Xbox 360 BF4 Multiplayer bugs/ issues

Sorry if this isn't the best place to post but there's so many links and forums and so on I'm not sur eI'm eveno n the right site to get my comments taken into consideration but I've come across a lot of minor/ annoying glitches that are bearable and a couple that are "I want to throw my controller through the TV AND THE WALL BEHIND IT" kinda rage creating issues.

I run an 18 month old Xbox 360 250GB with component lead set to HD 1080i or p (whichever is the higher) running through a Sony Bravia KDL something or other mid range 40" tv from about 2 years ago. I either use a headest or inbuilt TV speakers. I have a ~60MB BT fibre connection and run Wi-Fi with no issues, however I have since plugged the cable in to see if that affects it.....haven't noticed any difference. I installed both disks, put my china rising code in, downloaded that, then a 60mb? update, then installed the HD content from multiplayer disk, it asked me to put the single player disk back in, I declined and reset the Xbox. Wiped that HD content, reinstalled ok. The second Xbox is the same as mine, owned by a friend who brought it over to see if it was just my console. I ran the game, installed the update, then installed the disks AFTER to see if it made any difference. Haven't noticed anything.

Minor:

1. Missing sounds A (confirmed on two Xboxs, 2 different accounts)

I've noticed this identical issue on bf3. Whenever the AC-130 flies overhead, almost every other sound is drowned out, particularly engine notes, lock on noises, etc. But the sound of the AC-130 is still that of it being a few miles away. ie it's no louder but suddenly everything else is quieter for 30 seconds or so. if you fly under it, tracking it, you can go for ages not hearing anything.

2. Missing sounds B. (confirmed on two Xboxs, 2 different accounts)

Again, identical to bf3, the engine noises for vehicles I'm driving (or passenger) only work about 70% of the time. I spend the majority of my game flying a chopper or driving a quad and find it really disorientating not hearing the engine note.

3. Falling through the floor.

I found a few buildings on the beta (and full game) where the roof floor is actually about 1 level below where it looks. So you land on the roof and only the rotor blades show as the whole helicopter has passed through it (seemingly) onto the level downstairs. You can fly off unhindered, just a little weird and a waste of roofs for snipers really! Had the same when  landing in an apache on a different level yesterday, by a beach. I don't know what map.

4. Bloody annoying buttons. (confirmed on two Xboxs, 2 different accounts)

What the f*** have you done to the controls? I've wasted about 3482423459 lives running up to vehicles and repetitively stabbing them. WHY CAN I NOT CHANGE X WITH B? I cannot stand the spot button being RB but (kind of) get where you're coming from with that and trying to balance the controls across devices or whatever it is....but you don't buy a car and happily live with the fact that the manufacturer has swapped the clutch with the accelerator and that the steering wheel now actually changes gear and if you want to turn left then you need to turn the temperature dial ACW and CW for right........ get where I'm coming from?

5. Server filters not functioning correctly. (confirmed on two Xboxs, 2 different accounts)

I have tried every reasonable combination I can think of, even sequentially working my way through ticking all, unticking all, ticking then unticking all, ticking specific ones, etc. Every route I take I'm faced with (seemingly, I've not counted) 50+ FULL SERVERS before I scroll allllllll the way down to find about 5 games at the bottom where maybe 2 will have players and the others are 0.

6. Information boxes everywhere and messages.(confirmed on two Xboxs, 2 different accounts)

I don't want to know that I can move about the map BY A MESSAGE THAT TAKES OVER 25% OF THE MAP SCREEN!

Really, how do you sit in a meeting when planning this and say (put a Peter Griffin accent on) "You know what'd make a greeeeeeeat idea? We get a map- you know the thing that people look at with their eyes to make a decision based on the visual info in front of them.....then we'll COVER that map with a piece of information the user can't make any decisions based on at that moment in time so we not only waste their time, but ours too. PUT THE INFO ELSEWHERE OR ALLOW US TO TURN THEM OFF (succesfully). I've turned off info, hints, blah blah blah, but they''re still there. And there's no "do not show me this message again" opton. I wouldn't mind that!

7. Spot doesn't seem to work.

I can spot someone with no trouble in bf3, pass roughly somewhere over them and press "back" (much easier to press than RB at that time!). Job done.

Now, bf4...... why is it such hard work? I've been in a lot of situations where I'm franticly pressing back then all sorts of things when that f***ing display thing comes up that is irrelevant (btw, how do I get the server list up with whos playing now?) and inevitbly ends in me getting killed. If that doesn't happen and I manage to overcome my muscle memory for spotting and press RB instead, franticly or not, accurate or not, zoomed in on someones face/ vehicle/ weapon/area or not....they can't be spotted. I noticed it was a little harder on the beta but in the actual game I've nigh-on given up to be honest. What's the point in having a spot function? To make it a little easier for people and more fun. Why ruin it by making the accuracy so tight that it pretty much renders the function useless, or only available to those with reactions of a 5 year old on speed. IT'S A GAME REMEMBER, IT'S MEANT TO BE FUN!

Major issues;

1. Game crash on loading Hainan resort. (confirmed on two Xboxs, 2 different accounts, 1 anomaly)

I've tried loading this 4-5 times over the course of 2 days on my console. It crashes at the loadup screen, the small horizontal rectangle still moves through its stages in the top RH corner suggesting it's doing something but I left it for ten mins once and came back- still the same. the screen at this point is black, no map info. Can't remember now if it happens before or after stating the level....pretty sure it's after actually as I would not know what level it was otherwise.

I selected this map as the first to play on my friends console and worked with no issues. I then played a few more maps and joined another server later on another map, which naturally progressed to this map. At this point it crashed. I then reset it and manually selected it again, crash. Didn't bother reattempting it.

A result of the above is having to manually turn the Xbox off/on. Popping the drive open/closed doesn't even affect it. The control is frozen out

2. Lost data/ corrupted data. (couldn't recreate on friends console- the hainan resort crash seems more stable/ less harmful? than mine)

Due to having to reset (as mentioned above in point 1.) I have lost EVERYTHING, two- three times! This includes all saved data, control set-ups, basically any info you've edited from default or gained is wiped out. I was only on about level 2 or so but it's still wasted time and effort.

3. I've forgotten the additional important ones as I started mildly ranting there. I'll come back in a little while and update.

Apart from that, I'm liking it. It's not quite bf3 yet noticable lack of amroured shield style map and seems to be a lot of wasted map with nothing in, then 3 villages rammed together really tight......... spread things out a bit, I like driving/ flying around, I don't want to get from end to end in no time. It's more furstrating things that get me though, I can put up with maps that aren't quite there as long as they will be at some point/ their replacements.
