As if Battlefield 4 wasn’t glitchy enough, yet another bug has made its way into the modern warfare FPS.<\/p>\n
Lovingly called the “death shield” bug, players are able to shield themselves from damage for a time, hiding behind their fallen comrades.<\/p>\n
If a player is shot but is “revivable”, their hit-box remains in the area above him or her where their character would be if it was standing.<\/p>\n
This hit-box provides a “shield” for players behind the wounded body, and rounds fired at the player – from assault rifle bullets to tank shells – are either deflected or absorbed by the fallen soldier’s hit-box.<\/p>\n
If the fallen soldier is killed or dies while lying on the floor waiting for a revive, the shield disappears, and player that hid behind the body is once again vulnerable.<\/p>\n
We’ll just add this to the long list of gaffes for DICE and EA’s Battlefield 4, which have led to threats of legal action against EA because of Battlefield 4’s bugs<\/a> as well as delaying the expansion, Naval Strike, which was delayed for PC due to “performance issues”<\/a>.<\/p>\n Other fun glitches include TV guided missiles fired by boat pilots being destroyed and killing the player who fired them<\/a> as well as the well-documented Battlefield 4 servers caused rubber-banding.<\/a><\/p>\n Watch the video below to see the “hit-box shield” bug in action.<\/p>\n
