Thing is, you say you have that pretty much every round, when nobody else does, only a few time that a few of us do, so it's gotta be something your end, surely? I know you have Fibre etc.. but for the game to be as bad as you say it is, it's gotta be something your end.
Think I just passed someone in cG for tank kills recently, cG-Matti or somethingThat must mean I'm a 1337 pr0
congrats you are now med plus
i play with some guys who have similar issues one guy i play with is a awesome player but his connection is so bad he actually smashed his 400 quid monitor other week
you need a decent connection the game set up right and right graphics and right servers also just allow play to the reg can no one do this anymore in games? used to be quite common and standard now people dont try and aim a bit to side or above to see . too much rage.
I don't understand how so many people still rage over this game, the game's not perfect but is it really this bad for some? I feel people just look for an excuse now when they're not doing well and hit reg and rubber banding issues are just easy excuses.
I agree with this. I only rage because I die though...
I have videos to backup the various issues I have with the game
For me its pretty bad as my playing style is uncompromising on the "netcode" in other games like COD I can accept that sometimes the nature of the internet, etc. results in things not quite working right but in BF4 its a frequent thing but it goes beyond that things like weapons randomly switching, optical attachment behavior randomly inverting, getting stuck on scenery, invisible objects (i.e. from exploded buildings that hang in mid air so you collide with them while flying), surfaces that absorb bullets even when fired a fair angle away from them, grenades going through surfaces instead of exploding, etc. etc. all happen reguarly and spoil the fun of the game - I can't count the number of times I've tried to fire the m98b while running and gunning with it only for it to do nothing or decide the last reload didn't actually happen and start reloading instead or delayed fire and go off a second later and a million more glitches.
For instance go on shanghai and go to the top of the building between E and D (conquest large) theres a lift up just to the left of the way between them - go prone and trying shooting at anything then move to about the middle of the roof in view of the lift doors and try throwing a grenade at the floor right infront of the lift
EDIT: Made a quick video - ok this is just one buggy roof top but its symptomatic of the whole game (notice how you can't even put the radio beacon down on that flat bit and watch the grenade carefully)
EDIT2: I think the biggest issue with the "netcode" though is that its far too reliant on every player in the server - far more than any other game - if even one player is having a bit of packetloss or spiking it degrades the experience for everyone even if its just a minor hitch here and there.

The game has been bad since BF3. Probably not bad if you like the vehicle aspects of the game but from an infantry pov it's ****ing terrible.
If you don't have lag, rubberbanding issues then you're one of the lucky ones, but it's not the case for everyone. These are NOT excuses but FACTS and are only part of the problem.
I've given DICE a good chance to get it right but Derpmize, Bach and Co has failed on every decision.
It's time I hang up my Battlefield gloves (unless Venice Unleashed comes out this year) and sit back and await the ****storm that will inevitably come with Battlefront.
Anyone that is having massive 'netcode' issues. I would suggest running one of these. If your test comes out like mine then clearly its the game.
You can run this test here.
My test running 24/7.
Running that now
Are you sure it was me? Don't remember being in a hovercraft with you
Hmm... Maybe it wasn't then. Nexus will remember I'm sure

Your net issues plus Kawusa being a top FPS player is the problem.
Let's be honest for a mo, most OcUK guys are half decent and know how to play the game in public. Kawusa has around 3 years of top tier competitive BF experience on top of being naturally good at all FPS games. He is not a "casual scrub" he is one of the best players in BF. It is hardly surprising that you think he is a hacker, however his stats and streams have shown he isn't.
Kawusa has a wealth of knowledge and is a nice guy that is willing to share tips. He should be learnt from not derided.
Edit..yeah 2 posts FTW

You were in a hovercraft with me. For all of five seconds before we got blown up.
Kawusa is a confirmed hacker. The other day I was behind him as he was prone. I shot him in the head 680 times (I know this because I counted each shot as I've played FPS since CoD 1) he ate every shot, turned around, and one shotted me with a flare. I reported him after I went 10-17.
