Battlefield 4 Changes

[Sgt Bear]

Dice has taken the feedback from the community and is going to make changes to the game. The changes affect all platforms of Battlefield 4. I have provide a link for more details. I am just listing a few key features.

Controller Layouts- You more options to choose from, but if you like it how it was just goto options menu and choose "Veteran" layout, it is similar to battlefield 3 (xbox360/ps3 only)

The revive time has been increased from 7s to 10s(All platforms)

RPG7 and SMAW can no longer lock on to Laser Designated Targets. (All platforms)

There is alot more, check out the link

This was definitely needed. Almost every time I went to revive someone with my defibrillators, they would disappear, even when I was johnny-on-the-spot.

Mixed feelings. This was perhaps too powerful of a combination (Recon with PLD and Engineer with RPG/SMAW) but it encouraged teamwork, which I like to see in games. There were two "features" of the beta that could have prevented people from complaining, in my opinion: give the chopper pilots flares by default to defend themselves and to not have the glitch where it didn't show the lock-on direction and didn't make the lock-on noise for RPGs.

nice find bear. glad DICE fixes things that matter lol. kinda bummed that they took away the lock ability for the rpg and smaw but I guess it doesn't make sense that it does lol.

Well, the problem in BF3 was a chicken and the egg problem ... no recon would take the SOFLAM unless an engineer had the Javelin, and vice-versa.

With the PLD, there's a better chance a Recon will have it (than they would the SOFLAM) because it's useful for other purposes ... zeroing out their scope, seeing enemies with the night vision view of the PLD. So, the new laser guided launchers might be useful for the Engineer to carry.
