Do you have any more news about this rumor? Sorry to call it that but you understand I am sure. In addition, do you think those in power are aware of the daily postings about OOR/LAG/High Ping Abuse? The game is really becoming unplayable when trying to play local. ---

Dude keep pushing it I know it is a no man’s land… But from my perspective it is already lost so keep pushing their buttons The game will play randomly as it is, worst than randomly is constant playing with lagturds which is a fact after the cte it only got worst… In europe around 9p.m. is time for the south america and around 11p.m. middle east so between 11pm and 3 am is a bucking mess around here … Normally I can play a bit in the afternoon when is random, but in my day off I like to play with friends and it is simply not worth it…Irather play alone in the afternoon than raging all the time with friends… The smaller maps like domination ro squad death math are always BUT ALWAYS filled with these PR1CK$ Ping lock\cap the private servers Ping display (in numbers) in scoreboard for better server management If Dice do this I bet forums will be loosing more than 50% of complaints Bet U all ---

I really don’t get it ! Why, the hell, can’t they give us an answer about the ping feature for Consoles ? Pretty much all of their efforts are useless if the servers are filled with out of régions or lagger player. ---

US servers generally speaking are all EU players in the AM, South American players from noon onward and then around 9 PM, Japan flocks over. It’s brutal. In any event, why do we even need to go limits and locks (which I agree with)… why not simply dial back the latency based lag compensation? This way, players that are poorly connected/far away lag and not players who have strong connections/local? Flips the tables and players will stop going OOR on their own At the very least, they could allow console players to see player ping and admins that promote fairness can ban/kick accordingly. COD has it so it can be done. ---

That’s why we need it!! Admins can clean the servers from those players. ---

COD has it so it can be done. Lag compesation has to exist always in an online game, why ? well I am no expert to explain it to you but from I read it is absolutely needed… Along the enoumerous posts I read there was someone who posted the reasons and explained it In Bf4 the problem is that is to much it gives to much advantage to the lagturds… They should tone it down in such a drastic way that lagturds sould be so much in disadvantage that they would CRY and RAGE for better connection… It is impossible for them to get better connection _“oh well boggers”_ So if lag compensation is not going anywhere (and IMO it would not “fix” the issue because they would STILL be in gameplay with dial ups) the best way is PING LOCK\CAP THE PRIVATE SERVERS PING DISPLAY (IN NUMBERS) IN SCOREBOARD FOR BETTER SERVER MANAGEMENT ---

Has anyone ever seen them give a legitimate official response to any of the millions of questions about ping limits and what a lack of them is doing to the performance of the game? ---

Lag comp is suppose to bring balance - not complete advantage or disadvantage. It needs a tweak. As I said, if my ping is 30 ms and yours is 300 ms, you should lag behind, not me. It’s out of whack. @Abusive_Red75. Yes, they said ping limits cannot be done on console and that high ping is not really an issue. You just did not shoot first in so may words. What a joke! I don’t have the link on me but that was the basic run down. I think the noise level is growing and something needs to be done. ---

LOL another reason not to buy BFH cause that game will have the same lag issues like BF4. high ping not really an issue WTF. they should listen to the feedback. DICE is so ignorant and arrogant, Its like BF3 input lag, first they blame the players , then they said it isnt there and finally after almost 300 days they came with a patch. and that patch was so broken that only people with LCD tvs could play and people with other tv or monitors had extra input lag, so you see guys how DICE is listening to us, make them listen with our money, dont preorder BFH or other games. Wait till december they give you 30% discount like they did in BF4, we paid full price 6 weeks later discount hahaha ---

I agree. I just no longer see a reason to invest when the game is so unbalanced. That really bothers me because 1. BF is the only FPS in my book and 2. We don’t have many other options in the FPS market. COD is far too arcade and I have no interest in shooting monsters and goblins lol ---

It has to be louder than this… I have been bitching and complaining and (cant find more words to describe it) even before private serves were implemented i specifically asked for region lock ( which as someone opened my eyes is not good enough ping cap is the way to go) what did they deliver? SERVERS AT THE COST OF 60 EUROS\90 DAYS WITH CUSTOM MAP ROTATION which will not populate unless you put locker every other map (dont know if it is correct the expression) and i found a server like this it is german but the bucking southern americans already find it, also so forget it . yesterday venezuela and argentina was all the way there Regarding the ping limit they dont do it because they JUST DONT WANT TO!!! Private servers will not go against any Policy BECAUSE THEY ARE PRIVATE ---

In the past 2 weeks alone, there has been over 15 threads on the subject. I would scream about this months back and was hit with the childish, ‘get gooder’, ‘learn to aim’, ‘mad cuz bad’ nonsense. The cat is out of the bag and this issue can no longer be mocked, denied or ignored! I will speak with my wallet. I see no reason to invest in the next tittle if I am lagged a full second behind the action and punished for having high speed and playing local. ---
