Hit reg issues, TTK vs TTD inconsistency.
Just left another game for the same reason as i left the last 3 games. you can shoot a whole clip on an enemy, well aimed, only getting 2 or 3 hitmarkers, the enemy turns around, 1 or 2 bullets and i...

Agreed @cornybbq2 ,
This is a massive problem for most of the players still and needs urgent fix for the game to be worthwhile coming back to and play it more...
One of the reasons for the bullet sponging we are many to observe may be to the fact that EA actually have not set up sufficient servers in proximity of the players geographic locations. Ake for what we have heard feedback on so far: No servers for South America, no servers for South Africa, no servers for the Middle East, no servers for ANZ, no servers to cover the Asia Pacific region Singapore, India... (think though we have servers in Japan?).
But as EA/DICE have very conveniently removed the function for us to have any server browser in the game, we dont know with absolute certainty our own latency to the server we may be thrown onto and we have zero visibility either to the latency on the players also on the same server...
We do however have some insights into the current state, as aka in the Portal we can see the latency to the various Portal servers that we have ability to join for our gaming experience. And here I have aka many servers in the 120-180ms range, and some even much much higher than that, namely above 180-200ms (I am based in CET region). With such poor connectivity quality, then bullet sponging is a consequence.
@CyberDyme Very good points. I was thinking the same while in Portal yesterday. Like OP said, I'd be lighting someone up, they turn and drop me in an instant. It's a clear sign of lag/latency issues. At least in my FPS experience. And yeah, the Portal servers often have yellow or worse pings on many of them. I was playing the Conquest of Ages playlist. Like you said, who knows what server I was put into or the ping times of anyone in there, myself included.
Yeah I been experiencing it too and has made me lose more gunfights than I can count. This wont even be fixed until after new year now either which is BS, server browsers really need to come back. I mean it should have been in from the get go anyways
