So, not that I'm complaining, I understand that Crytek needs time to adjust to the massive amount of people playing...

But due to the lag, I cannot decide if this is a game where I need to be leading my shots or just firing directly at the target. There's been a few times I literally trailed behind the target and managed to kill them...

Anyone with a better experience with latency could fill me in on this? Whenever they hash out the release problems (please god do it ASAP), I expect to enjoy playing (and hopefully playing well).

I've actually had no lag issues whatsoever so I can't say I know where your coming from. But you should just be aiming directly at the target. Shouldn't be any need for leading shots.

Aiming behind the target?! From my first session with it, most of my games were 2-4 bar and if they are moving at medium-long range, I find that slightly leading my shots was satisfactory for me.

Since everyone seems to prefer to take the battles to the visor, you'll mostly find yourself aiming directly at them..

I'm sure this is all general rule of thumb though for most online shooters.

Yeah, I recall having a 2 bar connection that game... Think my connection is in the **** a bit as well. I just wasn't able to tell if the bullets really had any travel time at all with my current situation.

I wouldn't immediately blame "your" connection since it was its first day haha

Could just be the traffic and everyone pouring into the server..pretty sure after the first week or what not so hopefully games will be smoother (if crytek keeps an ear out for us)
