I dunno if this has been posted under a different name of a post or something but I need to get it off my chest because it's been egging me on for a while now and decided to put it under Complain since it seemed most like what I'll be doing but has anyone ever had really decent ping in a server but feel like you've met some disadvantage that you SWORE you engaged someone before they could even notice you, or that you opened fire on them first then all of a sudden magically find yourself on the ground with that 15 second death count to appear?
It's happened to me frequently and I've just got around to noticing it when I was in an Iron Gator server. Overall I get around a 50 ping, SOMETIMES 60-65 but usually never higher than that, and the majority of people who come into that server will be around the 100's some at low 200's. What I'm getting at is that at certain points I know I've engaged the enemies so much sooner than they could, and with the ping, they should've been selflessly handicapped as well to have their ping account for that right?
I thought I just had bad anticipation for engaging the enemy till I sat at a flag waiting for it to be neutralized, then capturing it. In that process, as I sat and waited, prone and ready, I die instantly and even had the commander give me a UAV to make sure no one would sneak up on me. I had been under the UAV for a while and I was at the flag all alone so the flag was being neutralized at a very merciless pace. No one was around me, no red dots in the map, not a single UAV blip to signal it... then out of nowhere I die and even hear the gunfire but I've already died by then.
The UAV finally goes off and the guy wasn't behind me, not even next to me. A split second later he shows up and then the rest of the enemy allies spawn in later now that I had sparked the attempt to try capturing that flag.
From then on I noticed a bunch of delay issues, like I'd see someone, KNOW I purposely strafed away from them but find out 1/3rd of my bar is depleted from enemy fire about a second later the sound of gunfire sounded. Again, I constantly checked my ping in the server and it stayed at a constant 50, and then at some other servers, lower than that, some even as low as 12 but the same thing happens.
Is it my computer? My connection? What's going on?
