AC7 Multiplayer is horrible

[Galahad]

I've been trying to get the camouflage for the YF-23 by winning 3 times in battle royal. I'
ve done at least 50 battle-royal sorties and I've only won once. Because you get a group of normal skilled people and then this random japanese dude comes along and ***ing destroys everyone in the server and stays in there for hours. It's just stupid to have a multiplayer that doesn't take people's skill into account as once i've got the skin i'll probably never play multiplayer again.

Cheaters? That'll be something that can explain what happened here.

I've seen a player who's a crack shot with EML and he seems legit, except if he's spamming multiple shots of that SPW, which can ruin your day.

Just get better, I guess.

He never said anything about cheating, just someone that he can't beat.

Oh.

I'm thinking from OP's post that this random dude destroys everything and said that:

My first thought of this is a cheater that spam-shooting missiles on ALL players in the game. I've seen cases like that once or twice here. Literally kills fun and "bandit splashing" skills here.

I could be wrong, though. If it's not cheating, then this random ♥♥♥ dude could be a very skilled one like the one I met before. He's a crack shot with EML in his X-02S.

PA should allow skilled bots when no players, also, it would make for a good SP dogfight mode.

Some players are just very good, but I also think they should handicap themselves somewhat, least they help kill the online faster by scaring noobs.

If you don't wanna be a QAAM ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥,
make an F15C with SASM, enter a room full of noobs and hit them head on. Launch a SASM per loop. This also works for experienced players who aren't experienced enough to know to avert head-ons from SASM players.

Noobs come out during sales.

A bunch of them do handicap themselves. It's usually the not actually that great players that just want to clean up the lobby constantly with their best set up.

I left battlefield v and still haven't gotten passed level 40 yet that is when i first pre-ordered the game. there are so many cheaters who used Aimbot and Wallhacks. I bought this game because of the graphics and it is based on modern air crafts. i wouldn't buy this if it wasn't. I wish they ban hackers for all games like they did with a youtuber that got banned for LIFE .. he was crying and making excuses for his Aimbot. I was like good ban his stupid self without amnesty.

What I know is that this game doesn't implement VAC or such, like EAC and stuff for game ban. Bamco have their own anti-cheat system, which can still be bypassed by cheat developers. And no... it doesn't implement game bans and such, unlike PUBG and such.

Compare CS:GO or any Valve games with this game. VAC always ban people who have cheats active in the game memory. And there are tons of reviewers who can watch your games and can give you cooldown and/or permanent game ban for Minorly Disruptive or Majorly Disruptive offense. To say that only bunch of people touched MP in this game, anti-cheat for this game is so basic that people can bypass it again and cheat. Literally kills fun and the ethical way of splashing bandits.

Bamco should have implement VAC, like the way CAPCOM and their released Resident Evil 6 game, or Activision and their released Call of Duty games, do. It's more effective that way than using their own anti-cheat system, that the VAC-banned users will be given restrictions, and... more of the users that banned in this game flocked to VAC discussion pleading to be unbanned (seriously, it's hilarious there, with almost 99% of the WHOLE unbanning posts locked).

AC multiplayer has always been terrible. The best MP in the series was that of assault horizon, but it was also flawed in so many areas, like those absolutely horrible small maps and just only to begin with.

One way to make MP better would pass only by making physics realistic. The first and foremost most important thing to apply to the physics would be that you cannot make turns at high speeds like in real life. This would force everyone to dogfight withhin the limits of subsonic speeds, like also happens in real life.

Second thing would be the climbing speed even when you try doing it a very low speeds =you cannot accelerate here like in ace combat 3. That would make it more realistic too.

These two alone would make multiplayer better by not allowing everyone making full speed turns, or climbing at full speed etc maneuvers.

Then it would come the special weaons issue. Of course all of them banned, the only way to play fair.

we can't do anything about cheating though, too bad, they have ruined a great game. so many great games out there, unfortunately, everything is ruined because of hackers. we could cry all we want hahahahah all corps won't do anything about it.

Yep, and they will only care about money, not what the consumer wants for a fair and stable gameplay.

I'm not saying that they're bad, but sometimes they listen to us. People are asking SO MANY demands that a corporation can't keep up and said, "♥♥♥♥ this, I'm outta here!" that sort of thing. We're one between millions of users asking for a feature that they can maintain, and anti-cheats like VAC, EAC, BattleNet, etc. are among them.

ACI though.

It's regrettable not to feel like playing ac7 just as much as past entries. AC7 SP missions haven't sticked with me just like happened with ac5 to me as well. AC is always one of those must have games for me, and when I don't like some particular installment It just feels so bad, like from 2004-'06.

If you are goona bet your game's longevity on the MP, then at least make it good. Still, an ac whose SP missions are not replayed on a daily basis for years can only mean so much.

The Belkan War had also MP and the SP missions were galaxies beyond fun/replayability wise.One can only hope AC8 not to have MP, now that time+money combo are so meaningful for developers, since tech got harder in the end. Even UE takes time. All sources on SP should be the way to go.

[RAWRmonger]

I have only seen 2 defacto cheaters during my tens of hours of MP. You people are blowing it out of proportion.

Uh... daily basis for years? I'm very, very sure that only a fraction of costumers do that.

That would be a fine shot in the foot. If anything they need to improve their MP, god knows I wouldn't have 250 hours of played time if not for MP. All the people I know with tons of hours played got it from MP.
