From UK Gamer: MP bits n bobs

Post » Sun May 17, 2009 6:31 am

Morning all

Just a few things on the MP from the UK that have come up this weekend

1) Map Rotation: Needs to be improved....so many love maps to choose from and only getting the options of around half of them, mostly Terminal, Skyline, Pier 17 and Sanctuary

2) Internation Connections: With it being P2P networking for the console online, hitting games hosted by Americans is just a major issue with hit detection and lag which causes kill cams not to even load up...be nice to have a region filter behind the scenes to avoid this

3) Mode unlocks: A shame that if you have mates on different levels you cant play the same online game types till they all catch up, IE im a 22 and have all modes unlocked as I had a day off Friday so more time to play it, they are mid teens so dont have options like Extraction or Assault...just a shame i have to wait for them to catch up to play them

Also not seen it here, so please dont jump me, but has their been any official list of possible tweeks or fixes to the online from Crytek?

thanks in advance

Mate if you invite your friends into your lobby then go into matchmaking you can take them into any game mode you've got unlocked.

Also agree about the matchmaking needing tweaking, but I also notice that even when my mate is hosting on the same isp as me I never get better than a 3 bar connection.
