Netcode AKA noob protection.
It's so blatantly obvious what is going on.
You are protecting noobs to sell Battlepass. and other DLC items, it's a business and you're happy to take a great steaming dump on your loyal fan base, you have been for years, and because most people are dense and camp, clueless to the problems, or they know what the problem is and make a career out of exploiting the protections campers have, you have a majority of happy campers.
It's fraud by deception on a large scale.
16 years of noobs not dying when they had already caught enough lead poisoning to drop a heard of Elephants.
it's not lag, my ping is usually a steady 20-21, besides that absolute nonsense claim that it's the Netcode, lag would see us both in a stale mate shooting each other with no end in sight, lag would see me with a high ping, or rubber banding while running, or even teleporting to a previous location, that's lag.
is it a skill issue? well 16 years of dying instantly and defiantly fighting back I'm in the top 2% for kills and a 0.1% medic so be the judge, also the 1-5% of the time the game lets me drop players with 1 or 2 bullets, (the ego stroking moment to keep me playing like a good little addict), I don't camp I use footwork and an imagination and destroy multiple squads like they were nothing.
This game ran flawlessly on an Xbox 360 with less than a meg download speed, also same console the experience changed, BF3 launched with it the Netcode issue, noobs don't die but they kill you, if it was networking issues, shouldn't it be random and effect both players or all players? nope it doesn't it always seems to favour one player, and most of the time it's a noob, or another decent player who is getting his 5 minutes of fame.
This is manipulation of the game mechanics in real time, I will be honest I can recognise when the game is giving me the golden gun, I don't want it, I want an even field a fair experience, if I'm better it should reflect that with my results, If I'm being taught a lesson so be it, I can learn from that, I can get better.
Nobody can learn from seeing an enemy, shooting him in the head multiple times, then in a split second I've lost control before I've taken damage, and I'm dead, or looking right at an enemy who was invisible until he's killed you, or aiming at an enemy but your sensitivities are going into the extremes either higher or lower.
This game has turned into the biggest insult, it's a badly written joke, noobs are protected, and can we get a server browser and a map rotation? So we can congregate with fellow veterans and friends alike? Nope legacy features stop asking, we are being forced to use the quick match function basically, it was pants decades ago and it's still pants now, they want to drive player engagement like COD to influence skin sales, and DLC cosmetics.
