Netcode/Desync/Hit Reg, When do we get those?

No, there is generally no "paywall" for fundamental game mechanics like hit detection in major titles; these issues are almost always technical problems related to the game's netcode, server performance, or client-side latency. The experiences you describe—like headshots not registering damage, massive damage disparity, and suspicious kill cams/spectating—point strongly to severe netcode issues, server desynchronization (desync), or potential latency differences between players. Spectator modes can often be inaccurate due to how they process game data, which could explain why the player you spectated appeared to be shooting inaccurately. While some games do have cross-platform differences (like the aim assist and recoil you mentioned for controller players), the core problems of non-registering hits and damage variance are symptoms of the underlying technical infrastructure needing improvement.

yeah, i know. i want them to **bleep** fix it. Because its a god **bleep** joke 2025 and they're using servers and netcode from 1998

I'm on PS5 and have same Problem. This is Not a PC vs. Controller Problem with Hit Registration and die behind Walls.

It's not a pay-wall and it's not console or PC, controller or MnK, it's EA/DICE forcing cross-play.

Since PC players discovered a way to turn off cross-play they also discovered the gunplay/netcode improves.

Cross-play clearly causes technical limitations that damage the experience.

Also PC players discovered you get put into bot-filled matches when you turn off cross-play even if there are hundreds of thousands of PC players online.

Match-making is clearly heavily biased toward filling lobbies of people with cross-play on rather than matching with their own platform.

And EA/DICE remain completely silent on the issue because it's embarrassing that they force something that makes the game worse and they are incapable of fixing it.

They would rather the community keep arguing and blaming each other than admit their own stupid design choices and technical failures.

EA/DICE need to stop making terrible decisions based on greedy marketing exec ideas (making more and more game modes no one asked for and splitting the community) and give cross-play options to everyone that will improve things for everyone.
