@RaginSamBetween the horrible network compensation and VPNs, some rounds are virtually unplayable. Last night is a perfect example. Joined a crossplay off TDM server, about 7-8 real people and AI backfill. Had a ping of 27 (typical) and an average server latency of 38 (little bit high but normal). Suddenly the server felt slower, and I see the ALAT is now 60, spiking up to 75. When that happens, you know a new player has joined, and sure enough a new player was on the list. This new player could hardly be touched. He quickly was able to catch up to the top of the scoreboard and bullets seemed to just miss him. He wasn’t snapping or anything, I don’t believe he was hacking in any way, but what he was doing was taking advantage of his connection to the game. Why EA / Dice try and accommodate the high ping players by basically punishing everyone else in the server is stupid. Why is there no ping limiter in this game? We used to be able to see it in the scoreboard, you’d know when a 300 ping player came in and know what was going to happen. I can’t hit targets when the average server has a 45 or higher ALAT, so my only choice is to leave and try and find a server that doesn’t have a high ping player. The matchmaking SUCKS. It’s too bad the player count doesn’t allow all players to have a similar ping in a region so they matchmake from outside the regions and that crap has to stop. Fix the netcode, stop high pings, and for Gods sake give us a server browser.
I agree, and to help out people playing the game in less populated areas, just fill in the lobby with AI to start the game instead of bringing in the high ping individuals from other regions if they can't find a game in their area.
