Anyone else notice the ridiculous accuracy issues with ps4 with this game? I have had multiple time that i have point blank shot an enemy with a shotgun and they had almost full life after they killed me or beginning sniped by a trench gun from across the map. You think this has to do with possible lag? I'm curious if there isn't a killcam since it might reveal some lag issues. One instance I can remember getting shot up by someone who hadn't turned around yet. Also I've had boxes fail to open and I get nothing because of connection issues.
Battlefield 1
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Oct 21, 2016
The long-running Battlefield series goes even further back in time in the 15th installment, this time to the first World War.
Some ridiculous dice rolls for accuracy, no killcam?
Honestly it may just be coming from Overwatch the controls feel very loose and inaccurate. Whenever I get killed in Overwatch I get why, half the time I get killed in Battlefield I feel like it's just luck
Well killcams weren't around during WWI, soooo...
Neither was color

I've shot motherfuckers, point-blank, in their face with a shotgun and it had no effect. Then I promptly get dropped in a split second.
Did Battlefield ever have a killcam? Seem to remember that being something that was jarring to me when I played Bad Company 2 after years of COD.

Are you telling me WWI was completely fought with Dogs
The shotgun is highly suspect. I have almost no problem with any gun I've used so far. Decided to get the shotgun and give it a go. I could not kill anyone with it. There was a couple times when I was very close to someone and hit them with three shots for 50 dmg. But then again I've somehow had people shoot me from way far away with two shots and kill me with it.
@bojackhorseman: All Battlefields only show where you're killed from.
Killcams are rubbish for netcode issues anyway since it's the server view and that one is always different from the player view in an online game.
Shotgun spread is very random in frostbite Battlefields, so weird stuff can be expected.
1. Killcams aren't something that I really remember being in Battlefield games. Then again, I haven't played BF4 or Hardline, so what do I know?
2. The problem with accuracy, as far as I can tell, all has to do with latency. We tested it in-house at my workplace (I work at a LAN gaming center), and sitting right next to a teammate and watching when I shot versus when it showed up on his screen, there was a small enough delay that he was able to dodge half of the shit I shot at him. It sucks, but it's also something to be expected from a 64-player online shooter within the first few weeks. Those kinks will probably get worked out.
3. The shotguns just don't feel good at all, and I'm not even talking about accuracy. There's just a wonkiness to them in general. I understand that they are WWI guns, so they are going to be a bit unwieldy in some ways...but I've shot a Remington 10-A before, and it definitely isn't as bad in real life as it is in that game. So I don't know.
@bojackhorseman: no kill cam (as in replay) but it would show you who/where it came from in relation to you.

Yes and it was all a musical.

ba dum tss!
I've had multiple instances where I am shooting people and the hits don't seem to register. I've mostly seen it with LMG's while I am laying down. It's either connection issue related, or it is detecting me hitting debris that aren't there. It sucks, but it has happened so infrequently I don't mind.
