Battlefield 4 Update Coming Late January Or Early February
Battlefield 4 developer DICE has announced that a new update is in progress and will be delivered as early as this week. Included will be gameplay balancing measures and elements that will “enhance the overall multiplayer experience.”
The update will include stability improvements and fixes. It will also implement community-driven balancing requests, as we reported last week. DICE indicates that it will soon be sharing a list of items that are targeted for balancing, including DMR performance and anti-air weapons.

Our Take
The biggest improvement to the multiplayer experience that DICE could implement is a pre-match squad feature. The current process for joining friends is unreliable. Multiple times, I’ve ended up on the wrong team or the wrong squad. The time spent trying to get into the right place is time I’m not playing. Anything that can be done to ease this is a step in the right direction.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
