Maybe I'll actually stand a chance of killing people now.

Thumbs up for the camera shake part. I always thought that it was way too aggressive with that. If an explosion happened anywhere within 50 of me, my whole world would shake like a volcano was about to blow.

The footage I've seen from the CT Environment seemed a lot more like what it should be. Fairly small patch all things considered. Only 258 megs.

God damn. I have the high-frequency setting up at High, and holy shit does it make a difference. You shoot someone, you get immediate feedback. I only traded twice, but it always felt like we got each other fair and square (ie wasn't latency's fault). Also only got killed around a corner once, but my killer did have a particularly good angle, so maybe I was wrong.

Overall, I'm very happy now.

Have you noticed any performance impacts?

So far nothing on client side. I'd expect, though, that increasing your tickrate demands robust upload/download speeds. I fortunately have both.

There is a bit of model twitching when someone has a higher ping than you, or is using a different tickrate, but it doesn't seem to affect hit registration that much.

With so much going on in BF4 that is to be expected. When they added huge destruction events or the so called levelution they had to cater to a lot of the worlds lack of proper internet infrastructure (I could go into some reasons as to why that is but that would take to long) for this games demanding up/down requirements that is why the tick rate isn't as high as other games. In the end this should allow players with a high up/down to get their moneys worth and hopefully put a stop to the ridiculous advantage that high pingers get.
