My **** lags SO much, this game is unplayable to me.

I have had varying results with lag. It can get frustrating, but I've found that even 2 bars is still playable for me.

It took me a while to adjust to the system here, but I believe a lot of the lag blame has more to do with how little "auto" aim there is. Personally I wish that the snap aim was never introduced to consoles, we'd have a whole breed of lighter-thumbed console gamers on our hands, unfortunately that's not the case.

Crysis makes you earn your kills. The snap aim isn't like the FPS nanny everyone is used to, I've watched kill cams where I've been absolutely POSITIVE I was painting someone's head with my M60, only to see the bullets whizzing a nice tight outline around their head.

Shots to the body are FAR less effective than shots to the head. (More so than in most games.)

Give them some time to fix things. Remember, this was recently brought to the console.

Fair and makes sense.

im not playing mp to be one of the top players, cuz that will never happen, im not that good. however, when i chase someone down, unload half a clip on them and then turn around and kill me with one shot (as i have armor on), then somethings wrong here. another instance as soon as i see someone, i let them have it, but i get shot at with around 2-3 shots, and im dead. this game is fun no doubts about it, but at times it is very irritating. i know ive unloaded on people just to get rewarded with them turning around to blast me in 3 shots and im dead. ill stick with it for a while beings im a patient person, but if crytek doesnt get this fixed in the next week or 2, theyll have absolutley noone playing the mp. maybe they dont give a rats ass, but they should. because next time around, no one will buy any of their future titles!!!

Same, I always have troubles...

And it's so stupid for some idiots to come around and say "IT IS PERFECTLY FINE FOR ME". Maybe they're paying them to be douches and try to combat what everyone is talking about.

Like I've said before, I have video proof that I have NO LAG what so ever. Want my Youtube channel?

All I know is that when i put in a COD game, i play great, fast, no problems whatsoever. Then put in C2, and the lag issue is horrific. The first day C2 came out, everything was amazing. Matches were perfect. If i shot my gun, **** died. If i had armor mode on, i was tougher. If they had armor mode on, they were tougher. And some attachment dont seem to work AT ALL. The shotgun attachment is garbage. But that may be due to the garbage lag. The Gauss attachment, i only get kills with that if Jesus Christ Himself opens the heavens and puts his hand on my ethernet cable. I would LOVE this game if the issues were not prominent to me, but half my mind is telling me trade it in. The other half is saying "Wait 6 months til they fix it just like Treyarch did with Black Ops"

Also, has anyone had problems with aiming and firing not working? It happens often: I pull my LT to aim, and nothing happens. Befuddled, i pull the LT again, but its too late because my trigger jamming enemy has just laid the smack down.

The exact same thing happens with firing, and the RT as well. And yes ive tried changing controllers.

Again, im not saying Crysis svcks. Im saying that i would LOVE to play this game without its issues.
