BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

[DanneDA]

Over the last few times that I've been playing I've noticed that the BF2 netcode have gotten progressively worse. Several times it seems like the server didn't recive any control input from me (firing, moving, reloading, whatever). Of course this will lead to that I'll get killed more often.

Also hitdetection have been screwed beyond belief.
I've fired 8 bursts from the G36E into the head of an enemy only getting dust in return, none of the bullets gave any damage, on the 9th burst I killed him. That guy also had major problem hitting me. Must have been very frustrating for him, emptying a clip in me without getting a kill.
I've also noticed that tanks and apcs have a much bigger problem getting kills. I've had an enemy surviving a run over an open area with me firing on him (got the clientside hitdetection stuff).
Surprisingly 100 % of all AT-missiles fired at me have damaged me. Several of them seemed to be fired from inside a wall (according to the smoketrail).

Pain in the ass to kill anyone when their guns work and yours don't.

Also and it now takes 3 shock-paddles charges to revive a guy and only 1 to kill an enemy for most of the time (gotten like 15 shock-paddles kills in like a week, love them).

Am I the only one who are having these major problems?

The only problem I've had lately are those one shot kills from the AK and G36E...I blame that on lag though, I'm usually at 45-50 ping.

Re: BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

are you implying that they have actually altered netcode or hitdetection? or are you implying that its getting worse, much like an aging process?

Neither makes much sense in technical terms. I would guess its either the quality of the servers you play on, or some type of lag from your end. Run some tracert's to the servers you frequent. 1 bad node in there can cause a world of trouble. As far as servers go, some come around and are great, but as they milk out more slots on the box the gameplay can suffer...

Re: BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

For me it's getting worse over time, however there are rounds when everything works perfect. My ping is 10-25 and rarely go above that. This is on every server I play on, no exceptions.
I do have some stability issues with my router (it resets itself for some unknown reason, have NEVER happend while playing BF2 tho), will try another router that I have, see if that works better (however I got a new router because of problems I had with it).

Will see how that works out.

Re: BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

I had this lately with the G36E as well now and then, weird. I hardly ever have a ping above 25.

Re: BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

Its been fine for me, I usually dont get lag unless Im playing on a server from across the pond or one that has high ping. I dont know how it was in past patches but I can relate and say it got worse in BF:V

Re: BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

Nope, you are not the only one. The most common and most frustrating 'unregistration' is the damn knife. The thing never registers when you prone real fast and slash. Also, sometimes when you fire a tank shell by someones feet, then don't die. And a couple more: TV rockets seem to be going through choppers; sometimes a Vodnik or a HumVee doesn't take much damage from a tank shell; the Eryx, TOW, etc. sometimes goes through vehicles, mostly when you get killed while your rocket is airborne; some sniper headshots from close up don't register (just dust); the TV rocket doesn't turn always when you click, or fires late, or reloads twice. I can keep going, but forget it - most of these issues will probably be in 1.3 anyways.

Re: BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

Yeah i stabbed some guy in the face today, just a poof of dust, no kill, he turns round and blows me apart with his DAO

Re: BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

Oh yah, your right it sucks bad. Ive been in servers where i get a ping of 15 and it play worse than higher ping ones. i crawled around a corner to come face to face with an enemy and with the dao shot him 4 times in the face 1 foot away to have him kill me. this is crazy i have comcast and run 2gigs of ram and all in all have agreat system. nothing helps.

I agree, that is very well put misfit. THe netcode would not change on it's own or on a ranked server without your client being modified as well.
I would say that the net code has kind of sucked since they made some of the changes to 1.12.
I think you are experiencing lag. People that have decent systems and can run everything on high usually cannot comprehend the wya that lag impacts your game. They think because they have 2 or 3 gb of RAm that lag is non-existant.

They should make a Jodi Rell BF2 model dont ya think? Its nice to see someone else in CT likes BF2.

It took me about three shots to knife this sniper a few days back, he almost put a bullet in my head but luckily I stuck him. I can see how this netcode thing could **** people off. I feel lucky that I havent experienced anything big like dieing when Im trying to cap some points because nothing registers.

Re: BF2 Netcode now worse than ever

I shot a guy pretty much point blank range in a small house on Oman with a sniper rifle and just a poof of smoke. I was in the house with 2 other friendlies. The enemy proceeded to jump up and start spraying my teamate with lead. He died and the enemy switched to his knife, all the while I have been spraying him with pistol shots. He hops around until he stabs me to death. As I wait to respawn I watch my last teamate unload a whole clip in the guys back but he doesn't die, instead he knifes my teamate and runs out of the house unscathed. I don't know what to think, he should have been dead on my first shot to the head.

Makes perfect sense just because BF2 makes no sense. Ping does not matter whatsoever in BF2 , THE NETCODE IS TRASH, and does get worse at times. Even if everybody is 60ping and under, Still it happens.
Thes best is shooting someone point blank 2 feet away even with shotgun full clip, the for them to turn around to shoot you 1 time. That Just makes everyones day!!!!!!!!!!!
