Should be about 50% better than 20Hz :wink:

 
:wink:
 
Gave it a go last night with the network set to high on a few TDM/Domination servers. Gunplay definitely felt more predictable, I think there was only one occasion where I thought I should have downed an opponent but didn't due to the lag (could have been packet loss, I don't know). Definitely less dying around corners, though it still happens now and then.
 
One of the more noticeable improvements from this patch is when using the shotgun. Before it was a bit of a mixed bag trying to score hits on people. It does seem much more reliable now (especially when using slugs).
 
A decent improvement for sure, though well overdue.

Well, not sure how many people still play BF4 but I just stepped back in since the new DLC is out.
 
I'm actually fairly impressed, all the new maps (except for maybe Pearl Market) are pretty damn fun to play. The Chainlink mode is pretty awesome, and it could be just placebo but the gunplay feels tighter than before. It seems like Dice are finally getting things to a state where it's actually decent to play (I believe a number of further changes are to be expected based on the CTE feedback).
