One thing that I have learned from my gaming life it it is 27 years and counting was: Games are about patterns and the ability for One overcome those patterns by reflexes The first step is to recognize and unconsciously retain that pattern inside the second one is overcome those patterns through reflexes… At this point BF4 is broken at these two points which defines gaming the patterns are broken due the laggy players and Lag Compensation as I stated before: while Your brain will assume your opponent is there and will be there a a few ms/sc!nanoseconds whatever in reality the game engine tells You otherwise… the second step will fail at the beginning because you are already tricked by the game engine In this whole scenario the most important things that makes the games fun turns this game in the most rage inducing game that I can recall… The last time I remember raging about a game was Vanquish and that was only against AI and in the end I beat it to the end This game … leave in blank so ppl can continue ---

Hit it on the head…how can I compensate and adjust if what I’m seeing on my screen isn’t what the server is going to say is happening. …you can’t improve under these conditions ---

> [@](#): > > _alcatraz669 said:_ > It’s all about the lag..who is on the good side of it and who is on the bad end of it…every FPS since MW3 has been this way…every round is a roll of the DICE (pun intended) i had to give up playing cod4 after the anti lag patch on consoles, before it was nice and in sync, shot first got the kill, no killed around corners, etc rarely see players warping about, then overnight one patch turned it into an out of sync mess. iw must have done it to appease the masses (crappy internet) as before this patch there were a lot of complaints about not being able to play the game properly yet if you had good internet it was perfect. haven’t played that many fps since then, but they’ve all been the same AN OUT OF SYNC MESS ---

Abusive\_Red 10 points 14 hours ago Tiggr you’ve probably been asked this a million times, but could you please comment on the possibility of ping limits on console? Everyone wants to know what the deal is with this, and even if it was only available on rented servers it would be a game changer for us. Thanks. permalink tiggr 11 points 12 hours ago We’re looking at both ends of this problem. One being having a high ping gives you specific perks over low ping players (making region hopping something you want to do) - netcode is going to make this less of an issue. But that might not be enough, and then we’d need a way to let server owners control this (as it is very much asked for). ---

Warframe has a ping limit option, but it’s only on pc & ps4. The route of evil comes from Microsofts ridiculous policy, unfortunately as it stands ping limit can’t be implemented on bf4. ---

Just because Warframe have ping limit option and not BF4 means that it’s M$ fault ? GG dude. That’s a great deduction. ---

At this point I dont care who I dont care who and why is stopping this!!! I just want to see it fixed!!! Through ping cap, lag compensation removed region lock whatever… Sometimes I have little time to play and spending 40 minutes looking for one server reasonable enough to play JUST ONE ROUND because some nomad fromthe bucking desert joined the server through quick match that is the cherry on top of the cake FUN yes it is fun…when someone is in the limiar of madness we find normal things FUN ---
