The atrocious bad netcode, (Noob Protection)

At this point I don't believe it's anything to do with bad netcode, in fact bad netcode isn't a real thing, just a term that was coined up to explain the absolutely atrocious experience we are all having, unfortunately it's smoke and mirrors, follow the money follow the marketplace, the bigger portion of the community are not good players at all they're casual players, and EA and Dice don't want these players to play the game once and never play again, because that's not good for business nor does it generate extra revenue for grEAdy share holders. 

Ten years of this so called bad netcode, and they've made zero effort to fix it, in fact if anything it only gets worse with each title that is released.

Brings me to the conclusion that the game isn't broken at all, in fact it is working perfectly, ten whole years spanning across six titles, now I'm not the best player in the world but I have played everyday for 18+ years regardless of the BS, (I refuse to beaten I suppose), so you can imagine I'm above average and have the ability to call BS when I see it, unfortunately that's 95% of the time these days. 

Recently there has been a revelation regarding Activision owning patents for game manipulating mechanics, which give poor players a better experience at the detriment to the better players, poor players not needing to be as accurate, and dealing more damage as such, and the better players needing to be not only accurate but work 2-3 times harder to get a mediocre kill on a player who is for lack of better words trash.

I say this with confidence due to the fact, that every single day, every single game, near enough every altercation I've been involved in, has resulted in me shooting the enemy player enough to kill them three or four times over, and regardless how much I have shot the other player, if I am hit once or twice I am dead, also to note the enemy players who always seem to be untouchable, are always of low rank, and now console players, most of which are using MnK adapters taking advantage of the aim assist and low recoil makes for an extremely frustrating and practically unplayable experience.

    Hey all, please refrain from spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation when posting on AHQ.

    I'm locking this thread now as we don't allow the spreading of false information or wild theories like this that have no basis in fact.

  • I have a 165Hz G-sync monitor. I'd turn Vsync on inside the game and increase video card settings until the video card is maxing 100% around 120fps.

    I don't think 2042 has a built-in framerate limiter so maxing the video card at 120fps is the next best thing.

    Gsync and Freesync reduce Vsync input lag by quite a bit so long as the game framerate is below the monitor's refresh rate Hz. Vsync helps will client-side hit detection by delivering frames at perfect intervals.

    Yes, there are serious netcode issues such as 45Hz network tick rate instead of 60Hz.
