You completely missed the first shot, 2nd shot not much better, the only bad thing was when the lag kill happened, but not only that your head still shows on top of the concrete wall unless prone.

aceitman4247d ago

and the 3rd shot he hit the wall, lame.

ATiElite4247d ago

1st Shot = MISS
2nd SHot = Bigger Miss
3rd shot = Miss (you shot the Wall)

then guy gets shot but the death animation was LAGGED not the KILL! Enemy sniper clearly knew where he was at and you can see the bullet trail hit him just fine but the Death animation was LAGGED.

Learn to shoot before complaining about BF4 netcode.

A Patch is coming for real game issues.
NO patch is coming for LAME Gamers who can't aim but there is an APP for that, it's called go play COD!

venom064247d ago

the netcode IS NOT an issue in BF4 anymore than it was in BF3... some Youtuber started this STUPID A$$ idea, and now, all of clueless people in this community has this ingrained into their brains thinking this is an issue when it really isnt... word of advice, USE THE NETWORK SMOOTHING FACTOR IN THE OPTIONS.... it helps tremendously with latency issues..

Nafon4246d ago

Seriously though... I feel like the people that are complaining about netcode are either bad or stupid. Being able to be play with people thousands of miles away with only milliseconds of lag is extremely impressive. Netcode can only do much when latency is involved.

"Netcode"= New buzzword for the masses who have no clue how difficult it is to synchronise 65 computers/consoles from anywhere in the world to less time than it takes a bullet to travel.

There's gonna be problems that's just how it is.

Everybody sayin netcode like it didn't just pop up on the map.

Hence why we need cloud-rendered multiplayer games, so that the maps and common features are rendered only once on the server, and any update to the server will automatically be synced on all the users who are constantly pulling from that single data.

Autodidactdystopia4246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

That's how it works already bro.

Actually rendering happens on your computer, however all actions aside from cosmetic stuff like trees blowing in the wind is handled on the server, then all of the connected pc's or consoles update from it.

essentially all of the connected pc's mime what the server is telling them is happening.

clientside has little to no control over what is happening in game besides transmitting info about the players position, vector pitch yaw weapon ammotype the server then decides if you actually hit what you think you just shot.

"You completely missed the first shot, 2nd shot not much better, the only bad thing was when the lag kill happened, but not only that your head still shows on top of the concrete wall unless prone."

It's an odd coincidence that I saw a JFK vid not too long before I read your comment.

Regis4246d ago

Great now you made me depressed thanks for the lol on the comment cause I can see that, but bad that I laughed at that.

I came to find out what a netcode was. I'm lame :/

like this video

ATiElite4247d ago

The part of a game or application that handles the communication between the clients, server and/or peers.

Basically the Network COde syncs up your actions and other gamers actions with what's going on in the game.

swishersweets200314247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

this is a bad example of the netcode issues, but they are terrible. i know alot of you dont want to hear anything bad about your fav game but this game is just riddled with issues. It will resets your stats sometimes, it doesnt save your game saves, no hit markers, grenades that can blow you up from 40 meters away, no squad up before server joins, crashes pcs, freezes ps3s and xboxs, get shot behind cover, get shot when people are not even in sight, it lags horribly sometimes.
I love bf but this game should of been delayed for a few months.

FunkMacNasty4247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

I agree. Battlefield is def my favorite online shooter, and I'm having loads of fun with BF4, but it is far from perfect. ESPECIALLY on current gen.. Biggest problem I have with BF4 on ps3 is that most textures take at least 15 seconds to load and some textures don't load at all. I was running up to one of the top floors in one of the buildings in Flood Zone map and I thought it was weird that the floors were accessed by running up ramps.... then the stairs popped in; it wasn't a ramp. Even with the network smoothing turned to 100% BF4 looks terribile, graphically (on current gen). Also have experienced a few random episodes of freezing (mostly in the loading screen, right at the start of a match, where you normally customize loadout and select spawn point.

XisThatKid4246d ago

Agreed not to do a direct comparison and I'm in no way dissing its competitor but It's pretty obvious that BF4 was developed and optimized for next gen and CoD for current but not limited to ya know. Mind you I have seen CoD on X1 in person. It's not bad in anyway but I see that early platform stage hiccups. Nowhere near a game breaker though.

e-p-ayeaH4247d ago

Better start using machine guns lol

BX814247d ago

I noticed a problem when using the sniper class as well. Sometimes the hit detection is off.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1182d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501181d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1181d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1181d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1181d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1182d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1181d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881181d ago (Edited 1181d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331181d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881181d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1181d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
