Gameplay inconsistency, Why is that?
I've been playing Battlefield since Battlefield Vietnam and so on and always have been a big Fan of the Franchise. Only with BF3 i started playing mainly on the console. I loved BF6 after launch and had nothing but positive experience in all aspects.
Feedback on the internet completely shocked me, since players described having issues with "hit reg, desynch, netcode" and all sorts of terms I had never heard of before. In the beginning I thought it was just players whining about not being good at the game.
I also became a huge fan of Gauntlet, which I now mainly play when I'm playing in a party.
Ever since season 3, however I consistently experience major problems with TTK, hitting people over long distances and them not dying, while I myself am constantly being destroyed in almost every round of regular (Conquest, Escalation etc.) BF6 games (Talking frequent KDs of 0.5).
As a reference:
- My KD in Season 1 and 2 was at 1.85 - 1.70 it now dropped to 1.50 (while my Gauntlet KD accounting for it still being over 1. , I IMO)
- My KD in Gauntlet remains at 1.79. (Cross-Play enabled)
- I have a high speed internet connection
I know that my skillset has only gotten better over time so I should much rather be witnessing an increase in KD Ratio. I also know that a certain drop in KD must be accounted by a lot of casuals leaving the game. A small part could also be people effectively hiding that they are cheating (I just found out about those hardware cheaters prevalent on console, this year). But this recent and steady decline to me is just unexplainable. Since the player base dropped I enabled Cross-Play but the problems remain mainly in regular BF6 game mods rather than in Gauntlet.
The point I am trying to make is, I feel that the constant need for improvement of gameplay on the side of the developers has lead to a vastly inconsistent gaming experience.
How is this even possible?
With older releases I have never experienced this and it is just frustrating to me.
Battlefield has literally been the only game I played for years and currently to me BF6 is unplayable.
I really hope they fix whatever causes this vastly inconsistent gameplay experiences.
It really saddens me, because I had great fun playing this in the beginning.
What's your thoughts on this? Has anyone else also had next to no issues with this game in the beginning and is now also unhappy with it?
What exactly causes this and is there any way for me as a player to battle this? (Like changing or optimizing settings)?
