Hit Detection

My internet sucks. The few times it’s below the threshold, I can kill people fine. But when it goes above 160, my shots don’t register or I lose CQ gunfights that I would normally win. I just have to deal with it because I know I’m in the minority.

My internet service is really solid and consistent but I feel like I’m punished for that when I go up against players who have high ping. However, I can totally “game” the system by playing on servers where I’m just under the threshold for client side hit detection but still have a high ping. It’s really obvious because I begin to get a lot of “wtf” hate mail when I do it.

Uk player ..20 ping … I’ve started using other server’s than the eu one …my ping goes upto 85/90 I get better games I can feel the shots hit me now rather than ohk ..being punished for a better connection is wrong. ..so many people playing on out of area servers just to get the advantage is wrong ..if you can’t beat em join em…

I’ve generally been the opposite. I seem to die on the first bullet, than hear the bullet sounds after. Happens far too often. Like you, my ping is always in 20s, and I always play in region.

That’s why. Try playing out of region and you’ll notice that doesn’t happen anymore.

Playing on a nearly empty server last night 4v4 one guy was oor with a ping of 180 couldn’t touch him. Moved like Jedi, I’d get the drop on him but he’d do the Ali shuffle and blow me away. Rest of the guys no problem fair fight.
Really hits home that’s somethings not right and takes away the motivation to play.

Tried that a few times. One of five was a good experience.

Doesn’t work well for me either. Playing in region has been the best for me. DICE still needs to fix their servers though.

The fact that your internet “sucks” should have absolutely no bearing on anyone else’s experience. However DICE, in their infinite wisdom continue to make games where this exact issue is a guaranteed constant.

Please understand this is definitely not a jab at you, you can only get whatever internet is available.

It’s DICE and their crazy compulsion to try and please literally ever single player rather than the majority.

It has never worked, and it never will.

Was playing a bit of the campaign and the hit detection isn’t great there either. That or a high pinger got into my campaign. Check out the enemy that can’t be killed. Lol! It’s all good!

There’s a campaign?

Yes. And they should have settled with that, and started working on bad company 3!

No offense taken. I was just sharing my experiences. My ping fluctuates between 140 - 170. When it’s below the threshold, I can hold my own. When it goes above, my k/d goes super negative because I’m on sshd.

My point is, not everyone with a high ping has an advantage.

Thanks, man. B)

This video IMO doesn’t show anything wrong with hit detection. What it does show is effects such as spread. Even though your crosshairs are on the target, you can still miss due to spread. There were also shots where the crosshairs weren’t on target as well.

So, if anything, this video is a great educational tool to educate those who don’t understand some of the game’s features. Great video. Thanks. :slight_smile:

Yeah he missed. lmao!

No problem. Not really complaining. It is what it is , simple. As far as missing because of spread let’s be real. When the other enemies run in front of that one I’m aiming at all of a sudden there is no spread and they die? Lol! That video is edited. There’s another 30 seconds prior to what I posted showing that enemy sinkung into the bridge and eating bullets. I’m not upset, thought it was funny. Also have a clip earlier in that level where I shoot at a enemy tank and 14 shots ricochet off of it. Side shots, front, back, every one ricochet s off.

Its just that 90% of the playerbase doesn’t understand the features and the gamemechaniks in this game..

Good thing that dice have two guys in the entire world, that understand how it really works. So they can educate the rest of us :wink:

I’m glad you are learning.

They say everytime you learn something an angel gets it’s wings.
