The game runs well for me other than the 1 shot 1 kill bug,Lag(Strangely enough its only on CQ and all other game modes it's buttery smooth),Instant death(Running and gettin shot into a rock -_-/).

Shadonic3700d ago

I've been running into rubber-banding and there's still that weapon reset issue happening. Also from that video on how the shooting mechanics and the netcode is, if that video is accurate ( some of it ive tested and actually run into the same issues) Then its still broken your just not noticing it or running into it much.

Mega243700d ago

The game is indeed broken, I really hate to see comments like the one you replied to, I got about 300hrs of gameplay, haven't played since jan, and just tried Second Assault, and it still clearly netcode issues, I just wish this wasn't the first battlefield I've stopped playing after 2 months. I just wish the Bad Company 2 day could comeback.

alexkoepp3700d ago

I have about 350 hours in the game, and I have never once complained about the net code. What we have here is a bunch of whiners, making up an issue that doesn't exist. Maybe a bunch of people have faulty hardware causing issues, everything works great over where I am.

Akuma073700d ago

@alexkoepp

Mate, you obviously don't know much about what 'netcode' is, or how it affects a game like battlefield. But it IS an issue. People don't have faulty hardware, just because YOU are willing to pass off issues and ignore them because you like the game doesn't mean everyone else are whiners.

Shadonic3700d ago

Alexkoepp trust me man, im not whining i'm merely stating the issues that ive run into that are ( as you have seen) wide spread and you are luckily outside of group of millions of players that do and have experienced this problem. Theres evidence all around the net and on youtube and honestly if it was some cockamamy koo koo for co co puffs imagination wouldnt you think that Dice would instead give out detailed explanations for why were wrong instead of going along and fixing the obvious issues. I literally just came from the game 2 hours ago and stopped playing because of the rubber banding. I mean come on man, you cant just say that because your not seeing it happen in front of your eyes it doesn't exist. Come on bro your more competent than that right ? I mean what your bascially saying is that since ( and this is an example) I didnt lose my character in the whole GTA 5 player deleting phase of GTA online it clearly never happened even though my friends and millions of others and EVEN the developers have pointed out the issue

I don´t wanna sound picky but if you soffer from 1 shot kill bug and lag (as do I by the way)it dosen´t run well.It needs to be correct ASAP,it´s killing my mood to play the game because i know the quality games DICE can provide and at this instance they are not providing.

And by the way,why do USA servers have better ping than Europe servers?

It´s beyond me why i have a smoother gameplay across the Ocean than when i play with the servers from my on continent.
Anyone else agrees with this?

n4rc3700d ago (Edited 3700d ago )

Jeez... Are people new to online gaming or what?

If netcode was truly broken, we'd all notice it.. I've had literally one game with rubber banding.. One..

If its happening often for some of you, then all signs point to it being on your end...

Most people just complain when they don't get the result they think they should.. But there are always wtf moments.. Lag is a fact of life, and there is nothing stopping Asians from playing on us servers and vice versa.. So you'll always get the odd bad game..

Bad netcode would mean all games are bad and that's not the case .

Edit because this doesnt sound the way I meant it and I don't believe in deleting..

I'm not saying you guys aren't seeing this stuff.. Just that there is always another reason for it.. Your connection or area, distance from servers, who else is playing on the servers etc..

Every single game in recent memory has had terrible netcode according to forums.. Its the default target for any lag issues anyone has

XiSasukeUchiha3700d ago

BF4 saving yourself from bargain bins is harder than you thought i suppose!

SirBradders3700d ago

I'm playing it as I type and I'm really frustrated with it I spawn and get stuck, it stutters on cq, players keep appearing in front of me, it takes me 5 shots to kill someone a handgun 2, my mate just got hulk smahed of the map, laggy as hell aside from that I'm having fun :-p

Zack_attack3700d ago

I have had the game since launch on x1, and all the issues I had from launch have cleared up. The only exception is sometimes when i die, it shows my enemy was at 0 health. Any improvements they make are welcome.

n4rc3700d ago

That's just a graphical error..

Happens when playing against friends.. Buddy said I had 0 health while I had 15hp left.. Happened a bunch of times then we stopped paying attention to it

sergons3699d ago

No its not! Few times I had 0hp. stop defending this piece of unfinished crap.

n4rc3699d ago

I'm not defending anything.. I'm telling you what I've seen..

We paid attention and having 0 on the killcam multiple times never once matched the actual HP of the player..

OmegaShen3700d ago

The game is just broken, I even went back to BF3 and it runs much with few problems. Guns not reloading is a big problem, sound of gunfire and 1min later you fall over dead.

Netcode is the biggest thing that needs to be fix, but there is a long list of things need to fix to.

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.

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

gamesftw250752d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface751d ago

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

PapaBop752d 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.

Inverno752d 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

XiNatsuDragnel753d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps752d ago

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

Pudge102888752d ago (Edited 752d 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

pr33k33752d 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.

Pudge102888752d 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_D3TH752d 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.
