Battlefield 4 developer DICE has teased a string of incoming balancing changes and updates on Twitter, along with a list of guns being tweaked.

MP1st spotted DICE multiplayer game designers Alan Kertz and Dennis Brännvall talking about the new fixes and updates on Twitter, and captured a few interesting snippets.

Kertz had this to say:

Day Two: Waking up was more difficult. Got a nice update yesterday on BF4 fixes balance and progress. The team has been busy while I was out

Rebalance. DMR. V40. RGO. FB. MAA. Heli. Hand Flares. Oh the humanity!

Grenades also appear to be getting nerfed:

Small impact wins, looking at a smaller explosion sound and effect on the V40, to show off its a less effective grenade and reduce spam.

I think the V40 is a bigger issue in Hardcore than Core. Agree?

Meanwhile Branvall addressed issues with Battlefield 4's spectator mode:

Watching @BattlefieldESL spectator feels outdated now in comparison, improvements are coming

Mostly tweaks and removal of clutter, better flow to spectator. All in all it adds up. Casters are doing a great job though
