Parachute, input delays, and the overall feel of the game

I've now died numerous times to my parachute not deploying, even though I'm spamming the hell out of my space bar. This is one of the most obvious problems with the input delay in this game and the parachute not deploying showcases it perfectly.

In general, the games responsiveness needs some major attention. If not 2042, whatever the next game is, but it needs to be noted and voiced.

One of the main reasons why I play video games in general is how it feels to play them mechanically. For the most part I enjoy BF2042, but the input delays are a huge source of frustration. Sometimes my gun won't fire for a full second, parachute won't deploy, tactical sprint won't engage, etc. There's just something very off. I don't remember feeling like this in other BF games.

Standing on the edge of geometry shakes your screen badly. Some of the animations are way over exaggerated, like Liz reloading her rocket. The tactical sprint makes you feel like a box, and something I've always hated about COD games. It's always pushing you wide when you're turning in really weird way.

To sum up this mess of a thread:

- Stop using COD as inspiration for movement. I always thought BF games were infinitely smoother and felt way better to play.

- The input delay needs to be acknowledged and fixed in upcoming titles.

- Chill on some of the animations.

  • @RaginSamYou sound like me bitching to my party earlier today, I was having the exact same issues. The input is especially bad, R for reload? Nah you didn’t mean to push R 5 times trying to reload, you’re crazy.

    I’m constantly spamming reload and tactical sprint, usually only takes 3-4 times! Lol

    Yep it is so infuriating and regularly gets me killed, calling for medic is the same for me it is so hit and miss.

    @RayD_O1 This weekend was especially bad for west coast servers. 29 ping, every round I was behind the action. From over 20 kills per round in AOW on Friday night, to being lucky to break 10 in a round. You know it’s not working right when you ADS on a target and watch your bullets going behind them and slightly left. Geez.
  • The parachute problem has increased again, I have to agree. At the beginning of BF2042, it was a common problem, then it was fixed somewhere, now it is back again. 

    And yes, everything feels a little bit delayed, the worst example for me are the grenades, if someone is shooting at me and I want to throw a smoke grenades it takes too long until I throw it and too long until I can shoot again... 

    But the grenade problem is intentional I think, the problem with the parachute is a bug.

    Like pressing the fire "left mouse button" and nothing happens press two more times and still nothing.

    This game is a mess right now.

    Parachute has always deployed properly for me (PS5) but it kind of feels/appears like you're falling slower than you actually are which can lead to problems

    Pretty sure that happened in the same round that my parachute wouldn't deploy. Which got me mad enough to start this thread lol.

    I'm not sure what's happening with the gun not firing. Like the server sees the other guy killed you way before you even saw them? I heard the enemy running towards me while I was behind cover, I think that I even tried to pre-fire them, and as he appeared on my screen I was definitely holding the mouse button down, and nothing. I just died staring at him.

    The other more common problem I have is my gun sputtering when going full auto. It kinda makes me think that some actions are tied to server when they shouldn't be.
