The ultimate downfall of this game(besides the crap announcement of Legion Coming Soon) in my opinion is the number of high latency players. Latency so high that the server cannot keep up with their location so they are never able to be hit with bullets. Its bad enough we have this crap hit detection that is RPG hit/miss percentage based when the reticule is red, but adding unnecessary lag ruin the game.
I have ranted and raved about the option of switching battle servers being crap, but of course me being just a consumer, have no say.
Many of the "elite"(and i say this with the most sarcasm possible) have exploited this and their KDRs show for it. I really wish I could believe you guys if you said you play your own game, but the state of the game shows otherwise. You cannot go by hearsay of whatever you have the CPMs monitoring as they were all a part of the "elite".
DEVs,
I ask of you to play your own game in a squad with each other and join different battle servers for a few matches each. You will find that the one where you have the highest latency, will give you the greatest advantage over people. I have tested and seen it. It is the most prominent with light suits due to their quicker movement.
With 1.9 Coming out I saw matchmaking on the list. PING and DROPPED PACKETS need to be a criteria for matchmaking. I could do with a more lenient skill/WP/KDR/etc based Scotty, but he has got to analyse the connection of players.

This is where real matchmaking comes into play. Real matchmaking not only incorporates the skill level of the plaer but their connection quality as well. When there are very few players online I can understand running into people with lag, but when there are plenty to choose from I should not have any connection problems.

It's always seemed to me that Dust is exactly the opposite -- with high ping players having an advantage.
I don't know enough about the netcode to understand if or why this occurs, but I've had that impression for some time now, and I wonder if others do too....
yay someone who isnt a returd!!!
thank you good sir for giving me a little hope about the community

The American Server is located in Texas... the closer you are, the less you ping.
*cue the Hispanic corp rage posts*
But truthfully, if you look at the leaders boards (all time and weekly) and the "known" players in this game... vast majority have something in common. They are west coast, and southwest in the US.
Well that would explain my carppy performance(too a degree). I am in said server state. Im not saying that i would be the best ever but im sure some more of my bullets would hit based off these hypotheses

Ask anyone who got stuck with super lag: They would turn a corner, fire half a clip into someone, only to be teleported back to around the corner they were at originally with all the bullets they fired going into the wall. Then they die cause the guy they were shooting turned the corner and saw them standing still there shooting into a wall.
Or when it over assumes how far you move, and you teleport forward 5 feet and fall off whatever you were standing on, and all your bullets were shooting 5 feet to the left/right of whatever you were aiming at.
If you can't hit them it's not because they are lagging but more likely because YOU are lagging or your framerate is taking a poo/cig break.
the super lag is rare compared to what i am explaining
