A video has surfaced of the upcoming Carrier Assault game play mode in Naval Strike, or rather, a tutorial of the game mode. Veterans of BF2142 will be able to get the drift fairly easily.

Essentially, there will be a number of missile silos on the ground/map area. Capturing these silos will have them launch missiles at the enemy carrier. Once that carrier’s shield is at %50, it can be boarded by your team.  You can then attack a reactor and destroy it, then head on to a second. If you destroy that, you win. However, the enemy team will also be actively defending their carrier.

As predicted, the game play is essentially the same to BF2142 Titan mode, of course with the differences that would come with it being a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, rather than a floating warship.

In a blog post released today, DICE revealed how they are working on various major issues that have been plaguing the game. Netcode, tickrates, collision models and other issues were all addressed, and there was also confirmation for fixes in upcoming patches.

“The game receives updates from the game server and displays these to the player using a system called latency compensation – this system makes sure players move around naturally on your screen when network updates arrive. We have found and fixed several issues with latency compensation, and thereby decreased the impressions of “one hit kills” in the game.”

From the onset, it was clear that the “One Hit Kill” bug was being caused by multiple factors, but it looks like more are being worked on.

Other highlights:

For some people, the latest patch, which fixed a few minor issues, and the big “Sound Loop Crash”, created a problem with not being to get past the loading screen, though most indications are that gameplay is still consistent.

Some players have found various fixes for this issue, and it seems to stem from using a third-party settings changer to effect the UI.DrawEnable configuration.

Platoons, which made their debut in Battlefield 3, will finally be returning to Battlefield 4 on February 27th.

Unlike the Battlefield 3 platoon, which was mostly appearance based, there will be some distinct new features in this iteration, which emphasize how well the members in a platoon do both together and individually.

New Features will include:

- The ability to create and join a Platoon for up to 100 members.
