I know I’m not bad at this game, but after the Apocalypse update - even after I got used to the terrible shot lag issue - I can’t even come close to a positive kill/death. I used to be in the top 5 almost every match, with a ton of MVP medals, but now, I die in no more than two shots by ANY other weapon, while mine still take the same amount of shots. This . is getting old. I play the objectives and play well, but the game just keeps getting more and more stupid. Why can’t they stop messing it up? ---

You’re right; even if I wasn’t getting killed from across the map in two shots by everything from pistols to assault weapons, there’s no excuse for the massive frame drops while just hitting another player with my weapon. I’m not some all star player by any means, but the last update has literally made it impossible for me to compete. And that’s garbage, in my opinion. ---

To be fair it’s not a huge mess the game actually feels a lot smoother for me and frames per second is staying high … but introducing an almost game breaking stutter it’s pretty amateur ---

I’m not some all star player by any means, but the last update has literally made it impossible for me to compete. And that’s garbage, in my opinion. For me the most frustrating part is my friends having absolutely no clue how bad it really is, as none of them have the frame drop and severe lag issues, me getting murdered and guys stealing lots of cheap kills off me. What I’ve figured out, is that it’s best to play Medic & Scout, rather than Assault or Support. And try not to use the Fedorov when playing medic, but rather the 1907 Trench. You still get stuttering galore, but your screen freezes a bit less. I honestly don’t know how I kept on playing, guess I did it for my friends. ---

That’s the crazy thing - I get kills on one person, but Lord help me if anyone else is nearby because the frame drops make them invincible. ---

I freeze for 2 seconds every time I get a kill. ---
