I have no proof

What The French is an old corp who have some nexlevel aim and ability to dodge bullets, whether from lag from EU or just skill, we will never know. Satori in a scout suit is hell though.

So let me get this straight, if a corp is dominating a team (happens all the time), they must be lag switchers right?

All I can say is, welcome to Dust, where a team can get absolutely steamrolled with no chance whatsoever. It sucks, I know, it's annoying, I know... but when the formula of players on the other team is in such harmony, the devastation can be insane.

lolno

The servers are laggy sometimes.


TRUE lag switching only works on P2P matchmaking when the server IS the host. He engages his lag switch to basically freeze people, and kill them.

You can use lag on dedicated servers, but you'll be skipping around the screen, till the servers kick you out (assuming the servers in DUST do that.

I can download something while playing, basically creating lag, but it won't help me (unless i run a scout suit + shotgun + speed mods).

Chances are, the servers are lagging due to the influx of players...

Lets not get into this again as last time it got locked

I wouldn't call it lagswitching if there obviously wasn't any lag, the lag was outrageous. Shooting a guy 30 times for the game to freeze, have me skip around the map and I end up dead. I'm not an idiot. I know when I'm getting decimated by being outplayed and outgunned but when there is obviously some type of force outside of my control dictating the outcome of gun fights, I'd like to think something is wrong.



A mature and informative answer, thank you. I learnt something new about lagswitching. There was definitely a lot of lag going on, the growing amount of players coming to this game could be the cause. What I didn't understand was how the lag was affecting us so badly yet the opposing team was doing more than just fine. Could it have been skill? Maybe, I guess I'll never know.

I didn't know you could use lagswitching for dust. I have never seen this myself, but anything is possible. But i doubt it.

Title, It's true people. Just got done playing 2 games of Ambush. Both times I was paired up with "WHAT THE FRENCH" Corporation. I have no proof it was them specifically but I could hardly imagine that it'd be anyone else after 2 games or obvious lagswitching.

Both games our team got destroyed, I joined late and still got the Highest score which was 2/4. Everybody on our team was either being disconnected by the switch or Just leaving the game after they realized what was going on. No one on the opposing team had more than 2 deaths. I wish we could take screenshots and upload them, I hate making accusations without proof.

Anyway, just avoid "WHAT THE FRENCH" If you can, they're obviously composed of Call of Duty players who couldn't adapt to a not braindead easy game.... Thats of course if they weren't lagswitching it there as well...

^ This. And also there's been some big punch-up in EVE over the past couple days, Devs say they're noy supposed to affect each other but maybe all the kinks aren't ironed out yet.

And who are you... no seriously ?!
WTF (pun intented) is this all about.

I probably wasn't in the games you mention, but SKILLS is not the same as lagswitching.
Dude I don't know how long you have been playing this game, but most of the peeps in our Corp have been playing since this summer, they have all (well except me...) met in MAG and none that I know of seriously played this c.o.d. thing you're talking about.


I'm getting sick of these n00bs that get slaughtered and need to find excuses. If you went 2/4 then you obviously aren't all that good are you, and the rest of your team must have seriously sucked to put it bluntly like that.
Itchi, Tracky, Stellios, Chaos, Gloo, Caz (?), Flo and prob 1 or 2 others where in the top 100 (most in the top 50) of the Kill-leaderboards before the server switch. Seriously dude I think you simply got in Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over your head.


Next time you get slaughtered on the battlefield tell yourself this : They are simply better organized, have better skills and more experience...

Your own defeat isn't the fault of the game lagging. The game lags tremendously since yesterdays EVE war. Not our fault.
Now go back to the battlefield, get some skills and then come back, request a corpmatch and you'll see who's laggswitching... or not.


Peace to you dude, but next time think before posting unfounded and dumb assumptions.

I'm only going to say this once, so please pay attention. It is not possible to use a lag switch in dust, it's just not. See the way lag switches work, ya can find this out yourself on the internet, but what a lag switch does is cut out your upload so for a second you stop sending data to the servers. This works extremely well in P2P games like halo because it causes lag for everyone. Games that aren't however you would simply see them ghosting around. That said ITS IMPOSSIBLE to do in dust. Why is that you ask? Simple CCP are smart, much like the creators of MAG or any Sony exclusive really safe guards have been put in that auto kick you from the game the second your upload speed drastically decreases while your download speed remains the same. Don't believe me? Go to a hardware store, pick up some cheap supplies and inexpensive HDMI cable, should cost you 15-20 bucks tops. Then look online for the MILLIONS of lag switch tutorials, make yourself a lag switch and then test it. You will see that it does not work. CCP and Sony are allot smarter than that.

I know many of you new blueberries are use to Halo 1-4 where you are use to lag switchers all day everyday. Well guess what this isn't Bungie, or Microsoft. These guys are experienced and intelligent game designers that care about gamer's and the gaming community first. They care about the quality of the game and aren't just trying to leech money off players that don't know any better like Microsoft and Bungie. So do some research next time you go making false claims. I know you are probably new and all so try not to make a habit of it in the future, mmk?
