An Update on this weeks Update - 4.2

Ello folks -

Not wanting to sound too ridiculous on this one, but I wanted to hop in on the back of yesterdays post with an update on the 4.2 Update.

It will release this Thursday.

The update will require both Client and Server Updates, meaning that we’re expecting some downtime during our usual update window. This is all slightly later that we intended, sorry for the delay on this.

We’ll then be back with a second, and much smaller, update next week that has the sole purpose of enabling Marita. As soon as this second update has gone live, we’ll put live a Marita focused playlist that rotates between Conquest, and Breakthrough (two rounds, one as Attacker, and one as Defender).

Tomorrow I’ll be back with the full Update Notes for 4.2 and talk with you some more about what’s new, changed, and coming for our 4.4 Update. On Monday next week, I’ll then have an update that will confirm when to expect this second, much smaller, update, as well as confirmation on the release of the two New Elites.

In unrelated news, we’ll also be extending Rush through to the start of the Marita playlist. As soon as the lovely Matt Wagner is back off his Holidays I’ll set up a dedicated thread here on the boards for focused feedback on this. With the exception of oustanding issues (like spawning inside the ‘MCOM’), the consensus is very much we’ve moved in the right direction with the recent changes to Rush. This is encouraging for us all, and will help us to better focus what’s next for the mode.

Cheers - Freeman // PartWelsh

P.S. It’s ridiculously hot this week. Please stay hydrated!

P.P.S. I’ve used the word ‘Update’ 14 times in this post. I hope never to beat this record.

Saw your game winner in the firestorm round with Westie and Jack. Impressive!

Thanks! Rare I’m the one getting the winning kill but there you go!

One question. When you will take seriously all cheaters on PC? Insteady of adding new uniforms to earn some money, think about players, not your wallets.

Hope you guys tested it and made sure all or most the bugs are out with this update. If not i don’t mind if you’d delayed it again to make sure!

Hoping to hear some changes to the assignment system!

I thought conquest for al Sudan was releasing the same time as Marita. Is this not the case now or did I just make that up?

Is the second update a game update?

An update on an update of an update… I see we have gone several levels into this Inception.

Please… it’s been so long since we had new maps and weapons.

Will the update this Thursday fix stability issues on PS4 and other platforms? Blue screen after blue screen after blue screen on the Pro to the point that it’s almost expected now every time I play.

I hope that i’ll see some performance increase and cheat related patch.
I’d like to see that fairfight has issued 100 bans today sort of stuff, we desperately need that.

Add Arras from Grand Operations to the rush playlist, please.

Hitreg fixes, please!

Really??? Thats not the consensus here in the forums, nor how i feel when playing rush 2.0.

Thanks for the info, but if the game is as broken as it was this past month after the June update, I hope you guys aren’t going to wait a month to address the problems again. I know it’s a lot of work, but I’d rather you guys reverted to a past state of the game that functioned mostly well while you hammered out the issues, even if that puts things like ToW on hold.

if anything they play firestorm (see above) which is much better from performence perspective but ironicly not made by dice… this is how much they enjoy their own game

this… its worse than pervious one, limited flanking, full of campers on the maps where they are near impossible to see

Could I interest you in a new scent?

Do al sundan large modes feature in any of these?
