Netcode

Fix the game.

You made it, you tested it, you even play it.

I'm done caring what you say quite frankly, you are protecting noobs, and bad players, I'm far from the best player in the world, but my experience has been utter dog excrement, for the last 15 years, every day, every game, 99% of the time.

Yes it's battlefield, you can die fast, I know, the few and fleeting moments the game works for me, I slaughter everyone, then it stops working and literally the same people I just nemesis pinned, miraculously stop dying when I shoot them, and I die instantly, just like the other 99% of the time.

It's blatant fraud, you're stroking the egos of noobs and the incessant cry baby campers, who expect everyone to stop jumping around and stand still while they shoot them.

Spare me the generic gibberish jargon, your connection is bad, Really? Consistent 21 ping, full fibre 1000mbps down, 900mbps up, or it's a skill issue, I've played for 21 years, I've been Dying instantly for 15 years, and even when I'm dying instantly I can move, flank, take cover, and seriously whittle down the HP of a level 27 console player who should have died 3 times by the time I'm done.

The game is a joke, not as big of a joke as the look on the shareholders faces when 90% of the concurrent players left.

I've put up with it for far to long, you advertise a fun fast paced action arcade shooter that features realism. It's not realistic when I have to shoot the worlds population of noobs and bad players, 2-3 times more than they have to shoot me, it's the only consistency I've had since bf3. It's not realistic when a reload can cancel itself at any time, especially when it's literally at 0.000001% near the end of the animation. it's not realistic when the cover system is so broken, a deployable shield in your line of sight, whether in front or behind, (and literally 30-40 feet in front of it), will take all the damage even though I'm not even aiming at the shield, and I never should have hit it in the first place.

You guys are con artists, you've destroyed the last 15 years of my experience, to sell skins.

At least the mafia were honest.

DICE themselves have already publicly acknowledged there is netcode issues, blaming consoles for everything is just easier for you than admitting EA/DICE still haven’t been able to fix it months after launch.
You see more console icons and immediately blame them for the netcode. It’s not the consoles...Console players who turn crossplay off still get the exact same desync, bad hitreg, insta-deaths and dying behind cover issues It’s well documented on Reddit and EA forums, 100s of complaints Since the Beta.
Console players turning it off for pure console lobbies should feel much smoother it dosent. PC players using the config edit for PC only lobbies should feel much smoother it dosent. PC players who bother with the config edit and finally get PC-only and in most cases end up in almost empty lobbies, report the same netcode garbage. Same TTD/TTK feel, same bullets not registering, same desync this is a server-side netcode / lag compensation.
IMO consoles could be more stable because all console hardware is standardized with far less FPS variance. A big mix of 200+ FPS rigs and low-end 40-70 FPS Potato PCs creates even more hardware variance that makes lag compensation struggle harder. Would be good to see some actual stats published by DICE / EA on all this.
They need to give PC a crossplay toggle like consoles have. Everyone has been wanting this for almost 9-10 months now and I cant see a reason why they wont do it unless, they simply can't and dont want to say it cause AI built the game?

Omgosh I thought I was going crazy when this happened. I was hitting an enemy and they ran in front of a deployable shield, not behind it, and it absorbed all of the shots that would have eliminated them.
When you see majority consoles, you know the game is going to play like garbage. When it's mostly PC, the game works quite well.
Just left a majority roller lobby where I would die before I was exposed or had enemy in line of sight. Checked input device, 🎮. Died in one frame, 🎮. Bullet sponge, 🎮. /quit

You can track how your experience is going to be by looking at the scoreboard. When you see majority consoles, you know the game is going to play like garbage. When it's mostly PC, the game works quite well.
"It's blatant fraud, you're stroking the egos of noobs and the incessant cry baby campers, who expect everyone to stop jumping around and stand still while they shoot them."
Noobs are one thing, but camping is an actual part of BF gameplay. TDM and redsuck are outliers, the primary focus of the game is holding OBJs and defending them. This REQUIRES camping. If you want a turbo-mode sprint shoot die game CoD makes the game for you.
