I really love this game, but just when I think I'm doing well, somebody comes and just whoops me. I just keep trying to learn from others who are better than me, and believe me there are plenty. Like when I get engaged and am taking fire I try to break free and jump and move or anything, but its like I'm stuck sort of, and I usually get killed. If the area behind me is clear I can move backwards, but to the sides, forget it. There's even a lag in my firing, while I'm getting shot. Especially when I'm getting hit with machine gun fire. Anybody else have this problem? I think I read another post that had something to do with this. God I hate this game!!!

Yeah, that's lag.

Try to join servers with a lower ping. All of those East Coast servers are probably going to have the lowest ones.

I usually play on Tech server and my ping there is always 40, that's as low as I can get it. Yesterday I turned on my FPS and was surprised to see it was over 100, and on the very next map it was down in the 35 to 40 range so it fluctuates, but the ping is usually the same. It seems like certain people are just so fast, maybe they kill me before I can even do anything. Somebody needs to start an Ohio server!
Maybe I will?

Oh yeah, I see your location is AZ. I just moved out here from Arizona! Thanks for the suggestion.

Are you sure you don't have packet loss ? (you can see it in the scoreboard next to ping) It doesn't take much packet loss to mess it all up .

I haven't looked but I will when I play today, PL% right?

Yep. I'm not sure that's the problem but I think it's worth checking it out just in case.

No I don't have any packet loss, I think it's just me

Idd you get kinda captured by certain weapons, and it's very difficult to get outta the claws of your enemy for you'd have to exactly know the right direction where the enemy fire doesn't drag you the other way.

There's a chance in switching to the laser (or mortar, or Rocktetlauncher, but be careful, you're gonna damage yourself!!!) and bouncing onesself away by aiming against a near wall or the floor. If you manage to do that, you probably won't die

I think that would work, but I'll deffinetly have to set up some key binds. Right now I'm still using the wheel. I think if I want to be competitive in the game I'm going to have to tweak some things.
