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](http://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. ---

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.
