Re: Network Manipulation

Console players connect to the internet with wifi which causes ping time fluctuations. Battle(Non)Sense did a video showing ping time fluctuations cause bundled bullet damage and cuts the time to death in half.

Console players also have 25% less recoil which also translates into less bullet spread. This means less bullets miss the target.

I believe these are the two big reasons console players insta-kill people and appear laggy.

Not to mention that lag compensation tries to make everything 'fair' by delaying the network packets of low ping players so high ping players have a 'fighting chance' against low ping players.

This is all crazy

First, console players say PC players have an advantage. Now PC players are starting conspiracies about console players having an advantage.

No game will ever be perfect, or please any player. I highly doubt EA is manipulating anything in the game. The game is just full of bugs more than the average game out there. It was never properly built, and it's slowly been getting band-aid fixes. It will probably improve, but remember it won't ever be perfect or please everyone.

i've been playing online games for over 20 years. Everything you see where someone dies after the fact or hits don't register that's just lag and dead spots in registering the hit. there are 128 playets at once in the game. You have to remember that's a lot of people on a server with different connections.

There are so many glitches in this game, I could take anyone on a tour in a heli and show them, but it's not my job to report them. I don't get anything for it.

I do believe that new weapons that do come out are purposely overpowered on purpose, like the VHX. This is the only manipulation I think is happening. It actually makes sense to do that to have them tested, and since people paid money to get the new weapon fast. They want to please them and have them spending more money. But that's not conspiracy. That's just business.

I actually find that EA is making the game worse. It was actually ok around seasons 5 and 6. Now they just keep changing stuff around, never getting the full balances right. They're 2 years too late now.

EA and Dice just drip feed content, make it look like they care, keep the game in a healthy playable state untill the next BF comes out. That's their plan, it's not rocket science to figure out just look at the content. For example, only 13 maps hardly any effort went into this game. Again it's just bussiness with them their very easy to figure out.

The server doesn't always update your damage right away. Like I'll peek a player, hit them with 10 bullets, and I can hear the head shot sounds, go back into cover, then I'll get the feed that I killed them. Happens quite a bit. So it's like a buffer, checking to make sure I hit those shots and then the server confirming that player was in fact killed. There's at times a 1-2 second delay when it's checking.

The problem with 1v1's is that it feels like the server is taking a longer time to check my shots versus the other player. I'm watching a hallway, an enemy walks in, I start shooting first while landing my shots, they then react and shoot back, if they can land shots before the server checks my shots, they win. Like there's a buffer or something if that makes sense?

Yeah, it's frustrating. I will not play anymore because of this. And it's very noticeable that low level console players get this kind of advantage often.

But whoever said console players connect on wifi, lol. Only slouching, drooling, unshowered console players sit on a couch and play Battlefield on a tv over wifi. Any competent console player is going to be sitting at a desk and hardwired just like a PC player.

Aim assist isn't server side.

Is mouse input server side? Did you they did a server-side "fix" for mouse input? Can you explain that? 

There is something completely bassackwards with this game. For whatever reason, almost match to match, I can feel a tangible difference, yet nothing has changed on my end. There is a lot more server-side stuff going on, and it's because of crossplay.
