What's up with this game. !!

 

Last night i was playing on a European Server (German and UK) with a ping of 180 ms and my hits are registering perfectly whereas when i play on an asian server (singapore or Thailand) with a ping of 63 ms (ideal for MP) my hits don't register so well and cause of which i die several times.

 

What's the logic behind this..Is higher ping better than lower ping..?

No, just that the servers in the Europe and in the western hemisphere are better than the ones here. Better maintanence, better hardware, routing, et al.

 

This is not always true but I can corroborate this happening to me as well.

 

And higher is not better in latency terms.

Ya people always suggest lower pings are better...it gets frustrating while playing on servers that are of close proximity..Well, i doubt they'll sort it... anyways, just play along..

 

Does it make sense, to buy a server..so as not to come across such issues..

Renting a server makes no sense when you can easily find servers with playable ping and performance.

 

Regarding the issues you were facing, the server hosting is very important. Some servers lag a lot while others don't. Being on a bad server (many of the low ping ones are such) defeats the advantage of a high ping.

 

I'd choose better server host (hardware) over proximity (ping) anyday.

Now how would you identify who has better server...Is there a list of it somewhere..

If you play on a server and felt the hit-detection was good, and minimal or no lag, then you can probably find which server provider they are using. Details page has IP addresses, that'd be a start. Or maybe use in-game chat, if any admins are around they will tell you the provider name.

Cool, thanks..last night's matches were pretty decent..Was playing on one of the asian servers itself..Its seems they maintain their servers well...got good amount of kills. From what i have seen till now, this game is good only for Conquest Large cause in other modes (especially domination) the maps reduce in size making it pretty crowded for 64 players..They just pop out from anywhere..

Been playing this again over the last week or so and I think this actually might be in playable shape now. Until the next patch breaks it anyway. :lol:

 

The hit detection is decent, rubberbanding is fixed, didnt run into any glitches and the game even seems to be performing better. GG Dice, only took you like 8 months.

 

The underlying problems still will never be fixed (I still cannot beleive they handed Assault rifles to every class, such a dumb decision SMH) but at least you can play the game now.

How really good is the game? Any overviews?

 

The game is broken especially the MP factor...They are fixing it but still lot of work required. Atleast now, its slightly better than what it was at launch..Even the patches they release work well on Official Servers but they are only available in EU n US region but the ping is pretty high on those servers so basically unplayable...Individual Servers (especially in Asian Region) i have no idea how well they maintain them but from my experience some of them are really bad..Even if your ping is low hits don't register and other bugs..

 

SP Campaign is uh....erm...hmm...No Comments.. :P

Hey guyz, Premium has received a 20% off on Origin store..Is it worth or should i wait for more price drop..?

 

 

Wait till it reaches $20.

Or just go for it via Mexican Store... Why wait to save a few dollars...Its already pretty cheap than it was.

EA corrected the pricing there, prices are up by ~$20 over-all. So Premium goes for $40 now.

Wait till it reaches $20.

 

It will reach that level, three-four months after the next BattleField title is out (and no I do not mean HARDLINE).
