I knew from my readings in the forum that controllers have their problems like M&K.
From PC side, Dice worked on it and M&K seems better, but we still have problems and we still suffer from strange false mouse inputs... Soo i guessed it was mostly the same with controllers.
My question was most about the variations. When a system fails, it usually do something garbage.. but it may do a miracle.
@erickonasis32 I don't know anything about your settings on consoles, "70/20" you can adjust different levels?
In this case it might be impossible to find how to reproduce what 've seen.
On M&K i have seen on rare occasions my shot do weird lucky hit, and thought: "hum, thanks Dice the hitmox is a joke or the server is laggin but from here i thought this shot was a miss."
Soo i asked myself, do controller users have sometimes this feeling about aim assist, like "it's borderline working 99% of the time, but one shot over 10000 is godlike".
Ok all of this discussion wouldn't change anything about the game, we would prefer a stable system i think we all agree. This is more a philosphical question, to undersatnd how it works.
Thanks you all guys for your answers.
Framerate on PC is really bad too. My PC is 4 years old but still decent (I7 7700 / GTX 1070 / 32Go ram), it runs well most of the games i play with, except this BF. All on lower graphics 1080p i have huge frame drops and 128 players is unplayable for me.
In BF2042 most PC players have really low FPS and can be compared to last gen consoles. Some PC players have an advantage but most of the time it's not as huge as you seems to think.
But yes, if you get a 5000€ PC from daddy and internet with optic fibre, you will score a lot and claim that you have more skill than others on Twitch...

It's another subject, but i've read that the guys from Dice who created the Frosbite Engine at Dice all left the studio slowly years after years. And now Dice struggle with their own engine... Don't know if it's true mbut it seems credible.
@xXHappy_PuppyXxThat makes me wonder how much of a benefit/where the diminishing returns are for FPS when the tickrates for the servers are relatively low (I think 45hz?) when in older games they would be 60+.
(FWIW I run at 4K on a 120hz screen with g-sync turned on, generally average between the 90-120fps range depending on what's going on) - 5900x/3080/32GB DDR4/etc
As i said, most PC players do not have those high end and expensive PCs... I'm far from having 60 stable FPS in this game. I can see going to 90's in best scenarios but i can go bellow 30 in a big fight too...
Yes most PCs can be compared to last gen consoles in performances. And we have the same difficulties against players with thousands of euros PC owners.
But let's stay on the subject of controllers input instead of PCs vs Consoles please.

Increasing your FPS is a huge advantage ingame, server tickerate is another thing.
You have a beastly PC i wish i had one like this, but i would have stay on a 1440p monitor with higher refresh rate (instead of 4K/120Hz) to max out this power beast ingame.
But i guess your pc is not built only to play First Person Shooters.
😇
@l_Grand_Vizir_lOh I know that FPS increases are a big advantage, granted I think in older games the FPS drastically changed your physics and in some cases the amount of dps/damage/bullets that would shoot or the ability to do advanced motion techniques (I played team fortress classic competitively for years, and bunny hopping and grenade jumping, etc was a necessary skill to have).
Correct, it doesn't just play FPS games. I'm fortunate enough to have a PS4/5 and a Switch so I have my pickings of the platform to play different types of games on as well.
But yes, controller input is definitely not my method of choice. Occasional I will 'slum' it when playing with my buddies in Halo when they are all controller players, I still do well (after years of playing FPS games), but not as well as I do with the ol faithful mouse and keyboard 🙂
Oh, and for what it's worth, I appreciate being able to have a conversation without all PC players being accused to be hackers/exploiters/low-skill due to input choice 😉
