@Adamonic you're probably right about lag compensation punishing low ping players. Battlefield 1 has a special lag compensation setting to help out low ping players.
It says, "Enable if you have low ping and other players are jittery." Does bundles bullets count as jitter? It might!
I read about how lag compensation works. It time travels high ping players into the future. It's weird stuff. Playing with a high ping can feel smoother and give you increased reaction time too.

...and that's exactly how MY BF2042 feels.
I am 0.1 seconds in the past
and or
My opponents are 0.1 seconds in the future
It's crazy and frustrating.
What I always notice:
1.) When I push around the corner with a low ping (~12ms), it seems as if the opponent has been waiting for me for a LONG time. They just sit there with their visors up and kill me very easily.
2.) When I play with high ping (70ms to 150ms) it seems like the opponents are completely surprised and everything feels right.
It's not normal what dice is doing to us.
