Considering returning my pre-order due to netcode issues
I think it's been made pretty clear by the community that this weekend feels way worse than the previous but I just wanted to add my experience to the pile. And let me preface this by saying I have been an avid Battlefield player since 1942, but like many, stopped around Battlefield 3 and haven't played since. They almost had me back after the first weekend. The netcode is absolutely atrocious. I feel like I'm shooting at and getting killed by ghosts. I'll see up to 8-10 hit markers and they won't go down even in range. I was once at a sliver of health and it took three shots to take me down when it should have taken one. I'll see enemies blink on screen just before dying and sometimes, I won't see them at all. I have been staring directly at where the kill shot came from and saw absolutely nothing there. This is abysmal and makes me just not want to play the game. I set aside the whole weekend to play and I find myself just wanted to play other things instead. I had pre-ordered after last weekend satisfied with the state of the beta and assumed things would get better, but the fact that things have gotten worse instead as wrecked the minimal trust that was being rebuilt. I don't have any faith in the team to write the ship enough to warrant a $100 pre-order.
