Ghosts and BF4 multiplayer freaking sucks!

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.

That's the thing though, I'm coming from a PC background when everything is instant. Went to the 360 for a while in Dec, and was a lot better than the PS4. Not sure if the servers for the PS4 are a little 'slower'? Hit detection happens, but the delay is terrible. More than the 120ms ping I am getting to the server, by a large margin. Feels like it's almost double that.
 
There will always be a tad bit more lag on a console (Especially next-gen) as you have PSN/XBL running in the background doing it's thing.

That being said I play both regularly and I don't really have issues.

When it comes to CoD I find local lobbies 70% of the time, pretty decent considering the PS4's price locally. There international lobbies I do get into are laggy as hell though, there are the odd international lobbies though that aren't laggy.

As to BF, BF has always been laggier than CoD, that's always been the case for me unless it's local servers. I don't typically browse servers though, I just choose a game mode in quick match. There I can definitely feel the latency but it's very easy to counter, so most of the time I pull an easy 2.0 K/D as minimum. There is one problem I do encounter with BF4 though, on some games there is an issue with lag where you will be running and every so often your guy will stop dead then run again. I googled this issue and it's due to BF4's shitty as fuck servers. It's every odd game though, but some nights it's every single game. I also get the one guy that just doesn't die. I shot a whole two clips of my M16A4 while right behind this camper and he didn't take a single hit marker, that is very rare though.

But dude, if you want to get into local CoD lobbies then you should join me and my mate, we jam most evenings and when I'm not jamming CoD I'm playing BF4.

I generally play on 190ms - 250ms.

But are you only playing 64man servers? I've heard its pretty laggy with the larger player numbers.

I was planning on buying COD but this thread seems to put me off a bit, is it only you or other people also experiencing "lag"
 
Done! Will add you tonight and have a go with whatever you are playing. :)

COD is a fair bit better, but it's also a faster game, meaning my old reactions are slowing :) But it is a lot better than BF4. Coming from a 2.5KD on PC to a 0.6KD on console is freaking terrible. It's disheartening to say the least.

At times, but even with the smaller servers, it's the same thing. :/

Blaaislaai, COD is a heap better, and is playable. Just not as good as PC. Because of it being such a fast game, numerous factors come into play. Reflex, input lag, ping, etc etc. So as a ms on each of those, and you will die. :)
