I made this post just to discuss nice daily issues I'm facing in our nice game Crysis 3 ... (Thanks to Crytek & EA)

- First of all I want you to know that I live in Qatar (Work Purpose) and I have 1 MB internet line only ... living there makes me the only person in this country or even in middle east playing Crysis 3 , that means no other single player plays the game in Qatar .... (Thanks to Crytek & EA)

- For internet speed I Inevitably get over 150 Ping on any server (Thanks to Crytek & EA), so while others have 100 ping I would have 300 which give them a huge advantage against me .... and yes if your ping is small then the instruction from your PC will reach server earlier than when your ping is high, so a lot of players I'm facing see me even before I see them .... (Thanks to Crytek & EA)

Now to the serious part and enough talking about myself:

1) I go daily to choose a nice server to enjoy my time, C3 has almost 1000 PC players so now after a long time these players playing it are all expert and got used to the game, small community (Thanks to Crytek & EA) means you won't be able to enjoy because you know all players there and they all got used to the game and playing it on daily basis which makes them all normal or expert players ...

--------------------------------------------------------------

2) Pole - shield - jaw - bow - rhino - Ltag - air stomp -REX - Gauss all one shot kill if you don't have aa equipped, seriously?????? (Thanks to Ceytek & EA), this is the way I die all day ... (moving to another server where all this don't exist won't help because of lake of nice servers and players, max 6 servers, 3 of them are not full and I'm banned on two of these 3) (Thanks to Ceytek & EA)

--------------------------------------------------------------

3) For AA , low ping guys have huge advantage over me (high ping) when using aa cause my bullets won't hit them at all, even when reflex red dot on their body it won't activate their aa ... (high ping player know what I mean) .... (Thanks to Ceytek & EA)

--------------------------------------------------------------

4) Never to mention game crashes, laser or DSG with reflex , or even marshall with aa which btw every single player now (whether he is good or not) is using it .... I'm sorry guys but only one person worthy of using it, devil14uk which happens to be best C3 player (with marshall or any other weapon) ...

--------------------------------------------------------------

5) Oh and one more thing, for all nerdy players , and because of our small community (Thanks to Ceytek & EA) , when I kill a good player, why the hell do you search for me in the whole map just to give me pay back ????? come on man there must be 7 other players you can enjoy killing so if i killed you once why the hell do you try to search for me just to get revenge .... I would say go get a life bro ......

--------------------------------------------------------------

6) Although C3 is my first online multiplayer game, but why all the hate in this community?? I've never went to match without seeing players calling each other noobs or vote kicking someone ..... (Thanks to Ceytek & EA)

--------------------------------------------------------------

(Thanks to Ceytek & EA), Crysis 3 is going sharply down, and once BF4, Titan Fall or other FPS games come, C3 will be no more .... don't misunderstand me, C3 still and will always be my best game , but sorry I'm very disappointed ....

P.S. this is what I'm facing daily and my opinion only, you might have different opinion about the game ....

While I respect your right to post an opinion in the forums, I don't think it will do much good.

These forums were abandoned long ago and it's pretty much a desert wasteland now. Even Crysis 2 forums were more active a good year and a half after release.

I don't even see a reason to visit the forums these days. It's the same 1-2 threads being posted or replied to. I already know how much this game has issues so no need to read threads anymore lol

Best I can say is, I'll see you in the game at least.

These forums were abandoned long ago and it's pretty much a desert wasteland now.

Yeah, "desert wasteland" pretty much describes this. Some days half of the posts are mine :/

At least there are still enough players and servers in Europe to have some good matches!

Yeah, It's a shame. I know the developer has a lot of issues as far as community support and ongoing game support, but I think the community played a big part in the downfall of the game. So much negativity thrown around in the forums only fuels fire and alters people perception of the game. Case in point, if all you read is bad things, then what new player is going to want to play? Crysis 2 had its issues but the community was so awesome and really worked together. I'd say the blame is 70:30 (%) Crytek:Community.

So it's all EA and Cryteks fault that you have bad Internet and high ping? Sounds like a lot of your problems would be solved by getting some better Internet.

I've heard this "get some better internets lawl" statement a lot, but it means nothing and makes absolutely no sense. He could have the best internet in the world and it would do absolutely nothing for him, his ping would remain exactly the same. It's all about geographic location in relation to the server, on which connection speed has next to no impact.
E.g. I've played Crysis 2 on 128kb/s DIAL-UP just fine, it had no impact on my ping...it was exactly the same as an 8mb/s connection.

Most US players won't know this due to being blessed with ultra-low pings in almost every online game they play thanks to US being the world's largest central game server hub. US players never have to deal with a lack of local servers, they are always getting the best possible online gaming experience. When they scream "omg lag!" I smile, because for that moment they experience what playing from far-away countries feels like PERMANENTLY.

Server options scale with number of active players from all over the world, and Crysis 3 has jack-all active players...therefore server options are extremely limited. At least half the remaining active Crysis 3 servers are US-based, putting them firmly out of reach for anyone who lives far away from there.

Meanwhile in BF3 I can comfortably find at least 10-15 active servers located close to me that give me a great ping. Lots of players coming from everywhere, lots of active server options for everyone.

It's all about location, and the OP lives in Syria. It's 7000 miles away from US. I'm not in full agreement with the OP, he's blowing a lot of hot air (except the part about OHK weapons and AA which is obviously true)....just pointing something out

So it's all EA and Cryteks fault that you have bad Internet and high ping? Sounds like a lot of your problems would be solved by getting some better Internet.

Well I guess XuviaI said everything needs to be said , except the fact that my 1 MB internet line is a fiber optic line , and I get a download speed of almost 200 kb/s , so it's not internet speed , it's the small community for Crytek which made them get no servers close to me (somehow related to low commercial of the game when it was released) !!!!

That was 100% precise , thanks

2) Pole - shield - jaw - bow - rhino - Ltag - air stomp -REX - Gauss all one shot kill if you don't have aa equipped, seriously?????? (Thanks to Ceytek & EA), this is the way I die all day ...

Yes while I can agree with most of what you said.. the one thing that is consistent in this game is the inconsistency.. None of those weapons or methods are OHK when you add in ping, server location, time of day and player location... Air Stomp is probably the worst.. I can stomp right on a guys head and he wont die, and someone can stomp right next to me immediately after and I die instantly.. and the same applies to pole and shield.. even these are never consistent for me..
Prime example of the bow below.. add ping, and "auto aim" is just a figment of peoples imagination... And as an avid bow user I see this every single day.. nothing in this game is consistent anymore, and only speed hacks can be certain, all other hacks can be let to run loose in the game because they all solely rely on the kill cam which is so broken its not funny and not fair at all to those of us who are still committed to the game.

And to add insult to injury the stupid youtube embed code doesn't work here anymore.. aaaahhh ffaaaarrrkkkk...

Problem is, that the whole hit detection, client detector, ping and net code is fcked up in this game. even a game from 2003 has better issues in that mentioned things.

while i m playing mostly dsg r, i get no hitmarkers when i m on the head or body. this happens often, and also with the takedown.

furthermore all players are laging, maneuvarability makes it even worse. while i had 15 ping in c2, i have 50 ping in c3, and it feels like 200 ping.

even the quake 3 has bigger player base and punkbuster than this ea mastershit game

C3 netcode is largely fine as long as both you and your enemy are below 150ms ping (180 max).

What you are experiencing with DSG-R is the inaccuracy caused by moving while shooting. In Crysis 2 a DSG was 100% accurate if you were shooting while strafing or even jumping/falling...it was considered a bug by some, as if being accurate on-the-move was a bad thing in a freaking Crysis game

In Crysis 3 DSG-R has an accuracy penalty while moving/strafing and your bullet will randomly deviate from where you're aiming. You need to stay still when you take the shot, or put up with the accuracy loss. In close range it doesn't matter much but over medium-long range you will start missing headshots. Shooting while jumping/falling is even VERY inaccurate, don't even do it unless it's an emergency.

One would say this was done to hinder pro-level players from completely dominating with DSG like what happened in Crysis 2, but Crysis 3 already has TONS of anti-pro tools (one-hit weapons/abilities, Pinger, Auto Armor, etc).

lol I can see the difference between pings and a rhino noob :p , I'm sure you shot him 4 times or more but that doesn't mean there's no aim assist , it does exist and differs from server to another ...

yep correct , minimum ping I'm getting is 150 which gives my enemy a huge advantage, the game is broke I guess ...

Lol.. 150? for me it makes no difference whether I play on AUST server or EU server.. ping difference is the same if not worse at times. For me normal/good ping is 200-300 on US or EU servers. All Asian and Indian players will get min 150 no matter where they play as there is no longer an SG server available. Ping compensator in the game is totally random and inconsistent, so that's not much help either.

Example below is a typical example of what I am up against on Australian servers in almost every game. Sometimes I feel like I am the only Australian player left in the game.. haha.. And it makes no difference if they are noobs or pros.. ping difference like that is not fun and extremely hard to play.

I get 150-200 ping on all european servers and 250+ ping on every AU/US servers.. This game has very bad hit detection no matter i have low ping or high ping then my opponent, so playing with DSG+R/Takedown is very frustrating for me...

What you are experiencing with DSG-R is the inaccuracy caused by moving while shooting.

This happens in BF3 too but i never knew it happens in c3...

personally, this would be one of my very favourite games if hot detection, ping, weapon balancing, and recoil would be fixed. at least it would be one of the most competitive shooters.

Your ping is small which is good, which means you see other players before they see you, probably server will give them the advantage while shooting at you but you should see them before, I wish I can get such ping ...

Something I notice when I play and when looking at these screenshots or videos, the game balancing svckS, it always stacks way more level 50s on one team against lower players on the other team, wtf is that about?

That mostly happens when people playing in squads...

In theory you are correct.. however thanks to the inconsistency in the game, the compensator doesn't always work. So while I may have low ping on an AUST server, I rarely have any advantage, but when I do get it, I notice it straight away. Its the same for EU and US servers too.. when compensator is working its great, but its rare and I suspect is forcing people from the game.

I also have an issue with origin crashing, and taking 80% of my hit detection away from C3. If I don't run origin its even worse. So stupid to have a third party program dictate how this game works.

Just to clarify, I'm playing on PC but it doesn't look like they are squads because they're not in the same clan or anything and it's something that happens with C2 also

Just to clarify, I'm playing on PC but it doesn't look like they are squads because they're not in the same clan or anything and it's something that happens with C2 also

just because they don't use same clan tag doesn't mean they are not in squad.. you will know they are a squad when the teams are always the same... when playing with friends or even clan mates, we don't always use the same tag unless there are just a few of us.

Ok makes sense, but it seems like EVERY game there are 3 or 4 level 50s along with higher ranks on one team and maybe 0 or 1 level 50 along with lower ranks on the other team EVERY game every server. The games are rarely close.

Here is a pro tips if you're getting owned by opposing team, either quit your game or switch teams..
