Need your help on fixing a shot placement/lag issue

I’m playing BF4 on ps4 and I’m having to lead my shots way to far. I don’t think I should have to lead a guy who is running laterally twenty yards away. The game is almost unplayable unless a guy is standing still or running towards me. I am connected with an Ethernet cable and am at 45 download and 5.5 upload. Please help, it’s beyond frustrating and I have many n00bs to pwn.

What is your ping?

Download/upload speeds usually don’t mean much when it comes to online gaming, it’s mostly based on ping latency.

Head over to speedtest.net and see what your ping is. Anything below 100 is playable, but below 50 is optimal.

Lol my ping is 12. Wtf

I’m assuming it was a lag issue. What else could this be?

Yeah, if your ping is that low then I would say it’s most likely not your issue. Try recording an example of it happening and posting it on here, maybe we can help more.

I will. Thanks a lot I appreciate it.

Going to server browser and picking one in my region helped. I was always going to quick match. Thanks for your help I appreciate it.

I chose a gun with a better range too. I think that increases the bullet speed.
