I was hoping to come back here to say something positive. But this last few days has really tested my patience.
Something is very wrong at the moment. Its been going on for a while but only last few days has become really bad. My conclusion is ping difference between players.
At point blank range, with full health and Armour +20-30 rounds of HMG, only to be shot twice with M12 nova and I die and other player lives.
Point blank. Marshall vs Hammer... 3 shots from marshall and one from Hammer and I die. This is not normal.
Point blank. Feline vs typhoon... 3/4 clip hitting the player only to die from short burst from feline.
Everytime you hit a player it makes a sound like broken glass and their suit flashes, so I know I am not missing.
My friends and squad mates are also experiencing the same thing with a whole range of weapons.
Each time this happens is when players with 350 - 999 ping are in the game. My experience tells me that this is too excessive. On an AUS server my ping will be 50-80, my Asian friends will be around 200-250 and this is fine. But when players over 300 join, things go wrong.
What I am asking is to please limit server ping to300 or 350-400 max. Otherwise its just not fun at all anymore and the game becomes unplayable. I have already made complaints to games.on.net and gamearena.com but only heard back from games.on,net, more than 1.5 weeks after I wrote to them... They are all happy to take your money, but seem to not care about customer service. And doesn't give me any confidence in hosting my own server either.
Yes I am aware some guys will disagree and don't seem to have any issues with high or low ping. But they are a very limited few, not the majority.
A couple more major issues too are players teleporting, and seriously bad lag in CQC. I have only noticed this on certain servers. I have tried to email them, but again as usual I get no response at all. Sometimes a player could be 15-20 m away, and as soon as you fire, he/she is suddenly right in front of you and your dead.
Also there is excessive lag on spawn and respawn.
