Is anyone actually still playing BF3? I've got BF4, but never really got into that game. Is it any better nowadays?

According to Hubby it's better now that they've finally increased the polling rate but I don't know how that translates to servers that are populated with variable ping clients?

We all know the polling rate was abysmal but upping it only means that your characters location is updated more frequently. This means nothing if the netcode doesn't snyc player location (a known issue) properly which is why you can get killed behind walls.

Essentially, the problem BF3 had persists in BF4.

...assuming of course this latest update somehow fixed that issue too?

I gave up on BF3 around the time that armored kill came out. Never really went back to it or any other multiplayer gaming, except in limited instances. And the games I'd be up for playing multiplayer, it seems nobody else is playing.
