I have concluded that this issue is the single greatest problem with this product.
Regardless of what others say, the experience I have is that the code favors xbox players and they can see/fire on me before it even registers in my view. Additionally, some PC players have found a way to survive and get obscene numbers of kills without hardly any deaths. It simply is not possible to get into the thick of the fight and never suffer a death, so its not like they can be stealthy and lurk on the outskirts of the fight. You can't get enough kills as fast as they do. I am constantly picked off by multiple opponents from 3 directions, helis, tanks, spawning right in front of the enemy, etc. How is it these same people perform at the same exact level in every single game I see them in. And yes, I know them by name.
No need to troll me and tell me I don't know how to play and they are just better than everyone, etc ect. Save it. I have well over 2000 hours in this mess and it's safe to say a pattern has been established.
Since the last update, console players have picked me off quickly as well. They are always low-level ones at that. I think the auto-aim mechanic is tuned too high for them or they are using advanced controller techniques(Cronus). Also as a player with an insane amount of hours in the game, there is a noticeable difference in the amount of 'John Wick' players that seem to not die and rack up a lot of kills since the last update and the popularity increased in the game.

Almost unplayable at times atm feels like the worst days of Battlefield 3, you either are a god and can’t die or you are dead before you see the enemies

I love what feels like being 1 shot by someone I cant see. Makes me want to punch the screen

Or say words like "golly gosh", 😁
- TwentyValve3 years agoNew Veteran@hollamf its not auto aim or aim assist or cheating. its plain old lag. but that lag is caused by bad netcode and lag comp.
I'm on console and the majority of my WTF deaths are from PC players. do I think they are cheating, no. its lag.
the "John Wick" players are ones that have lag, the server doesn't know where they are most of the time. they are usually the ones that run and hop/jump constantly. they are exploiting the horrible netcode.- sk1lld3 years agoLegend
If they think I'll buy the next Battlefield game with this kind of customer service their sorely mistaken.

Even with bots, I still have TTK issues. In this firefight, I fired 67 times, had 62 Client hits but only 33 at the server? My LAT is 31ms with 13ms TN (why have TN with bots?), and no packet loss. So what is the issue, how can they not know what is causing this?
To me, it seems like the server tick rate of 45Hz has a lot to do with it. Why not add a server option is Portal for 30 and 60Hz server tick rates? Then use that data to see which one performs better. Then use that one in AOW.
