bagsta69 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi yall, I am not a very good player to be honest and would describe myself as very average but man I have just had a game on tdm with hit detection on the money smooth as silk. 16-3 on tdm for me is a big deal. Lots of love for my R1 at the minute and boasting the R1 logo on all my guns. Happy days. Did AW actually happen or was it all a bad dream?

lthoma1989 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I have great games as well but that doesn't mean the r1 works fine, for me atleast. Plenty of bs deaths still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Ive had the R1 since February, and it does exactly what it says it does. It puts you into low ping lobbies. It has made a significant difference to my gaming. I have run tests with and without the R1 and every single one points to the R1 improving my gaming experience. That is my experience. There are enough people about to help you maximise your set up if you are having any issues. Customer service and moderators etc are the best I have ever had dealings with and the majority of the community are great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltr7 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The R1 is a beast of a machine, it will NOT however make coffee or make you a cod god or fix everyone's f*ckd up connections or solve world hunger but it DEFINITELY does what it says it does on the box...

lthoma1989 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I've done a million things to my connection to optimize it. I know exactly what the r1 does but me and many other ppl are seeing no need to use the r1 if other routers are performing better or playing without the r1 makes no difference. In my experience it's been better to play with higher pings instead of lower pings. If I'm using the r1 for online cod and it does not seem to make a difference for me, there's no point in using it. I bought the r1 in February as well and my experience was great. A week later the matchmaking changed and it wasn't the same. I put AW down since February and I have had no use for the r1 since then. I'm going through the same bs I did with AW so for me, I have no need to use the r1. I'm not bashing the product but I don't have a use for it anymore when "lower ping" lobbies is actually a bad experience on dedicated servers. Just my experience. Whose are you talking about bagsta? I'm merely stating if a product does not perform better than my experience without the r1 than I have no uses for it. No need for the insults. Ppl are free to give their opinions on the forums, I hope without others getting mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagsta69 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 sometimes a higher ping lobby is better, hence the Ping Assist feature. It all depends on the host. I have had hosts 2 miles away with a ping of 30 ms and played horrible. I have also had games hosted over 5000 miles away that have played great. There are a lot of settings on the R1 that can help with your connection to games and general networking. A lot of people seem to use the R1 as an addition instead of the main router which could be part of the problem. I just use the R1 as my router and it works fine for me uploading images to newsdesks around the world etc and gaming and my mrs surfing etc etc. this is just my experience and I have 14 devices connected to the R1 with no issues.

bagsta69 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 bagsta69 not everyone lives inte the same country (UK, GER, NL, US) where the hosts is located! For example in my case i live in Sweden and there's no hosts in Scandinavia! I appreciate that mxHOLGE, I connect to hosts in the UK, France Germany and the Netherlands and the only one I have the occasional problem on is the Netherlands server. I have a feeling that the population of the servers will be somewhat lower over the next few days with the release of Star Wars Battlefront so lets hope that things get back to good connections for everyone.

Gunzby Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I've had several games where the connection was great and got anywhere from a 2-5 kd. I say several because those account for less than 5% of the games I've tried playing. My kd is less than 1 which is lower than any previous COD I've played. I'm not skipping around our dropping packets, but I am seeing other players jumping around. I'm having entire games where there is no way I lost a single gun fight. I'm not sure if that's more irritating than not having a single death by someone that was actually moving. I'm not too worried about it because in a few weeks r6 comes out and I probably won't play this again, or at least only play if the connection is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
