My view is there are too many private servers! What I mean is that most that exist seem to be empty most of the time which is a real shame, so I think they are deliberately limiting supply.

I can't find European servers at all these days.

[Havoc856]

Servers are down across all platforms apparently. Even the PH one doesn't let us in to a game

[With these feet]

Oddly I have one saved that let me in, only one in there... Went offline at 4.55.

Seems PC BF4 and BF3 are having problems aswell, server maintenance?
Might the EU servers be available straight after? Seems as a good time as any to make more available.

PSN really does take the piss sometimes. Sunday afternoons are one of the very few times I can get some uninterrupted time on the sofa playing a bit of BF4... ffs

[Havoc856]

It's not PSN, it's EA and DICE. Basically, it would appear that yet again they have been DDOS, either that or they're just totally incompetent

Is it still down then?

[lemmingjames]

No but the connections are shocking

It is pretty poor, the update on Sunday was apparently something to do with correction an issue with the shields - so the non premium players without the latest maps still end up losing time due to an update that still has bugs in it.

Some not so good games for me, not so much fun getting botty raped by level 100+ guys on a 3v2 basis. Especially when you cant chat with the other players on your team

Must admit i saw your name in my gunship sights a bit too often for my liking lol.

However, both you and quivver got your own back by forcing me to come in low to locate you and gently firing an RPG into me a few times!

Breaking even is a good game for me, none of those last night!! I think lag compensation is fking me.

[Devilstreak]

Joined in last night to a game where everyone was in vehicles. Got my arse handed to me.

Plus my headset wouldn't work so I spat my dummy out

You can turn that off in the settings can't you? Think I've set mine to 20% if I remember correctly. Not had a good play around with it to see I actually changes things, has anyone else tested it?

It got a bit better after that game Devil. I did find myself running around the map before noticing no one was around, constantly spotting the vehicles and air support kept me busy though

If I'd been able to talk to quivver we could have had you down in no time by one of us being support of by alternating shots.

I probably play for an hour or so every few days so I'm not the player I used to be. Things like being able to know how much to lead a gun on a running guy makes a huge difference, nowadays you have to pretty much bend over and drop yer trousers at point blank range for me to be able to hit you, lol!

I'll have a look in a bit, didn't think that was an option though.

Only servers available are Australian.

fking EA.

This may explain my lag !

That "should" work in favour of you to be honest.... the more lag between you and your opponents should mean that the "client side hit detection" should be more in your balance.
Every shot fired at you by an opponent will only be reported to the server if your connection is fast enough to report it in time for the specified server delay allowance....if it is not reported within the time frame set by the server then that hit goes unreported (ie. you do not receive damage for that hit).
