Things you'd like to see fixed in BF4

The net code seemed pretty bad for me in BF3. I died quite often when I was well behind cover from my point of view. It seemed worse to me than pretty much any other FPS I have played be is a BF game or not. Then I talked to Al, and he said in his experience BF3 net code was better than 2142, so v0v.

I can put a half mag into someone on my screen only for them to turn around and hit me with 3 bullets and I die.

Have you played BF2?

I want a better Spawn interface on top of what's been talked about. BF2>BF3. Inviting people to your squad, muting an individual, the ability to spot who's chat spamming.... I like seeing what flag is being attacked but they took away a number of features to add the new ones.

BF2 was here and there( normally when someone with a high ping joined). It wasn't constant 24/7 shitty.

I hope they bring back the squad orders functionality. The current sucks ass.

As I mentioned to Civil the other day, I think the hit-detection is for the most part better than it was in 2142. I have fewer killed around corner moments. With that said, I would like to see even more improvement in this area. The most common issue I DO have related to netcode is when I see someone, I start firing first, I can see hits, I die and they have 100% health. This tells me that what I was seeing is pretty out of sync from what they were seeing.

That's really my biggest frustration with BF3 at this point (that doesn't directly relate to a "feature"). If that were resolved I think I might even play more than I do but with that crap taking place I can't muster more than a few rounds of "man I shot that guy first, doesn't matter still dead and server says no" before it's too frustrating to bother respawning.

The other thing that I dislike is that horrid, imo, "slow motion" to scope in/out with rifles. FFS it feels like I could get a cup of coffee in the time it takes to bring the rifle sight up.

Overall - better memory/gfx optimization on maps. Some of the maps are just shit for memory utilization so those of us with less than stellar machines (raises hand) won't be so heavily penalized by technical issues when other maps run fine (specifically a few of the B2K maps are terribad for memory).

That's another good one too...

And to follow that - the evil spawn of 'Q' + "Comm Rose" is, imo, less than optimal in BF3. It's far to slow and feels like the mouse sensitivity of it changes from what the game is running at.

Oh yea, forgot all about the crappy order system. And the inability to place the marker where you choose. Which made pinpoint air strikes possible.

That was a big part of it. Place an smoke canister on a group of tanks or whatever and the pilot could see exactly where they needed to hit.

The current attack/defend only on flags has much to be desired. You cant say defend a choke point that isn't on a flag.

I would like the spawn system to be a little more responsive to the action that is happening. If a flag is being captured don't have people spawn in right in the middle of the fight. Have different spawn points around the flag that will allow players to spawn in but not get immediately camped.
