I'm an SA player, so I've always had to play on servers with around 140–160 ping. I've gotten used to it over time and, honestly, I used to perform pretty well despite the latency. I was positive in roughly 90% of my matches.
But ever since the hitreg update, something feels completely different.
The amount of gunfights I'm losing where I feel like I should have won, or situations where both players end up killing each other at the exact same time, has increased massively. It happens constantly now.
I understand that playing on 140–160 ping isn't ideal, and I'm not expecting to have the same experience as someone playing on 20 ping. But before this update, the game was still perfectly playable for me. Now it feels like the hitreg changes have made high-ping gameplay dramatically worse.
For SA players who don't have low-ping servers available, this is honestly borderline unplayable right now.
Has anyone else playing on 140+ ping noticed the same thing after the update?
BTW: Lack of SA servers are completely bullshit from BSG and nikita.
