DICE doesn’t understand Leave Well Enough Alone.
You uh… You gave me a “I’m right, you’re wrong” response. Topped with a “deal with it” cherry! It’s almost perfect.
Netcode tells you what it is as well. Netcode = Network Code = Code related to networking. It’s a fabulous word, and I can see why Dice uses it.
Yep, I don’t see why some are trying to turn this into a semantical argument. DICE refers to it so how can it not exist?
No. Netcode = made up term by some youtuber people latched onto.
Dice also used to put netcode in quotation marks when addressing changes because they didn’t know what the hell people were talking about. also it’s headclip not headglitch.
It’s the weekend again and I expect to hit nothing, for some reason my shots register less during this period of the week, no I’m not drunk.
“Used to”. They’ve now adopted the word.

It not only describes network related technologies as a whole, but the word itself also implies exactly what it means. There’s not a single argument that invalidates this.
Yeah that is why I typed used to, sprinkles. “But muh Buzzwerds”
I mean you could just say it simply, the game is made like a POS compared to the ones from years ago. Fits netcode and a bunch of other things in there as well.
Meaning your point is irrelevant.
Made it more relevant since people around here obviously have poor reading comprehension as shown by your post.
I think you got it backwards. How about you read the last few posts again?
I’ll try and help you out.
Dice adopting the word = Dice currently using the word. The point I’m making here, is that Dice now uses Netcode amongst their own vocabulary, and naturally… whether or not they used it in the past becomes irrelevant.
The argument at its core is whether or not “netcode” is a meaningless buzzword. This argument was laid out here:
The aspect I tackled here was that this word did indeed have meaning behind it.
The link I posted shows patch notes which uses “Netcode” as a header for all changes relating to their networking technologies. This link was provided to illustrate their usage of the term, as well as the usefulness of the term. Notably, this term was used as a header to describe the section below it.
I argued that Netcode has a meaning to it, much like “game engine” does. To describe a collection of systems as a whole, which in the case of netcode, describes the networking systems as a whole. This definition was supported by Dice’s usage of the same term. In the example of the page notes, it was used to effectively convey what the section as a whole would be about. It’s likely that Dice chose this term, because the average user also shares this same definition, further emphasizes the usefulness of it.
By the very nature of language, if a word conveys the same concept amongst multiple people, then that word has successfully managed to hold meaning. Therefore, “Netcode” cannot possibly be meaningless… and furthermore, a word with meaning is indeed a word (shocking!).
I hope I cleared things up for you.
Language changes. Humans barely did more than grunt a few thousand years ago.
I’m all for the correct and precise use of language. That does not exclude change. New words are often pragmatic and as long as they are clear and logical, then they are fine.
Someone look up “pedant”.
And a quick visit to any internet forum will show you that 90% of humans haven’t progressed beyond grunting.
People were using the word netcode in 1999, it’s not as new as you think
Shouldn’t be a semantical argument when DICE itself uses the term. The game has severe problems, I was just playing yesterday and on numerous occasions the enemies I kill traded with were either running at me or not even looking in my direction and i get a kill, then half second later somehow it’s a trade. With under 30 ping in every game, I should not be getting this.
