Ghosts and BF4 multiplayer freaking sucks!

As title,

Been trying to play both these titles online, and it is freaking killing me. Are they broken? Is it just my ping? Int servers the problem?

Ping is 30-40ms to .co.za, 80-120ms to .com's. I get 77 hit markers and absolutely nothing. They hit me twice, down. It's freaking pathetic.

This is seriously turning out to be a PS4 deal breaker for me to be honest. Then again, I believe BF4 on PC is also shot.

//Rant over
 
How much you want for your ps4,Bf4 is not the most stable game on any platform.Are there local servers for Battlefield 4?Sounds like a lag issue if you are shooting them and they are not dying and you get shot and die quickly that shit happend to me in Ghosts on ps3 playing on overseas servers.Have you checked what your ping is to the uk and what sort of connection do you have.

At first I thought it was ping as well, but after going through the whole tracert, ping, bla bla, no hickups at all. All within perfect range for local, and overseas. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I am getting hit markers, but none of the shots are registering. Netcode is all screwed.
 
Wow weird I know battlefield 4 can rubberband but you saying it is for both Ghosts and Battlefield.When you play ghosts is it with locals or overseas rats.
 
Mostly overseas, but there are a few SA dudes I run into. It's not rubberbanding though. It's basically no shots registering. Well, there are a few, but takes a whol mag to do anything. With hit markers on each shot :/
 
Have you phoned telkom and asked if they can do a noise check on your line because i play bf4 with no lag issues at all i normally have a ping of 8-15ms and if you say rubber banding it might be the server itself i have had that a few times where my ping is like 11ms but my game is stuttering so bad that i think i have lag just to see others complain then i realize it's the server

That's the thing bud, there is no rubber banding, or jitter. Just takes 88 shots to bring a dude down. While they hit me 1-2. :(

Line is sharp. Attenuation and SNR is all sharp. Other games are all fine. Just those two.

Then there is only one answer lag due to playing on international servers.Have you previously played on int servers with any other system or is this a new experience for you.
 
I played ghosts MP on ps3 and on the xbox360 from a friend's xbox.

There were no issues.

I was planning on buying ghosts this morning as im getting bored of these free online multiplayer games downloaded from PSN

Did you play warframe or Blacklist and how was the lag when you played because I would hold off on that purchase if the lag was kak.

Played both.

Warframe was okay, extremely boring and graphics sucked.

Blacklight I'm actually playing everyday, its cool and close to something I like, but the ping is around 200ms - 250ms on my unshaped line. There is a bit of lag but nothing bad that will make the experience bad or miss shots
 
Funny thing.
The PS4 guys on GamerNetwork are also complaining about this.
I am on Xbox One and I have no issues.
There is a little bit of lag, but no more than BF3 had on Xbox 360, so it's almost unnoticeable.
I am quite happy with the experience.
 
I think I'm done to be honest.

If anyone is wanting a PS4 that was bought on the 6th of Feb and is in pristine condition, give me a shout.

Going to head back to PC. I play games for MP, so this is a major downer for me :(
 
Strange that your experience with BF4 is so bad. Mine works perfectly fine, no lag, no rubberbanding, hit detection is fine, etc. I did at one point experience a issue where I would keep getting killed by someone with 0 health (I basically killed them but the game didn't register it and they killed me), but the latest patch seems to have fixed it. Played for about 2 hours yesterday with no issues.

Probably for the best considering you play just mp and pc's BF4 has local servers.You might be really sensitive to latency.
 
Wait, what are you playing Bf4 on?

The new gun mechanics which add random bullet deviation can seriously be annoying and make you think the game it completely broken. Shoot just before ADS and your bullets will have insane bullet deviation. Move while shooting and you'll have mad bullet deviation. Even though your cursor is directly on the guy, the bullet deviation just makes the bullets fly everywhere else. Its ridiculous.

Can't comment about Ghosts though.

As per title, PS4 :D

It's literally one to two shot kills on me, and 77 hit detected shots on them. It's annoying to say the least.

on console for me it always feels like a one shot death, especially up close. Obviously if the guy is miles away and has kak aim then you may feel the hits a bit more.

But the hit detection isn't too bad otherwise? Should be 4-5hits and the guy goes down. Although also keep in mind that the first 10 or so shots of your gun wont register for a while.
