BF3: The worst online experience ever

I had to change my avatar so I don't end up being mistaken for this guy.

Never had problems like those in BF3, however i do agree than the game is pretty bad. After playing 33 hours i just coulnd't take it anymore, the game is simply to dull and isn't even remotly close to Battlefield 2's fun and awesome gameplay that actully required teamwork to win and not just having 1 guy thats really good in a choper that keeps spawncamping the enemy team.

Yeah I thought it was you when I saw the avatar

Its the best hit dection in the series, but its still not great. The problem with bf3 the gun play. But outside of a couple maps they where just horrible. The expansion maps where better but still, bc2 maps where a million times better, and bf2 was night and day.

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"]the hit detection in bf3 is client side it's always consistentJigglyWiggly_

Sometimes a shotgun will instantly kill someone right next to them, other times it would take 2-3 shots to bring someone down.

A rocket or grenade launcher will sometimes kill someone next to them, and other times it won't leaving like 40% health even if it's a direct hit.

Sometimes when you knife someone you don't even see a hit marker, and at times it would take more than 2 slashes even though 2 slashes is all it takes to slash someone due to odd damage model.

I've shot people 1st and then they kill me and they end up with 100% health.

A grenade sometimes can't kill a person right next to them.

You can look up BF3 hit detection on youtube and see how it can be so bad at times.

BF3 hit detection is pretty much as good as it gets. People crying foul are usually pretty bad players.bonafidetk

I also played BF3 on the PS3 and yes it was absolutely terrible. The system can barely run the game in multiplayer.

Most people who say it's bad haven't played a lot of really competitive MP games. BF3s netcode is spotty sometimes, but it's still some of the best around. Cleint side means your shots always count, they might register a bit late sometimes but they still count. 

Not being able to name any better means there are no obvious examples, or you don't play a lot online or you just post this crap because of your never ending tirade against BF3. 

Oh and TC doesn't have a clue either

I don't know why people defend BF3's hit detection, it may work a lot, but it does get really, really ugly when it doesn't work, and that's why you see countless threads and videos showing off how bad it is. 

Is this thread serious? Whining about the PS3 version hit detection in a PC forum?

BF3 has some of the best hit detection around. Stop complaining if you have **** internet, and play on servers below 100 ping.

When you see a guy has 100% health it's usually a glitch on the killcam, they likely took damage. A guy complained in a round when I killed him and said I had 100% health on the killcam, but I had like 40% or something cos his rounds hit me.

People defend it because you can play with huge player counts on high pings and still have a relatively good experience. A game like Tribes ascend if you played with a tonne of people at say 200 ping you wouldn't even be able to hit a guy once. Same goes for a lot of games. BF3s isn't perfect but it's a damn sight better than a lot of other games. 

I will say again, name 5 current MP games that have better hit detection. It's likely you just notice BF3s bad parts more because you sink more time into it than any other MP game online at the moment. If you go play something like Crysis 3's MP or Planetside 2 you will appreciate a lot of what BF3 does more. 

Only problem with BF3 is the knife and how there can only ever be one knife death animation in the whole map at any one time. Meaning if two people go for a knife kill at the same time it won't work. And it glitches

[QUOTE="mitu123"] Or in other cases they don't which is why I see 100% health from the enemy or when I put more bullets than needed to kill one.

Actually I think they went ahead and patched it so multiple people can get knifed. 

I might be wrong though, but I distinctly remember hearing that it was patched after it became known and infamous.

BF3: I still need to play the darn game :P

I also only play on below 70 ping servers as I've said before. Also note I have this game on both 360 and PC, and honestly, they're not even the same game to me. There's actually some gameplay differences not in just large Conquest and high player counts in general but how the vehicles, reviving and other things work. To me the game just isn't as fun on 360 and may even go as far to say it's hit detection is worse on that version. I don't know what it is but it doesn't feel the same on PC either which I can actually get a lot more kills on that version and is just more fun in general. I even read a thread where they say a patch made the hit detection worse on consoles, no lie, might explain that.:lol: Damn shame.

But yeah, and BTW, this video proves that it's patched to allow multiple people to knife at the same time in the game.

I'm more worried about the state of the community, with people still thinking that saying n**ger and making "your mum" jokes during matches is still funny.

That will never change, sadly.

There will always be immature/hateful/Godless people in the world, and when you add the emotions that video games provoke into the mix, bad things are going to be said.

Is it possible that my aszhole has better netcode?

When I have low ping I don't have hit detection issues.

The game has much bigger issues though, as someone above said, torches should not blind you in daylight...

I always get a huge kick out of the people who cry tears in matches about "hackers."  Every time they make a mistake instead of owning up to it or admitting it was a spot of lag or simply a bad move, they type in caps and call the entire enemy team cheaters and their own team a bunch of children.  It makes it more amusing to knife them repeatedly
