Please do not change the snipers. 2 shots kill as it is for now.. IMO they are good enough! :)

I have noticed that if you play without using a headset, forgoing voice communication altogether, you will get a better connection.
Voice obviously takes up some bandwidth and I notice my connection bars move more towards the green with my headset not plugged in.

It shouldn't really be an issue from experience with other games, but sadly it seems it is with Crysis 2.

So hope this helps some people.

If you're in a party and the leader has a good connection this won't matter. Other than that, I don't use my mic outside of playing with friends anyway.

I dont think is overpowerd i really think is the LAG ive played matches that my scar does some serious damage and some matches i emptyclips on people and nothing also with the feline or whatever is called i saw a Guy just terring up the placewith it and with Supressor , sure enough i check out the Score board and he is the only one with a full perfect connection( HOST !!!!!)

Fix this problem with the connection and this game will be awesome but fix it fast before people get sick of the **** and your online numbers go down

The lag is making the full autos even more overpowered because shots dont always register thus

Spraying a cone spread at someone > Being precise and using precision weapons ( I.E. Sniper rifles, burst fire rifles etc...)

I find it funny there is only one LMG, and it's extremely OP'd.

You only need one to remove one brick to make a jenga tower fall.

I am continuously getting my rear end handed to me on this game. Seems like if you have less than 3 bar of connection on the xbox that you are at a huge disadvantage! Seems like you have to put an entire clip in someone to get a decent kill on them.

game is fun, but right now I am terribly frustrated, wish my hits were connecting a bit harder!!

This happens to me depending on host. However if you are host you will be the person with the advantage.

Besides the M2014 Gauss Rifle.. That needs to be a 1 shot kill no matter what. It's called an Anti-Material Rifle for a reason..

Better get used to the lag guys, the problem is with the netcode, the problem is buried deep into the coding off the game, and cannot be changed in a patch.

Gears of War 2 is all I got to say, Did they fix it? no.

Why? they couldn't.

They probably just didn't care. Is that why they're rolling out Dedicated servers for Gear of war 3 then?


Point is guys the lag issues are irreversable, the game has been built on the coiding, and removing it is like removing a piece of paper from underneath a jenga tower.

Well it's easy to remove a piece of paper from underneath a jenga tower but the trick is, how to put the paper back.......... MAXIMUM MAGIC

Ok first of all EVERYBODY in the game *not including Host* has lag so for some of you people saying "oh i have not noticed this", or "oh i dont not lag" you DO lag unless your host. Wonder why it takes soo many bullets to kill someone with the feminine Felin its because of lag and it CAN be fixed. It just depends on how much the develepers support, and listen to thier fans.

*PS*-This game is great and singleplayer campaign has now set a new standard for First Person Shooters.
2 Thumbs UP.

It can be fixed, and hopefully it will be.

When call of duty 2 came out at the xbox launch the multiplayer worked decent, but most people had pings of 300ms or more(even with a guy living next door to you on the same service provider), and you coudn't create your own games.

The patched it, letting you create your own games and fixed the ping and packet loss issue. Too bad no one plays it anymore.

These games need to quit caring about the killcam and all the other crap. It just adds network overhead and makes it run like ****. Look at COD black ops and MW2. MW2 didnt have a theater mode and black ops does, MW2 works 100x better than blackops, partially because of the stupid way treyarch records the games. Instead of having the client record his own game(like halo 3 and reach) the host records the whole thing and uploads it to a server for others to download, further using up more of the hosts precious bandwidth.

Im not saying disabling the kill-cam will fix the issue, but these pointless features need to quit being put in every game. If you are going to have a killcam, make it like BC2, where it just shows the guy after he kills you, doing it this way would require no more bandwidth than normal playing.

Killcams are only useful in finding out where the sniper is on the map who sniped you, I mean come on really you know hat happened 3 feet infront of you..

If they put a better region filter in and lower the maximum ping when finding games then it could be ok, you probably just wont be able to play against your foreign friends.

There is no way we are ever getting dedicated servers like some people keep making repeat threads about.

But, like Nightmare said, we could get a patch to fix the ping level and definitely a better region filter if we already have one in place.

If it is indeed the same case as Gears 2, then region filter and lowering ping thresholds obviously won't work as that was done in a patch and then discussed ad nauseam between fans and the devs on the Epic boards long ago. I don't see dedicated servers happening at all unless Crytek get desperate to keep people playing because no one is sticking around online.

But how do we really know what they can do? I'm not a game programmer and I'd imagine most everyone here isn't either. Everyone just needs to give it a bit of time and see what comes of it. Most all games that have a robust online suit have major hiccups upon release and some of them improve dramatically over time. Hopefully this is one of those games.
