8v8 Discussion Thread
They have changed turf takeover to 8v8 to see what it’s like (for lag I bet) what do you lot think.
Forum Discussion
I have to concur that, while spawn camping would occur both in GW1 and GW2 the current state of BfN Turf Takeover is atrocious. You have to expect that this sort of thing will happen occasionally and as long as it's just occasionally I find it tolerable but before I quit playing TT entirely I would see it extremely often and on the only occasions I didn't see it it was only to experience the attackers essentially sprinting through the map and capturing objective after objective in the time it would take a defender to respawn and sprint full tilt back to the fight.
I now play mostly Ops and along with whatever Weekly Challenge is up and running with some Team Vanquish tossed in here and there and I haven't experienced much of the lag that everyone has discussed. My home connection is up to 600Mbps but is usually less than that because I haven't run a wired connection to my PS4 just yet.
This being an EA game I sort of expect that the servers will be garbage because that's been my general experience with them over the years and it's one of the reasons I don't buy the games which they publish any longer- unreliable servers and predatory monetization.
Not giving up on TT yet. Tried a few more rounds tonight(East,Euro,West). Spawned into Peachy with 5 or 6 on each side. Plants spawn camped us. We barely made it up the road to the first few houses...terrible. Spawned into Loggy with 6v6. Team was rolling through sections and I couldn’t even find someone to fight. Checked and it had turned into 6v1. Unchallenged bombs walked in and it was over...terrible. Spawned again into Loggy with 6v6. Zombies made it to final objective and failed. Last match seemed somewhat normal but wasn’t very enjoyable. Looks like this is the reality of playing TT going forward.
My ping is usually 20 or so in west servers. Ive never had a problem with people killing me without me being able to react to it. Killing is still relatively slow compared to gw1 and 2. In gw1, the agent pea can kill someone in less than half a second. Anyways im not trying to boast or anything, this is just my objective experience with this game.

We don’t hear you as boastful. Thanks for sharing (you’re one of the lucky few).
Which platform are you on?
- @spIash_damage Im on xbox, and I'm using a wireless connection, also the modem is in the same room. My wife is on a wired connection and she gets similar ping.

I’m hard-wired into my $10,000 modem that’s not being released till 2020 and I make my children sleep or play outside while I game and still have issues. 😢
On a serious note, I have a solid connection on a PS4 Pro and nice modem but still struggle. I’m hard-wired direct to the modem.
Since Garden Warfare 2, I can't join @dwooten77 ‘s backyard or Giddy Park without lagging out of his server entirely. If he and I try to chat in-game, we’re better off using in-game chat (as opposed to PSN) because we lag down so hard.
You're fortunate.
No offense/Side note: I still think it’s people like you (amazing connections) that shell me without challenge/in a fraction of a second. 🤣🤷🏼♂️
