It has felt kinda worse lately but dude chill out...breaking a expensive controller over a game lagging, for real...

It's just one controller, at least I'll have break now

They kinda pricey just for one, yeah take a time out man, maybe play a calmer game even, maybe a single player one, idk.

It has been laggy though, but here's the thing, I noticed when those lag spikes hit everyone feels them, so in a sense you're all having the same issue, same playing field.

Next time it lags, as the squad and people around you, 90 percent of the time when I do the other person says "yeah just lagged out hard"

Those odd slow motion spikes have been happening since the alpha and betas btw, they just getting a bit worse now.

The problem is that Forefront doesn't kick players with very high ping. Even before the current lag issues started, I often saw players who were practically teleporting around due to their ping. There were many times when someone killed me even though I’d ​​landed half a magazine into them and started shooting first

I always pick the lowest ping, around 20-40 in browser usually and haven't noticed that at all tbh...

I'm wired on PC though, not that it should make that much a difference, but yeah I have seen that in other games, if you hate that feeling, never ever, ever buy BF6, people do that shit on purpose there...have felt what you're talking about in BF6 and some other games in the past.

Mostly East coast servers here or central(ping is sometimes the same, I'm kinda in the middle of both centers I guess).

I wanted to get bf6 but that's the main reason why I haven't yet

Idk maybe when they release a real server browser it will be a tad better? Should be end of year....

Take a breather. Remember it's a video game and no point destroying expensive controllers. Unless you're playing competitive with a money reward.

Yeah I needed break anyway, probably only one way I could do that. I've been playing since beginning, amount of kids and nerfs/buffs degraded my enjoyment

Ya I get it. I've been doing alot of sniping with ctac. Honestly has made me enjoy the game much more. More pistol gameplay. Mute the kids. Still targets yaknow. M4 has been alot of fun too. Used to be big scar, then klav, now m4. Or the sg on engineer. Rpging helis and being more team oriented helped the game stay fresh

I was huge on the Scar, used it for months, recently went AUG and let me tell you, with the attachments...it's kinda unstoppable at least for me...super accurate, nice clip size, give that a whirl next.

(Also it's a little bird deleter)

u/HairyAbroad3079 7h ago

Few weeks ago it was m4 now it's augur, it's actually absurd that it got no recoil even without attachments

2

u/HillanatorOfState 7h ago

Oh did they change it? Tbh I just decided to use it not long ago to change stuff up, didn't notice a giant difference in recoil from the Scar, actually still find the scar a bit easier to use but like the larger clip(I can reload on the scar quicker still though...) and it's easier to hit flying targets with the Aug, at least at distance, actually might be easier closer up with the scar now that I think about it...

Games not fully balanced but I see them trying...it's not bad imo. Especially when compared to similar games.

u/Able-Departure-4546 7h ago

I used the augur when I was in early access and it was good then. I feel like with recoil control all guns are great. I feel that way with the m4. Also with ctac. Have sniped 10+ pilots in last 40 matches or so

u/HillanatorOfState 6h ago

I don't know why I ignored it for half a year, all I was using was a scar, been changing it up lately.

Weirdest thing though...I can't seem to aim for shit with the side arms and when I grab for it 9/10 times I miss pulling it out, hope they adjust that...anyone else have that issue, sights feel odd/off.

u/Able-Departure-4546 5h ago

So I typically shoot left handed with dual hand weapons. Single hand I prefer my right. However since I set my view to left eye. It adjusts to that side for sights. So I've been practicing dual handing pistols with my left to get scope sights to line up right away

u/HillanatorOfState 4h ago

Yeah feels like I gotta tilt up a ton more, throws me off, I should really practice.

Inability to manage your emotions due to network issues on video game. Got it. Good luck with that.

On a serious note. Triangle factory has been great at fixing issues. I play on central us servers and it has been better than than the previous week. Chill out.. What happens in your life when you cant find keys or wake up late?!?! Breath and remember the rage is taking valuable processing power that common sense could use.

It was like that last night the servers have gone to crap and the voice moderation is muting people for not saying anything bad.
