YouTuber, Jackfrags, has released a video today highlighting a massive issue with Battlefield 4. Calling it a “Death Shield”, Jack has discovered that newly downed soldiers will act as a shield for other enemy players.
The revive system in Battlefield 4 lets you resurrect dead teammates within a set time period. Jack has discovered that when the soldier is in this revivable state, bullets, projectiles and grenades will not pass through the area that the downed player would be standing (the players hit-box) if still alive. This effectively shields other players standing behind the downed soldier.

Battlefield 4 has had multiple patches since it’s release last year, but with more than six months passed and issues like this still present in the game, it’s still difficult to recommend it.
