I did not put much thought about the ping, lag, netcode etc… issues with BF4. It was the nature of the game and it is what it is. There was nothing I could do about it. So I played because I enjoyed playing, especially with my clan and friends. However, I just finished a game where 90% of the enemy was OOR player. I was massacred at every single engagement, even if I have the drop on the enemy. There was nothing I could do. I try not to get frustrated because it’s just a game for enjoyment. But this time I was becoming frustrated and was not having fun.
I keep telling myself not to let this game get to me…works for 5 min..ps4 just needs more games. .bf4 Is unfixable
You say it’s a game for enjoyment yet …you were being killed not because the player was better than you but because they had a clear advantage over you because of high ping oor bullshit!! That’s not enjoyment ..let’s keep this thread rolling guys we deserve answers and I’m sure if we keep this up we will get one .
I hope U are wrong…
Even with more game what will we play with out a FPS…???
Calll?
Homefront?
they have to figure out some way to make it work balanced because for me
If they dont deliver this hardline will be the same bull
At this point I got my answer already…When someone admitted there was some “perks and advantages”
What I need is a solution for the actual state of things…
I think even worst than the Lag compensation those guys get is THE OVERLOAD THE SERVER HAS TO ENDURE WITH 2 FULL SQUADS OF LAGGERS…
Have anyone tryed to play domination of 64 slots with the opposite team being South american not just brazil, but Argentina e colombia…
The game seemed to be running like a slide show most of the times…
They will need to do something about South America firstly. If ping limits do come (I still have every doubt), my ping NY to Brazil (for example) is 225 ms. A ping cap would need to be lower then that to make a difference and then you still have the current lag compensation scheme favoring dial up. And yes, it’s not a troll threat to say I am done if no changes come. I simply cannot justify additional purchases on DLCs and games to be an easy target for an OOR.
I keep thinking about the ping cap…
I think It would only be fair to implement this on Private servers but also releasing more servers for us to rent…And Admis cap it at their will…in the end it would be a win\win situation
If they do it to all servers even better but then I think It would be the problem where Microsoft and Sony Policies kick in
Yes I agree but South America is hosting servers in every region now. I guess ‘enter at your own risk’ would be the motto there. When I server browser my local (east coast US) I often have no other option but to jump in to their rented servers. Granted, when I do jump on a DICE server (east coast US), it’s all South American players anyway. In game we have EAST US and WEST US. In BL there is NORTH AMERICA and SOUTH AMERICA. South America shows no active servers. Just give South America the West US and name it South America. I have zero issue playing with someone from the west coast US and them with me. In any event, any changes must include South America having servers and then a ping lock would force them to stay there - rented anyway.
For real Ispy, North Americans can learn to share a server if it will get South America out of our hair.
Amen!
yeah, it seems like a “possible solution” to alienate a portion of their customer base because of where they live or what they can afford.
Please explain how changing west coast US to South America is alienation? While you are at it, please tell me why my game play should go to the dogs based on someones high ping.
No one forced you to live where you live. If you live in an area with bad internet, why should the rest of the world suffer because of you? That’s the most selfish statement I have ever heard.
If you want warm weather, you don’t stay living in Alaska… you move. If you want good internet… you don’t live in in the middle of no where… you move. Simple as that.
Regardless, you would still be able to play on official servers. But we should have the option to keep you laggers out of our private servers, because you ruin the gameplay experience for EVERYONE. You’ve had the advantage the whole first 8 months of this game, considering it’s life span is pretty much almost over, that means you had it for the majority of the games life. Quit bitching, you were lucky for a long time but your luck is about to run out.
Also, your statement about what players can afford is the worst arguement I have ever heard. Maybe if you have bad internet, you should spend less time playing battlefield and more time working.
Just a failure to convey the idea that I am actually looking out for other players. If ping limits arrive or if the lag compensation no longer favors poor speeds, South America (for example) will be region less in all regions. This is why it would be very beneficial to all that they are given their own servers (as they should in the first place.) I made the suggestion that we rename west coast US to South America. No cost involved in that and I do not think anyone in the US has issue with another other player across the entire US. My ping from NY to LA is 80ms or so. Not a problem for me or them. My ping to Brazil spikes to 250 ms. That is a problem and that is what they bring to our servers along with very poor speeds.
Just been doing a few ping tests from my area ,west England
Cancun,Mexico 194ms
Toronto,Canada 133ms
Joburg s.africa 281ms
Rio de Janeiro Brazil 612ms (LOL)
Tokyo 407ms
Sao paulo Brazil 612 ms
Hmmm these guys playing on EU servers could cause issues …
I support OP all the way
OUCH!!! lol I never seem to have issue with Brits though. Great bunch of guys most of you are in the first place. Very tactical and polite about it
