Because there are less people playing these days so you are getting matched with players from farther away. Expect it to get much worse as more and more people quit playing.

On average I get shot through walls about 3 times per game. The hit detection on melee attacks is so bad now I just shoot at close ranges.

https://youtu.be/t5aOJE3SFkA You mean this kind of lag right?

True melees don't deal damage even though they do and you hear the sound. And matchmaking take forever now

Not one game today with a stable connection. Complete shit

Hello everebody, The biggest lag problems players from europe get isssssssss...... U.S. Every time playing the trials and got matches with US players its a certain 5-0 loss. Why do we have less problems in the iron banner?

I don't know why people say this, I personally NEVER experience this! People need to get off McDonalds WIFI

The matchmaking equation has definitely been changed to prioritise skill over connection, which is completely backwards as you can't judge skill in games where latency is an everlasting problem. I'm from Europe and now a days most of my opponents are from the US (I'd say 8 out of 10 games) also just the other day I was playing in the morning and got thrown into Japanese lobbies, this happened two days in a row. Why on earth would it ever throw me into a Japanese server when I'm from Europe? It's no fun been yellow or red bar in a game where everyone else is green even though you're paying good money for good internet to ensure you don't lag. Besides that it clearly shows games where the pings are shown as green but you're getting shot through walls or around corners. Yesterday everytime I got pinged by a bodyshot I would try get out as usual but it's impossible when you can't even rely on cover to save you from a cleanup, this makes playing good players (all I seem to get now) very frustrating. I don't mind playing competitive games, I would run into top tier players quite frequently before this patch it just wouldn't be EVERY game. How are you supposed to warm up if first thing you're been thrown into a sweaty game with lag to boot. If you don't believe what I'm saying go sit in some top tier players streams and see what the chat has to say, everyone is experiencing the same problems I'm having and it's making this game really frustrating. This could quite easily be resolved by doing the following: 1. Create ranked playlists where people can play competitive matches based upon rank (if you're rank 1 you play rank 1 players, if you're rank 50... Yup). However this should still place connection over skill everytime - this rule should never be broken, if you have to place a couple of rank gap for a good quality game this is better than playing in a lag fest for all players. Create separate rules in ranked playlists (No exotic armour, no heavy, slower/ no special on spawn and less special spawns making gaining special a tactical exercise, possibly slower ability recharge rates including super?). 2. Keep public playlists as a place to play and have fun, test guns out and goof around etc. if you don't feel like playing competitive games you shouldn't have to.

I'm regularly getting matched into entirely wrong REGIONS. I can't even get matched up in the right country. What the hell.

It seems to be pretty bad with storm callers especially, idk if it's because of all of the crap that appears on screen when they start shooting lightning or what.

Lmao, yesterday I looked the radar real quick after a confusing fight and saw nothing just to get blasted by a shotgun shot in the back. I swear that guy came from beneath the ground.

The worst is when you play trials and the last guy alive is a red bar, he hits you and then you kill him only to die right at the beginning of the next round
