Didn’t say I was happy or not..nor did I say I was satisfied with the performance of it. It’s certainly good enough to have over 900 hours played, and over 2,000 in BF3 which was just about the same experience. I don’t try to limit other people’s ability to explore…that’s the difference. I have friends with all different online specs. I’ve played with them for years now. I’m definitely opposed to your way of thinking.
If the high pingers don’t get advantage then why do half the rented PC servers lock ping then.The only people who say they don’t get an advantage are the out of region idiots.
I started playing a couple of weeks ago… I carefully picked the servers, filtered out all OOR servers and only chose games with good connection…
… And i wondered why i was getting brazilian players, why i was being insta-killed by enemies, why i would register hitmarkers and see that the enemy wtill had 100 health, why i would empty a clip on a guy and he would not die but he could just turn back and kill me with no problems at all…
But i thought, hey i guess i’m just late for this party, everyone here already knows how to play, i’m the noob so this should be normal, they all have better gun control, better weapons, better accuracy, i just have to suck it up and get better…
Here i was thinking that servers with better connection would have less lag and would make for a better experience… I guess i’m not only a noob, i’m also naive…
But the Brazilians have the absolute worst effect on U.S. servers and they have no region of their own.
Technically, they’re not region hopping, so what’re they going to do about that?
Ethylene no doubt loves his out of region hopping and looking at one of your previous comments trying to tell everyone DSL connections don’t suffer contention as much as fibre is a complete utter utter lie.
Never in the history of online FPS has latency not mattered. I don’t care how sophisticated the lag compensation scheme is, there is no way I will ever be convinced that a policy of allowing anyone from anywhere into any server is providing the best possible experience.
Why even bother having regions in the server browser or ping bars for that matter? What do they even mean, really ?
I will never understand how some of you believe that lag compensation was ever designed to account for the range of pings that we have in this game in one match.
very true … played in a couple matches this AM … was getting funny results and aim trajectories … looked at gamertags … examples similar to:
XxX_juanpablo_BR_XxX
BR_Carlos
and others wearing BR tags
switched out of server into another … things got back to normal …
Only thing to blame is EA … its 2014 and if they are not willing to admit that out of region and high ping does not cause goofy results, then they need to rethink who is working on their servers and their software and hardware engineering depts …
PIng limit cap the servers and ping display in the scoreboard, at least let the game die with some dignity before all those pricks emigrate to Hardline…
If this is not implemented even future releases will suffer from the same again and again…
One thing is match making 12 vs 12 another thing is try (and not succeeding) matchmaking 32 vs 32…
I never said it would be easy but still how hard can it be to but ppl within pngs range…
If U dont qualify with the monster ping U have, bye bye…
Whatever - beyond sick of you. You have all the answers always and yet DICE says high pings are causing issues and they need to look into it. Same reason why they are telling people not to use Quick Match now. OOR dbags such as yourself (admittedly) bring high ping and knock the sync all to hell but you know all and have all the answers.
