Lol. I have been having some really good games since the update, will be interesting to see if it was the TTK change or just me getting better at the game/luck.

Not sure if I have encountered the issue you guys talk about with the net code, definitely you can be killed easily but you can also kill people easily. I know that if I aim correctly I get the kills, so the reg is good for me. I am playing on PC so is probably different to PS4/Xbox, so you can't really compare.

Agree the top gunning position is a suicide seat, a shame as it's a good gun. When tanking I usually go with the light tank with the main gun set as a heavy machine gun, you can get a lot of kills with that set up against infantry. Especially good on Aerodrome or Twisted Steel on the bridge.

Deffo happening on PC as well mate.
short clip of it here
I have no problems personally with killing people or being killed easily in a few shots as I will get the chance to react or at least know I've been shot a few times. It's when the above happens from the vid when you can see they die instantly to a STEM which cannot 1 shot someone at full health and you get no chance to react or do anything.
I know the others here have had issues with the game in general but for myself, it's been perfectly fine.

That clip sums it up perfectly Raffe. As I said earlier, why would you keep coming back when that happens.

The point is though that all of the BF games have been the same for me, either instadeath or hits simply not registering. So either my 9ms connection isn�t, actually, or it has to be either the netcode or the matchmaking that has issues.

I personally believe it�s their attempt to make each new iteration of the game fairer all round. Then, after the core community [the multiple kill fraternity] complain, we get these changes. This time it seems to be gathering an awful lot more attention, but it�s always happened within a month or three after launch.

I remember a time when such a style of play would have most battlefield fans screaming COD insults all over social media. Not that they�re wrong of course. I�m surprised DICE would want it to feel more hardcore.

I think this battlefield is more cod like than any before

If that�s the aim, I�m not sure I�m onboard. COD is COD, BF has always been BF. That was the point.

Will keep an eye out from now on and see if I experience it.

It's definitely still Battlefield.. big maps, vehicles, destruction etc and I think the TTK encourages more tactical play and puts a greater emphasis on squads working together.

I hope so or my planned Christmas gaming session will be short lived (assuming I�ve been good for goodness sake!) I wonder which the elves chose, PC or PS4...

Do you play it with keyboard and mouse or a controller?

Mouse and keyboard, don't think it would be possible to react quick enough with a controller versus others using m+k.

I have been thinking of getting a controller and giving flying a go, now that there's a practice mode. I dug out my old MS Sidewinder joystick the other day but unfortunately, there's no joystick support
