DO NOT BUY: Almost 2024, you still can't hit people in this game

[3735943886]

Title. Hit registration is broken, there is lag compensation that makes this game unplayable, you cannot hit anyone while everyone instakills you. Its not you being bad, it is the game not working

You can read about it in this thread. tl;dr; there is agressive lag compensation that DOESNT WORK which make the game piece of cake for some and impossible to others. This is not a game about skilled shooting.

DO NOT BUY

LET THIS GAME DIE

[#JuicyStick#]

I played every Battlefield Title before and bought this one pretty late on a huge discount and i still feel scammed.

The ammount of one frame deaths by other players on me, is comical and to have such a gamebreaking bug still in the game, over 1 year after release, is incompetence at the highest level.
ALL maps are absolutely horrible and the guns are the worst out of any shooter ive ever played.

And to the gaslighting trolls who say: Skill issue, you have just a trash pc and trash internet......
You are wrong!
I play at over 100fps, with a ping of 18ms and i have 2.8 k/d, across the board on all battlefield tites.
So basically best case scenario.

Dice and EA should feel ashamed of themself, to put IT crap like that out there.

If i would give the guests in my restaurant a meal that is on the equivalent level of trash that this game portraits, i would get beaten to a pulp by said guests and they would ask for their money back.
They feel safe, because they sale a software product and think they are out of reach for their scammed costumers.

It is definitely 2042 problem.

You make the ridiculous argument that the hitreg fails by design.

I think that sums up BF pretty well. The End. Lol. They call it balance. Broken and scripted would be pretty accurate. BF stop being a competitive PC game to me when BF3 came out. BF3 was a competitive game, but most the players weren’t. People wanted control of the game and they got it, to the point it’s scripted.

In other words, you do better in BFV than in 2042, and you choose to blame it on hitreg.

Hitreg may fail for individual players, in which case it's almost certainly explained by an unstable connection to the server. You make the ridiculous argument that the hitreg fails by design. Lag compensation is actually what makes it possible for modern shooters to have good hit registration in the first place.

Hitreg fails by buggy lag compensation implementation, done by same incompetent team that brought you the mess of 2042 on release. Also notice how there is no ping in scoreboard, compared to previous games. I wont be surprised if this terrible lag compensation favors 200+ ping players or something. This game's performance is completely unpredictable, which is supported by lots of video evidence.

Hell, look at player numbers in 2042 vs BF5 in Steam, it is 75000 today's peak for BF5 vs 25000 for 2042! BF5 despite being abandoned by the developers is STILL a better game and people still playing it shows it.

Again, DO NOT BUY 2042, IT SHOULD DIE OFF COMPLETELY.

Thanks for the bump btw.

And again, DO NOT BUY 2042.

LET IT DIE.

(Player BF5 instead)

[Cloudzey]

Why does steam even allow negative posts like this lmao

[Agent X ™]

Sounds like an internet connection issue.

In other words you have no idea what you're talking about. BF5 has 3 times more players than 2042 and will be played after 2042 finally dies.

[Nihil]

CanT hit things?
Dunno man i get oneshotted all the time recently and blowen up gy some grenades which haven't been even thrown yet.

[Multihog]

This game is an absolute failure. Look at Steam charts. BF5 has many times more players still even though it's older.

The people who are claiming the game is fine are the very people who are profiting from the poor net code and lag compensation implementation, on top of the abysmal cheap servers that EA use for all of their games.

A large scale map will often drop as low as 25hz, which emphasises the issues further. TDM gets 45hz, but it's a far cry from the stable netcode on BF1 and previous whilst also being on 60hz servers.

I said from the start that the game feels very much like Halo Infinite, in that console/PC players on crappy WiFi or poor connections in general have the advantage. The sad thing is, Halo have now implemented a proper and fair netcode for testing which is significantly better than most other online FPS games, where as 2042 has been abandonware for months now.

Unfortunately you have streamers like JackFrags who constantly claim the game is great from their warped realities, which helps keep terrible games like this alive.

Sadly BF is now a casual console shooter like CoD has been for over a decade.

The game has built in hit-detection graphs. That is all the proof you need of how bad the netcode is. They didn't even half a$$ it, just put an intern on it for a month and called it a day.

The good news is that BF1 and BFV, despite the odd cheater, has more players than 2042 by some margin and are both significantly more polished and enjoyable experiences than this tripe due to functional networking.

You're 100% correct. Unfortunately as 2042 was lead by the guy who made Candy Crush, it is to be expected that 2042 was intended to be a casual console shooter fortnite lootbox mess.

They wanted to be CoD so badly that they even copied the trash netcode that favours auto aim console players on bad WiFi connections with packet loss just to make them feel special enough to buy skins.

I recommend everyone give Halo Infinite's current "Squad Battle" network test a go and see how it feels to play. Yet to be killed after sprinting behind a wall so far. None of this invisible bullet nonsense prevalent in 2042.

i like the game, but anyone who says hit reg and latency is fine are clearly not playing 2042
