The official Battlefield 4 thread

Earlier when the African servers were down I went and played on an English server. My pings were a constant 150ms and didn't have any problems playing, no lag whatsoever. So ja, I thought having the lowest ping was the be all and end all when it comes to online gaming??

I had several one-on-one's on that server where I even had the chance to switch to my pistol and still killed the guy, so what gives? Not that I'm complaining, but just curious...
 
Lag compensation? If you have a steady ping it should work.

So I've been struggling to find SA servers playing china rising (CR) - and started playing on German servers (ping 180).
2 things I noticed:
- the maps load faster than playing on local servers (any maps, game modes)
- I play lag free! no rubber banding or lag?

From my perspective the game experience is fantastic - only drawback is not all the german servers allow pings of 150+; but even so there are enough servers to play CR on

i'd have to agree ... beeon on some of the EU servers and i must say maps load a mil times faster
no lap even though pings are very high, what are they doing that the idiots here are not!

i eventually go on in the early evening
 
Yeah, I have no noticeable issue playing international servers when it's normal infantry combat, but the minute I get into a jet or chopper and my ping is +150ms, sometimes things get jumpy, the lag compensation (I think) doesn't get it completely right. Same thing happens in BF3.
 
I get bored on German servers. No lag and smooth, but no rage or chatting. They just play. Love it lol. Used to play metro on their 64 player servers. No haxors and exploiters. Got great scores there, makes you think how legit some of our local guys are.
 
yeah I have also experienced that. Tons of noobs on the international servers.
 
new patch screwed something up alright

this morning in a matter of an hour, had 3 crashes...

so much for a flawless "no crash" spree :(
