Guys what settings are you using for the 'network smoothing'? I admit i'm not very good, and I don't mind dying to proper twitch shooters, but multiple times on UK servers today i've moved down a corridor or road after checking it's clear ahead/behind me, then been shot in the back or face by someone that couldn't possibly have been there (according to what's rendered on my screen) and wasn't when I looked. I've also put 5 rounds+ into someones head at point blank for them to then kill me and be at 100% health - wtf is going on?
 
Get good at HC and you will pwn a SC server with ease as long as you remember not to stop shooting till they die ;)

Lol this has been me lately. Favourite gun right now is the KH2002 and I have to remember to shoot another burst to finish them off on SC.

It's been like this for a while now, my single biggest gripe with this game. As for the network slider, it does nothing whatsoever. A pointless silly addition. Its all down to the use of client side hit detection.

That seems like such a stupid thing to say, but I think it's true lol. I played nothing but Core until roughly 2 weeks ago when I discovered Matt's server. Whenever I started playing on it I was shocking, my K/D went down from 1.6ish to 1.3. I kept at it and got my K/D back up to about 1.6 again. The last couple of days I've been playing on dg's server and have been pwning, my K/D has went up to 1.75 and my SPM is going up a lot also.

HC makes you more aware and improves your aim incredibly.
 
Hmm. It's seriously strange. A few games it was like I got the drop on people all the time, then the next game it was reversed - on the same server. Wonder if it has something to do with who else is on the server as well as the client side hit detection - it seemed to be worse when there was someone with a stupid high ping on it. Last FPS I played was Quake II (bring back rocket-jumping!), where a low ping was desirable - here it seems you are punished for being a LPB?

ignore the 100 % health reading.

I've had people show as 100 % health, then get killed by somebody else granting me a kill assist bonus of 50 points (so i knocked 50 % health off them) or more.

Its just BF3s poor netcode. Its my single biggest technical issue (as opposed to a balance issue) with the game, closely followed by the sound bugs where it disappears in vehicles from time to time.

yes its entirely down to the clientside hit detection. If they have a poor connection to the server thee hit registration on them seems really poor too.
 
9 times out of 10 in 1 on 1 situations, ill fire first only to die, ive even shot people in the back only for them to turn and kill me. On some servers, when someone ran across my field of view, ive had more success shooting behind them rather than at them or leading in front of them.
 
Hit reg is all over the show for me. Last night I was capping asses where I know I was missing. Even shot a few people as the were ran into cover, I see them make it behind a wall or whatever then it popped up that I killed them :confused:

Earlier today I was betting soundly ****** while being behind cover/rounded corners etc. Don't mind being bested (I play QL a lot and have played some of the best Quakers in the UK :p) but hate hit registration issues

At its worst i've had kills register multiple seconds after they have disappeared from my field of view.

Granted this is worst case scenario but it shows just how bad the hit reg can be.
 
daze you did ok

hope you didnt mind dto ribbing you we were seeing what you like ;) some players when raged will become useless :) some players get angry get better some just rage quit.

got dto to rib you a bit see how you did :D you wobbled a bit for a round :p but did not bad generally . basically always forget any nonsense going off and concentrate on your game.

also it doesnt matter how much your k/d is if your team loses you lose !
 
If k/d was the cause of quitting, i should have given up ages ago.:D Saying that though, ive managed to garner a few ace squad ribbons on your server Dg, cant be bad to that lol.:)
 
I've always thought kd was pretty useless, I usually come near the top on a crowded day on matts server with 0-3 kills and around 30 deaths :D

I really hate people who say they are better only because of kd :(
 
I reckon that ive completed maybe 10 rounds with a positive k/d ratio since the game was released. Most of those where in the first week or so. Think ive only finished 2nd and 3rd in a round twice.

in matches k/d does indeed mean not too much .

you can have the great k/d but your team loses by 1 death you as a team lose.

so your whole epic k/d ratio meant zip !


ggs tonight :D
 
I don't play for K/D, was just saying that my K/D had improved as my aim etc had improved from playing HC

I hate people who camp for a good K/D :)
