You’re literally talking to a guy that talks to DICE developers directly. And if the game was patched, it was patched to minimal extent that doesn’t touch the actual code of the game. If they touched the code, the server would kick those players out of the server, because it wouldn’t be matching with the rest of the players on the server. That’s how cheats are found. If the client version is not 100% accurate to other players, server will kick those players out of the game. And funny enough, when Battlefield UI alpha finished last week, players who had access to it, were reporting they got banned by Punkbuster, because the server thought they had a cheat (

And this just joining a game on a server. This thing has been in Alpha for god knows how long, and it takes a lot of resources to replace Battlelog. It’s months of hard development just to make things work properly.
So imagine working on new content for BF4. Just imagine. Read my previous post again CAREFULLY. EA would be literally losing money, unless you’re willing to pay for that content. And if EA is losing money, developers are losing jobs. No developers, no good games to produce.
