions are:

- Game feels so much more fluid now
- No more jerky/choppy infantry movement
- Screen shake vastly reduced from explosions
- I tested latency in system performance test from Tickrate Off (0.11ms) to High (0.07ms)
- No Packet loss during gameplay

I'll test hit registration tonight.

Nexus, if it's any consolation, I just got Virgin 150MB installed and I get a ping of 6 on servers and download at 171MB/s for newsgroups (downloading nothing copyright of course)

still doesn't make you less of a noob....what's the phrase..... all the gear no idea? ;) teeeheeeee!

also reported to the cyber polices who are backtracing ur dun goofed behind :p

I see from those patch notes they want to know about screen shake.... how's this then.

and CQ large on resort with me mate Jay and I'm ground floor C running for my life...getting easily 150+ fps. run into lift and start going up..200FPS. Jay calls out one side of the building is going down. whilst this leveloution is going on my FPS drops to around 19-29 FPS!!!!!!! get out of the lift and running about on the roof it stays in the 20's for a few seconds, then ups to 50's for a few more seconds, then up to the 80's and after a total of about 10-15 seconds my normal FPS has returned.

Jay got this aswell and he was sat on the roof the duration of the leveloution, but his dropped to 9fps xD

so leveloution still seriously ****s with rendering/fps/stutter if you're anywhere near it (or almost inside it xD )

also the object boxes are still ****. B flag on dawnbreaker using the chinese dragon statue as cover, peek out to let off a few rounds.... nope...hits the statue...stick my ass out a bit more....and more...and more.... felt like i was a good body or two bodies widths out from cover before my bullets actually made it past... :p great xD

Its a nightmare aint it, always happens just as a guy comes round the corner too....

I only seem to get it on one side though (left?) but not hte other. I think...

I think it's something their working on, they certainly know about it, that and the invisible wall that appears after it falls.


When CTE first launched it was 247 Hainan as it is the 'worst performing map' from a server point of view (Said t1gge) Think thats part of the reason the levolution event kills your fps. :)

True but.... :p

In order to do well in bf 4 infantry, I have to completely change how I play infantry :( i.e. compensate for the problems such as the visual recoil thing with scopes, can't use anything other than kobra and green laser, the hip to ADS accuracy (not as bad but still there) and most importantly the performance with this game, no matter what I do, this game just doesn't feel smooth even though it runs at 60+ FPS and I get frame drops every now and then as well, gpu usage drops when that happens for some reason.....

The "features" of this game also make BF 4 infantry play a pita at times i.e. screen shake with the constant spam of explosions on some maps.

And of course the netcode/hit reg. nowhere as bad but is noticeable when you go from bf 4 back to bf 3.

Overall bf 3 infantry just feels better to play, smoother and more fluid/snappy feeling and most importantly fun and simple. Much prefer how the squad perk stuff and revive system in bf 3 too.

Don't like how bf 4 favours a slow gameplay style either.

Sniping in bf 4 has always been crap imo because of the hip to ads accuracy and netcode.

Naval strike the only good one so far.

typical vehicle whore excuses :p
 
Just had a quick game and killed behind cover again!!!
The problem is DICE refuse to run servers with ping kicks so how the **** can we have a fair test when there are players with pings as high as 400ms in our games?
I still believe the game runs much better though with this latest update, much better than the vanilla game.
I've not updated to the latest beta drivers yet in case they skewed my findings.
