The CTE update that came into the main Battlefield 4 games, brought a ton of new options into the game. This will be a guide to those new options, where I will explain what they do, and my recommended settings.
A # sign beside the option means that it's a preference, and can be changed to your liking and as you see fit.

GENERAL ADVANCED OPTIONS

CONTEXT BASED ORDER GIVING: OFF #
Turn ON/OFF to set attack/defend orders by simply pressing Q. If set to off, it requires you to hold Q and then select attack/defend.

DOUBLE TAP FORWARD TO SPRINT: OFF #
Double tapping and hold W or your forwards button to sprint. If set to off, it requires you to hold SHIFT or your sprint button down.

DOUBLE TAP FORWARD TO BOOST: OFF #
Double tapping and hold W or your forwards button to boost in vehicles. If set to off, it requires you to hold SHIFT or your boost button down.

JET CHASE CAMERA ROLL: ON #
While in 3rd person and if set to ON, the camera will stay "on top" and behind your jet. If set to OFF, then the camera will be stationary and your jet will roll freely without camera movement.

JET AUTO THROTTLE: ON #
If set to ON then the jet automaticly throttle for you, meaning you do not have to hold W or your forwards button to speed up the jet. You can just hold S or backwards to slow down.

NETWORK SMOOTHING FACTOR: 0%
Smooths movement of players and vehicles, you normally want this set to 0% if you have a rather low latency/ping. Explained in a video here

HIGH-FREQUENCY NETWORK UPDATES: ON/AUTO
The amount of times you recieve an information package from the server you are playing on. If it is set to ON, you will recieve 30 information packets per second from the server. If it is set to AUTO, it will detect your internet bandwith and set it to 10/15/20/30 packages per second accordingly. Setting it to ON, while having a bad connection, might result in packet loss. Explained in great detail here

You can now set the default zoom on your minimap, instead of it always being AUTO on a new round.

ICONS SCALE WITH MINIMAP SCALE: ON #
The bigger size of your minimap, the larger the icons will be in corrolation to the minimap size. I would have this put to on.
