This Game Is Garbage

I’m Level 450, and all I can say is this:

I start a round, and usually, things go smoothly. Then, suddenly—as if someone flipped a switch—everything in the game gets weird.

It feels as though the game is imposing a delay on me (internally, at the server level) just to slow me down. It manifests as what feels like desync.

At first, I thought my internet connection, network hardware, or computer might be at fault.

I play with a 9–10ms RTT (Round-Trip Time), yet I am UNABLE TO REACT to a player with a 150ms ping!?!?!?!?

My shots land, but they often fail to register any damage. I see the hit markers, but nothing happens.

I no longer believe the game is simply broken; I’m convinced this is entirely intentional.

P.S.: My K/D ratio is currently 3.0—even though I’m typically a 5.0–6.0 caliber player—but the game just won't let me reach that level.

you are right. im level 303 atm and i've been in games with people in the same area of 140-160ms whereas i'm generally around 45-60ms yet they can still react before me and kill me before i've fired off 3-4 shots?

Good grief, I genuinely applaud you for being able to play this game for such a long time and for reaching such a high level. I have no idea how you can stick it for that long.

I can only stomach this game for around 40 mins, or an hour or so on a good day before I quit because of the silly nonsense that this has now become.

I'm also really fed up with enemies suddenly spawning in BEHIND me in the base camp 🤬

Lag comp, the server favors the higher ping, it's ridiculous in it's current state.
