FORUMS_

I had a couple scratchy games this morning but it turned around after a match or two and I wound up doing pretty well. Probably just getting the first couple game jitters out is all I can think of. Ran fairly smooth overall.

Something definitely changed. I'm also lagging today and I feel like they tweaked matchmaking once again. They made the SBMM stronger.

The game was playing better before the most recent update.

I've been having connection troubles the past 4 days after it was really great for me, though today it seemed to have gotten better or I just started playing good again.

There was one match though that was terrible, everyone but two players had 4bars but the match ran on a 2bar for me and my friends with 4bars, and the dude with the 3bar I think finished the match with a 3+KD (We still won.) I would see him first in my screen and shoot at him. NO hitmarkers till the last few in my clip and then I would run behind cover and die literally two seconds later. Not to mention he was dropping me in 3-4 bullets with a surpressor AND I was behind heavy cover (I was on Hijacked in one of those little mini houses, and he shot through the two walls and killed me, killcam showed about 3-5 bullets hit me.) If I take a non silenced AR and try that same thing, I would not kill anyone.

But besides that the day went up and down, better though for sure to me.

Did something Chang in the last 24 hours? I did not see any updates but it feels like I am playing a completely different game. Already noticeable lag issues have gotten significantly worse. I am an ok player. 1.6+- k/d and usually in the top 3 in points in every game   But over the last 24 hours I feel like I am 3 steps behind. I sometimes don't even hear the shots that kill me. And not shots from far away with silencers. I mean point black shotgun shots..no sound just death. Constant magic bullets killing me as I run behind cover. 

 

Also, spawning seems different. I feel like I can not flank the enemy. Someone is always right behind me coming from an area that I just ran through and thought was clear.

 

Maybe just a bad 24 hours for me but something feels significantly different in the game. Anyone else feeling this?

Spawning seems fine but I never noticed it much.

But you are right . around 2 days ago SOMETHING has changed. It seems like for the worst for the time being.

But I usually judge by an entire week instead of just one or two days. Even bad weather can change some things in the game.

The game is playing worse for me now. I hoping it works it's self out.

Past couple of days have been off for me. I still get a good lag free game once in a while but much less as of late.

I was doing fine two days ago on "TU19"  (.19 at the end of the code).  Playing KC getting more kills than deaths, typically.  Even some good games of 2.0-4.0 KD.  (And collecting tags, of course.)

I believe it changed to TU20 when I logged on yesterday evening, at which point there was nothing I could do to get a positive KD.  It was horrendous.  I think I left 15 straight matches after being insta-killed for the first kill.  Would watch my killcams and it would show my bullets flying way to the side of the enemy even though my red dot was dead on target, and then I'd be dead without so much as a bullet sound.  Then patch 21 dropped and I can now at least approach my ~1.0 KD in a game.

At one point I just said "F*** it!" and started running around hip-firing a Skorpion and not trying to defend myself in any way.  It was somewhat silly when I beat half the lobby (in XP, SPM) going 14-34 one game, and 16-18 the next.  Having never practiced hip-firing, it does seem like you could get good at it pretty quickly.  Maybe if I turned down my movement from 8 to 4 or 5 it would be even easier.  Might become a go-to tactic in the future.  Or maybe start trying quickscoping.. there's an idea..
