They also get to experience this.
Those images were posted by two different users and seems to be a new issue that was introduced in the latest patch. Also, the Killcam is broken for many players. It now sometimes doesn't display the killer's info at all, sometimes it shows the wrong info, other times it simply shows a teammate instead of the person who killed you. Many players are also reporting that their games are locking up or outright crashing between every map change and sometimes randomly in the middle of a round.
There are no vehicles or parachute spawns in the Obliteration mode. Guns sometimes spawn a good 5+ seconds after your character spawns. These, plus other issues, were introduced in the console patch that went out today for the game.
Ah well, can't win 'em all, right DICE? I'm sure you tried your best.
Note: For those affected by these and other issues, some users have claimed that uninstalling/erasing your old title updates for Battlefield 4 from your consoles will help. That means erasing title updates 1.01 through 1.08. Clearing the system cache was also "advisable." These are all user found fixes, so do these at your own risk.
The full list of changes in the actual patch from DICE are listed below (except for the change about psychotics being injected into your character).

Someone is ignoring their QA. I mean, when they were in beta, plenty of reported issues didn't get fixed before release, either. I assume their own testers are just as frustrated as we are. Someone over there is making the decision to push out buggy software instead of getting it fixed first. That person or group needs to be replaced.
They had to release a faulty product to ensure the turnover for the annual report. If they were to postpone the release for an additional two months, maybe even three, they would get hammered by the stock market.
Long live the almighty buck!!!
