What is the point of multiplayer?

[B-Bud]

Genuinely, what is the point? Singleplayer is the preferable experience for one reason alone: Your bullets actually hit people.

Ever since Battlefield 3, DICE has been completely incompetent to fix the constant issue of aiming at a player, firing, and the bullet missing because where you see the player and where the hitbox actually is are completely desynced. It's been like this for over 10 years and still they can't fix what every other multiplayer game has been able to fix?

Going against AI is boring and repetitive. They are no real challenge.

There's no challenge with human players either. Unless you count the hit detection lottery as a "challenge".

Seriously go play a solo game and leave multiplayer FPS alone then.

It's a multiplayer game. You sound more like a single player game type of person.

I'm just holding it to the standards of other multiplayer games.

believe it or not but the hit reg issue so many people claim to have is solved by having a mobo that can take in a higher amount of data from your isp.

they don't tell you this on games spec requirements, but the download speed is crucially tied to how fast the mobo can actually utilize the speed.

my old mobo and pc was completely up to spec for the game, but i noted my internet download speeds were half of what i was supposed to be getting from my isp, and this caused multiple issues in games that have a high data stream like this, most noted was when i played this in a discord party, discord would constantly have connection issues and i would be kicked from my own voice channel until i alt tabbed and gave priority back to discord.

after upgrading my pc, i noted that my new mobos internet capabilities actually favored my internet speeds, whilst my old one, (i was completely unaware of this,) throttled my connection speeds to less than half and this would cause issues in games like this.

after my upgrade, not a single hit detection issue ever.

i haven't been kicked from discord once playing the game either.

im starting to think they need to add mobo specs to the min requirements for things like this, because just having "fast" internet these days doesn't mean anything if your mobo can't even take the max download speed, and im sure there's plenty of people on here with older computers that they don't think they have to upgrade because technically, their mobos support all the modern hw that they have connected to their rigs, but if the mobo is old enough to NOT support a fast enough internet speed by todays standards, you will in fact have issues like hit registration and such.

it's crazy i know, we shouldn't have to update like this but because they don't exactly say your mobo can affect gameplay lots and lots of people are completely unaware that it is exactly THAT which is holding them back.

spoken to a few of my friends on the subject, they all have great rigs but because of the age of the mobos they have, the internet that was available back when said models was produced was what determined the limit for speeds on those boards, we are now 5+ or 10+ more years passed when lots of people got their machines built or bought and internet speeds are far greater than they used to be, just upgrading your cpu and gpu and ram isn't enough anymore, some people require a new mobo like i did.

skill issue if you cant hit pppl or bots in 2042

[Merciless]

Hit reg issues in other FPS games can be tricky to tell. Since we don't have that info available to us. But in BF2042 we have, and it's clear as day, the hit reg in BF2042 is bad. It really doesn't make it any better when the servers also are 45hz.
Too often I see 5 hits on client side and 4 hits on server side which is really frustrating.
Tho I don't expect BF6 to be much better in that regard, but we will see.

What standards?
BF series always had the best netcode of all multiplayer military shooter games.
Any unreal engine game can be immediately stricken out because unreal engine doesn't support lag compensation.
BF _is_ a standard.
And no, it's not perfect. It's just better by a mile than others.

It's ironic you say this since I do BF2042 because it has much better hit detection than blops6/xdefiant. That said yes, hit detection due to internet latency will always be inferior online as opposed to offline and BF2042 servers are no CS or even Valorant/R6 for quality, but they are functional enough.
