I tried to like this game again. I really did. But now I hate it more than I ever thought I could.
I joined a server earlier today where I had a 17ms ping. I figured it would be almost like a LAN, weapons would actually work and all that.
I was wrong. This changes everything.
First, I hit a bomber with a tank round. It was in mid dive, so I had a straight shot into the pilot's face. I got a cloud of dust and it dropped its bombs, killing the **** out of me.
So I figured, "Maybe it's just fast-movers. I'll try things on the ground and see how it goes."
It went poorly. I was capturing a flag when an FAV rolled up. Neither of the people in it seemed to have seen me. So I slowly snuck up behind them, waited until I was at a range where there should have been NO CHANCE in HELL that I could miss. Then I unloaded my G36C into the back of one guy's head and went to work on the other one. As I started to aim at the second guy, it registered in my mind that I didn't get any hit indicators on the first one, and no points had been awarded. So as I was shooting the second guy in the head, getting dust puffs the whole time, the first guy turned around and I died. I didn't even see a muzzle flash, I just fell over dead.
If the hit detection is still this lame after nearly five years, screw BF:BC2, and screw the new MoH that they're doing the MP for. I have no confidence in Dice at all. Dust poofs like that, I'd expect at 100ms+. At 17ms, people should die when you shoot them.
