The worst ranked system I've ever seen, even worse than Apex Legends. Rank doesn't matter, you can be a rookie/bronze and still get against masters/top250 (6-7 levels above you), even though the rank system doesn't allow you to have a friend in your party with a rank too far from yours. Worse is the server you'll get, if you're in USA you can get in EU servers, if you're in EU you can get in USA servers, so you can enjoy the game with a beautiful 150-200ms, it's just a lottery. With this conclusion we can say that there is no ranked system, you just play randomly with restrictions in your party. Now, the bugs, sometimes the game just doesn't want you to play, before jumping from helicopter, the game just starting to show you some random pictures with the sound of your team fighting, you're somewhere in another dimension. Sometimes the game goes black at the end of the game when you choose to Quit to get back into the lobby, you have to press Alt-F4 and start the game again. Do you hear footsteps? Okay, now try to figure out where, because directional sound is nowhere to be found. Sometimes if your ping is over 150ms you just teleport through walls or windows without breaking them. Not to mention the visual bugs of the weapons were some weapons have the attachments position misplaced for months. Now, the net code, this is very interesting. The game system will decide whether your bullets will hit the target or not. I have a video where my ping is 15ms (normal battlefield, not RedSec), the person is in front of me (less than 15m) where I shoot him straight in the chest with the aim down sight, and the system decided that I should hit him after the 10th bullet. I killed him after wasting 23 bullets, the weapon was M433, which should kill him with the first 4 bullets at that distance. This is worse in Redsec, where sometimes I waste 30 bullets and barely take down his armor. It's like the system looks at your stats versus the enemy's stats and, if you're much better than them, decides to give them a "chance" :). It's not a coincidence, sometimes it works and your weapon behaves as it should, other times in the exact same situation (same ping, same distance, same weapon), the game decides that you shouldn't hit anything.
