Are EA ever gonna do anything about the Japanese

Is he?

If I were truly a troll, then why am I still here?

Answer: I am not a troll.

Or are you calling this forum’s mods incompetent?

What say you?

Battlefield 4 is indeed better than destiny and cod advanced warfare.

It is indeed better although the it does have flaws indeed. Hopefully dice listen to the hardcore demographic who indeed keep this game alive and kicking.

Lag seems to be worse at UK night time.

I own all 3 and have put good amount of time in all 3 titles.But BF4 hands down with all it’s shizznit and giggles is still leagues beyond AW&Destiny.

Indeed, all 3 are great games that cater to the casual gamer demographic.

BF4 however, is the most broken of the 3.

Ironic, given how BF4 has been out the longest, yet still has the most unresolved issues.

The main issue being the OOR issue.

I should note I am a UK player in Euro servers but the same problems apply, our servers are usually 70% usa 20% other oor players and 10% Euro but the problems remain the same, I know us servers are full of euro, jappenise etc and I presume euro servers are full of us and Europeans.

The solution is region lock for servers.

If you region doesn’t have a server, then you probably shouldn’t buy that game in the first place.

I know I wouldn’t.

Private or rented servers should have the option to region/ping lock. Servers should also be “rated” by users. Highly rated rented servers should moved to the top of the list of official/ranked servers.

For private servers.OOR could all play on official ones or the ones that dont have region lock

Yes, that would work as well.

Why won’t DICE do this?

DICE logic.

I think ping lock is just as important, players in your own region can still have stupidly high latency

Region/ping locks for console rented/private or otherwise had been shouted to the devs by the hundreds. This was before the big November patch and, though they acknowledged the issue of high ping abuse, lag and etc and stated to make changes, nothing was done that anyone would consider to be a fix by any stretch. HF update did nothing but allow for even more one frame deaths. This is beating a dead horse. The game is broken and always will be. I only posted after so much time off because I could not believe nothing had been improved and nothing I have tested helps. Very sad. Been a BF player since Bad Company and COD is far too arcade for my taste. Zero reason to purchase Hardline. Same mechanics.

I’ve come close to quitting altogether myself but the potential the game has when you do find a decent server keeps me coming back, if the game really was garbage, I wouldn’t bother coming on forums to complain, I would just not play, I think it’s love we have for the franchise that keeps up here hoping for a fix but one things for sure I will not be buying hardline and definitely will not be preordering any dice product again.
I just wonder, someone has put a lot of hard work and love into bf, it must be hard for them for somebody else to take that hardwork and wipe there arse with it before release, must be hard to see something you’ve built up going down the toilet.

Same here man. But nothing else comes close to the variety and enjoyment in this game. When it works, it is great. And for me this is about 80 % of the time it is great. Then the good old high pingers from the other side of the planet crowd the servers. Here is hoping that something is done soon. Even make quick match put you in your own region, that would do for a start.

I agree with you both. BF4 in many ways in the ONLY fps IMO but sadly, it simply is not enjoyable. One frame deaths, bullet soaking enemies and etc tend to spoil the fun to the point of why bother. Not to mention seeing the same far away players going 60-9 in a round of DOM while others struggle just to break even. It’s not legit. Like I said, I stopped playing right after the big patch was found to be yet another let down of many but was shocked to swing back on and see things even worse. No chance I will purchase HL on faith and it looks cool. If anyone recalls the BF4 beta played smooth and LAG free too so, don’t be fooled by the HL beta.

That’s actually a really interesting point - the beta wasn’t the lagfest that the final game is… What happened?

DICE decided to “improve” BF4.

lol,word!

That depends on whom you ask.
I had a fairly good hitreg in the beta while the majority of feedback from other players said that it is horrible and worse than BF3s.
