Bandwidth means very little in online games, it's your ping to the server that matters. In the case of P2P, it's ping from one player to another.
Yeah im pretty ignorant when it comes to that stuff. My apologies. I have no idea how to check my specific ping on PS4. But speed test.net shows my ping at 1ms. Not sure if that helps. I just know Im getting no lag. But clearly people are as a lot of folks are having the same experience. That really sucks.
Edit: maybe I'm misunderstanding the lag people are talking about. My bars are always fall and I've never skipped around the screen or had anyone else do that. So I've never had lag that bad. But in terms of hit detection or it not matching up with hitting others I'll have to pay attention more closely. I guess I shouldn't be speaking about things I don't understand. My apologies.
Any ideas guys?

This is a lengthy video but it's very easy to understand and explains how you're getting fucked over and why: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoFnIckyoxg
It's worth watching if you have a good connection but are frustrated with dying due to 'odd' lag issues.
Delete and restart maybe.
Interesting stuff, the action/bullet lag in previous CoDs has been like 0.2 - 0.3 seconds for me. In AW it seems like closer to 0.5 seconds.
Uplink is insanely fun. Really fast paced, and flows perfectly with the general gameplay of AW. Been playing mostly ranked so every game has been close, especially since I got out of bronze.
Also, as pretty much everyone else is saying, the lag comp in this game is outright ridiculous. Not the worst I've ever played with in a game, but it's definitely up there. Thinking you're going to win a gunfight because you have the first 3 shots, only to be melted instantly instead is one of the most frustrating things that can happen in a fast paced game like this.

Man, that campaign was a ton of fun. Linear and easy, sure, but filled with constant cool moments and fresh gimmicks each level. It was gorgeous, too.
I haven't really enjoyed a Call of Duty campaign that much since 2 or 4, I reckon. There have been moments scattered throughout the rest of the series, and I appreciated what BLOPS2 tried to do, but this is definitely head and shoulders above the last few.
Is this guy trying to be an ASMR Call of Duty streamer or what?

Added you
Game should arrive this afternoon
Sounds good!
Put in around 3-4 hours yesterday and got to Level 25. Game is so much fun. First COD I've had since MW1 so what better way to jump back in to the franchise.
Some maps are proper shit though in multiplayer and the terribad spawning system is very irritating but otherwise it's a total blast.

There should be a timer on the item card when you view it in the armory. (if it does expire)

So far the only expiring ones I've noticed are "blood shed" and I'm not sure why they do.

I wonder if they will change the exo abilities usage in the future to be more like Titanfall's abilities. Right now most of them seem almost useless because they take too long to activate and do not recharge. Just making them instantly activate would make a huge difference, battery recharge would make them have much more utility.
The ones you get from match challenges like blood thirsty expire. The ones that you get in supply drops don't expire.
At least that's how I understand it. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know if it's beebnposted yet but they are extending double xp to today as well. I just had a message pop up when I started the game.

It's nearly unplayable on my end. Where are these MS servers at?
What exactly does this have to do with the lag or shitty netcode?

Em1 Laser Rifle + Dash Mechanics reminded me of metroid prime ):
All the money they made over the years would think dedicated servers would be no problem, but no
I agree. I do better not trying to use new mechanics TBH. I let everybody just dash right in to my bullets

agreed
I agree. It just doesn't feel right.
Would use it way more often if it was easier (and more fun) to use.
Saying that... I honestly wouldn't know what button(s) to map it to.

Connection issues aside. The game is fun to play.

Feels right and more importantly makes sense since conceptually it's just another modifier of movement as sprinting is which already maps to L3.

I think I'm done for now. Core game is fun, but after quitting for the umpteenth time,and seeing my connection spike yet again, it's making me hate it.
I'll get back to it once net code is sorted out. I've had issues with past CoDs when it comes yo lag, but never as bad as this
My ping constantly fluctuates from 1-bar to 3 in one match. I tried other modes, still the same. It's appaling how cheap Acti is for not springing for servers. When the franchise finally loses juice, this is one of the main culprits why...shit is annoying and it seems Sledgehammer hasn't even acknowledged it.

I'm in the same boat as you. My blood is boiling right now. I'm going to give it one more game right now and see.

Maybe put crouch/prone on L3 and put dash on O
It's the complete opposite for me. Never have I experienced a worse bullet lag in a CoD than this.
