As you guys know my love for Battlefield runs hot and cold. I love playing with you guys, new maps and content support for the game has been excellent. It looks good and runs great and I know that there is a lot of fun to be had with the game. I have issues and to differing extents I think we all have, well if the moaning I hear is any indication.
There are several small things but the biggest issue for me and I think many others is the "unjust kill". You know you had the drop on the other guy, you see the bullet impacts but they just don't die. Instead they turn and shoot you dead. This is due to netcode issues that game suffers from. The information of your shots simply don't get to the server in time or the desync. Desync is your game and the other guys game are mismatched. To you the other guy is in front of you so you shoot. But from the other guys perspective he is three steps behind or infront and you are missing. The server check the relative position and discounts all of your hits. You think you hit him but in reality you missed but by opening fire gave away your position. The result is a rage quitting "unjust kill".
The CTE program is a beta test environment where the developers test out new stuff. EA has given DICE LA another year to continue to support BF4. So they are still working on the game until the end of the year. I'm real interested to checking out CTE and if it's as good as I think it might be I might suggest some of you do the same.
I uninstalled BF4 a few weeks back because of space issues on my SSD. There just was not room for both BF4 and Titanfall. Well Titanfall is off and BF4 is going back on but I will be trying out the CTE to see if the new netcode can resolve my rage quit issues.
