We’re in the 21st century now, so perhaps programmers could figure out how to even the scales, between A and B. Even Mario Brothers is quicker, now. ---

Wouldn’t that leave plenty of servers for no ping limits? ---

Wouldn’t that leave plenty of servers for no ping limits? They had ping limits in BF1, for all of two weeks. Just like TTK 2, a little bit of crying and Dice removed it. But those two weeks really stood out, was amazing hoa well the game felt. Now in BFV, it feels 100X worse. ---

Just played in a Euro server with 160 latency. TTD felt much better, but TTK was really bad. Experiment over. ---

But I think it only lasted for about 5 days. ---

I don’t believe that is a fair assessment of Rev, He has tirelessly tried to educate those of us that don’t understand the coding and how the game works, I for one commend him for his efforts. ---

I don’t have no problem with the guy I’m just saying I know what my experience in this game is like and there is no denying that I’ve been killed many times where the hit indicator did not reflect actual direction the person was shooting me from. I try to focus more on sound then the indicator but sometimes it’s tricky. I just don’t like being talked to like an idiot as I’m sure he does not either. I’ve played many games with hit indicators and this is the only one that is busted like this. I don’t care the reason I care that it’s not fixed. As far as what I see and the enemy sees being 2 different things I have that happen with pretty much every shooter ever so I get that but the indicator deal is a total new issue to me and I don’t remember it being busted at launch but we also didn’t have kill cam to reassure you that there was an issue. ---

> [@Rev0verDrive](#): > > Drop a video of the issue. Get more eyes on it. I’ll try to remember. It’s not consistently doing it. It doesn’t happen every time someone shoots me it’s just here and there but I’ll try to remember to save a clip. ---

I don’t remember this happening to me in battlefield 1 and I don’t think it happened when I 1st bought game I think after one of the patches they released it started doing it. Pretty sure when they made footsteps overly loud that’s when it started. ---
