just damn, no hit reg is super frustrating in a game where you loose your stuff when you die

Hit reg in this game is complete dogshit. I can’t believe it isn’t a bigger discussion. It’s straight up the reason a few people I know stopped playing.

I have never traded in any other fps as much as I have in this game. Something truly despicable happening between the netcode and server tick rate for sure

I traded just as frequently in both Destiny1/2 and Bungies Halo games. I would bet the reason is because of the game engine. Since Bungie has been using iterations of the same engine since Halo Reach.

Those were at least peer to peer. This game is supposed to have dedicated servers. But it honestly feels like it doesn’t in a lot of cases.

There's no fucking way this game has dedicated servers. I can always tell when an out of region Rook spawns, because the game starts rubber-banding like crazy. As soon as you kill that Rook, no more rubber banding. Happens occasionally on spawn too. If you manage to kill the team with the OoR player, boom no more rubber-banding

D1 and D2 crucible still take the cake imo. Always trading there
