Yeah so just had my first real experience of an out of region player, if he wasnt out of region it defo was lag compensation.
There was always a slight delay before you could hit him by that time you where dead. He would sometimes appear invisible for a split second or it was like a stutter! It didnt help he was using a shot gun and he was killing with one shot from a good distance( he wasnt using slugs).
I even resorted to using a shot gun as well but even then id put 3 rounds in him from close range and i would still be killed first it was ridiculous even my mate couldnt down him. The closest i got was a 98 kill assist. Just sheer frustration!
Well first DICE needs to create servers for all countries before region locking…if I had servers on my own country I wouldn’t bother playing out of regions as Asian servers have low ping bar in my country.
I take it the guy with 53 kills that most of the team couldn’t kill isn’t an issue? Im pretty accurate and I know how quickly I usually kill a guy but this guy was unkillable. Id like to add that I did infact have the defensive perk on too but i was being insta killed by this guy.
Ive started doing this on mine, what a difference it makes.
Well, having said that, I tend to leave most US players unless there is some actual issue, for whatever reason, they GENERALLY don’t seem to mess up the game as much.
Any brazil or any Southern hemisphere, far East too - and the server plays like all your guns have been immediately insta-nerfed
Its horrible ive noticed it a lot more recently, one of the things i hate is you see his health bar drop as you shoot him then he suddenly just stops taking damage and you die and hes left with some health. Theres even been times where ive stopped shooting and moved on to another target because ive put that much bullets into someone lol.
do you mean each continent to have their own region?, and if you are from Saudi Arabia aren’t you meant to ply in asian servers but if there was african servers that would be better for you
true BF vets have been dealing with this issuse for a decade, just since DICE dumbed down BF for BF3 did everyone start playing and it became more prevelant. . However, you’re not a “Battlefield Veteran” until you can compensate for the lag you’re seeing, and aim ahead of ‘skippy’ and be able to kill them.
I’m still trying to get my head around, “my first real experience of an out of region player.” Come play with us in the US. It’s Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, France, etc and an actual American here and there. This game - because of the OOR issue - has gone to the dogs! High ping and low bandwidth wins.
I have that same experience as an OOR player on an Aussie server, even in region I get the same things. I went an entire game with the invisible team, and my perosnal favorite is the teleporting player. Ever think it could be the broken game, or bad server? I mean seriously, you don’t even know if the guy was OOR or not.
Believe it or not there are players that are that good, check out Awry’s games some time.
No offense taken at all man, I’d prefer if you banned me, I’ve seen a lot of people in the forums complaining about OOR players so probably best to keep servers to regions.
Had 2 Americans call me racist tonight and said they would get my server banned, oh well
Yeah but listen, I’m American. But one of my friends and favorite person to play with is in the UK. While I’m either playing in a Euro server with him, or he is in a US server with me, neither of us has had many instances where the lag compensation has affected our game play. It does mainly come down to internet connection. Wheather you have “good” or “bad” internet providers. But I will say, South Americam internet connections for OOR has got to be the worst in the world. I don’t die near as much behind corners from Europeans in a US server as I drastically do from a Brazil, Chile, venezuela, etc.
No. I don’t think it could be a broken game. Why? Because it is not broke for the OOR going 42-2 in Domination is it?
Yes. There are very good players in this game but day in and day out we see players with high ping (Japan for example) or dial-up speeds (South America for example) simply dominate. This game uses latency based lag compensation and the higher your ping, the more you are compensated.
I start with 100% health and in the nano second it takes me to press R1, I am dead when facing a poorly connected. Why is that when it is a local player, I hear my player grunt and I see the rounds coming at me? Why is it that a poorly connect can take 1/2 a clip to the face, drop you with one shot and walk on with 0 damage? Such things do NOT occur when facing local players. The lag compensation is out of whack and everyone knows it. Stop saying everyone is just gooder or the game is broken.
That is a good point. I had OOR banned on my server(but my server never works), i would get a lot of hatemail for kicking/banning people who were oor. Constantly getting called racist, or git gud nub and so on. Even if i was on their team…
I would also kick people who had a horrible connection too if it was extreme.
Sorry, I thought you knew, I only say it 500 times in the forums, that though American I play OOR on US West servers. Why? First I get a 4 bar connection and not the 1-2 bar connection here in Asia. Second I speak English and not Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Lao, Thai, etc.
That said I go back to my before mentioned comments that even OOR I have all the same problems that you are complaining about. If your theory was correct my K/D should be 4 or 5. I am not seeing the advantage here.
