So after playing bf 6 on pc and Xbox, I believe the HUGE advantage console players have on aim assist. It’s insane. I played on pc yesterday and can’t tell you how many time I shot and made a hit, then was shot dead by the other guy! Completely unfun! I know I got the drop in countless guys a died on the spot, even if my round hit first…..oh well. I do like the graphics better on pc.
I always felt like the console users were about 1-2 seconds ahead of PC users during some gun fights.
That's odd. Every game I play, the controller players are at the bottom of the leader board and every person I play with, who is on PC, is on top of the leader board. And I'm not just talking about k/d. I mean doing better in captures, points, kills, everything. This is like over 90% of the games I play. I've tried both controller and M&K as well, but my performance with M&K is noticeably better.
Really? Come play TDM. Plenty of controller players getting 30 + kills and getting top player.
It's actually a Desync issue between PC and console. The console players see you before you see them 99% of the time. They need to run better servers.
Exactly!! Excellent explanation.
" I always felt like the console users were about 1-2 seconds ahead of PC users during some gun fights."
YES! It does "feel" like 1-2 SECONDS ahead of PC. That is enough in a game where ROF is so high between life and death. It is TOO much. I believe it is related to Tick Rate as well.
In case no one knows what Tick Rate is...
Tick Rate is how many operations the server can handle at a given time. Tick Rate for BF6 is 60hz for Conquest and Breakthrough, 30hz for smaller game styles. The problem is, lower tick rate benefits consoles way more than PCs. Input method (M&K vs Controller) does not matter, it is about hardware running the game. High tick rate games (CS:go for example) use 120hz tick rate. This makes sure every shot counts.
If you have ever experienced mag dumping into a person to get a kill, the reason is Tick Rate.
This can lead to the "feeling" of being behind, desync, netcode. Now, companies do not increase tick rate (even though it would improve gameplay) because it increases cost of the hosting servers. To get a higher tick rate, you need more server power. Since BF spins up Virtual Machines that would require more Processor, Memory and bandwidth to each VM. This is limited by the amount of physical resources on the VM Host. Most companies don't increase tick rate because the amount of players, sales and continued income does not justify the increase in cost for the tick rate to be increased.
My pc runs battlefield 6 at 500+ frames per second.
My xbox X runs battlefield 6 at 60 or less frames per second.
Upgrade your pc. It wont be that noticeable. You should know the advantages of the fps gap between the 2. Its a very noticeable difference.
Theres even videos on reddit showing you the difference. One is even titled how can consoles compete with this...
Yeah, thats what I play (TDM/DOM/KOH/SDM/etc.). But sure, send me a private message and we can play.
Give me a break! I have a 3090, AMD 5800X and 32Gigs of 4200 memory. My machine is a little older but not that old! My buddy on a newer CPU, memory and a 4090 has the same problem. So it isn't hardware. I shouldn't have to run a $10,000 PC to "compete" when controllers get a built in advantage. Seeing as you play both, you should know this as well, because you say " It wont be that noticeable." So it is still noticeable regardless... You played yourself.
The problem is, lower tick rate benefits consoles way more than PCs.
