multiplayer is F-ed!!!!

Post » Sun Dec 28, 2008 9:07 pm

I dont know about any one else but my online experience has been horrible so far. Frame rate issues, Havent had more than a 2 bar connection. Unload full clips into ppl and they dont die i should be able to at least get 2 kills with one clip? Or am i wrong for thinking this? because in the kill cams i get shot with maybe 1/4 clip of the enemy and drop and thats with armor on!!!!! I was really looking forward to this game!! but im very dissapointed!!! ive been positive once in a match with 6 hours online time thats horrible!!!!! Back to killzone 3 i guess!!! never had any problems with killzone ever average 40 to 50 kills in warzone and im not a camper, im an objective kinda guy!!! Crytec please fix this game and make it worth my money!!!

I also do fantastic at Killzone 3 but this game is nothing like Killzone 3. You're going to have to spend plenty of time getting used to invisibility and armor and balancing your power or forget it. It's fun but at first it's tough. I'm only level 13 and I've already seen some level 40 people playing so you can only imagine what they have unlocked.

Killzone 3 has dedicated servers so skill plays more of a factor. Here it's P2P so the only thing which really matters is your connection. Two bars means you're going to get %$#@ed a lot unfortunately.

I've had this happen also, but I don't think it's connection issues but rather I need to improve on my shooting. Loving the game so far.

Dont get me wrong! I do think the game is great, But it can be ALOT better in my opinion. I wasnt comparing it to killzone im just saying it takes skill to play killzone wich i have in my opinion, Im just saying the connection is horrible and my connection on killzone is great! all in all ill still play but hopefully they patch all the bad thats all.

I agree man, my online experience has been pretty horrible as well. I unload a whole clip in to people and most of the time can only manage one kill per clip. Yet when I watch killcams it only shows the people shooting 1-3 bullets at me. Online gameplay so far is extremely aggravating. I also notice that the mechanics are not very fluid either. Like reloading.. After you reload you sit there with your thumb up your arse for two or three seconds before your guy decides "Hmm, I think I will fire now"
I should have gotten Homefront instead. Bummer.

Agree, the online is horrible. There is something wrong with their matchmaking system. Every single game I’m in I barely go positive. Unloading clips into people everything, Then the stealth, sick of that if your lagging a second or two behind you never see anyone when they're close enough to be seen. I don’t mind the stealth but stealth plus lag = horrible. Now I’m not the best in the world first person shooter but I’m decent. I can tell lag and bad lag compensation.

As I said barely able to stay positive. Then when it gave me host the whole 1 time today I went 34 and 2. Coincidence? I think not. Now Obviously with P2P host is going to have an advantage. Understandable. (Well unless your playing Black ops) The thing is with the messed up match making system I think it just glorifies the advantage. Every single lobby I’ve been in since I bought the game Is……

Host Full bars, Everyone else is at 1or 2 bar connection, and 2 maybe 3 people get a 3 bar connection. Every single match I’ve played since game. Also I always get host in any other game 98% of the time. I’ve gotten it 1 time in Crysis 2. Now I’m not saying I have the best ISP service in the world but its pretty good. Hence why I always get host in any other game with P2P. Yet Crysis , 1 time? Weird.

I think they just need to fine tune the matchmaking system a bit and get people together that should be together. Seems like they get a group of people that should be playing together than they grab a host from the other side of the planet or something. LoL I dunno just my thoughts on the subject.

The MP is not solid. It could be if the issues are worked out. It's more frustrating than fun! But I don't think anything can be improved at this point!

This game has been great for me. And my connection has been anywhere from 2 to full bars. So its really dif every time. I really have only seen lag once or twice and i think i have 12 hours in to the game..

I really love it. I cant stand KZ3. GG really ruined this game so im really glad that Crytek made a great game for me to get in to :)

Im lovin it

@ last_two_left

GG did not ruin killzone 3!! They made it different than killzone 2! But im not getting onto that on this forum!!
I also get host in alot of other games!! i got a 25 mbps download and 1 mbps upload. PS3 has a static ip and its put in dmz! I havent had higher than 2 bars usually always 2 and if not 1 :( This is very frustrating as it ruins my experience.

Listen up NOOBS. You can't expect to kill a higher level when your Armour, Power and Stealth are like crap. I have one bar, hell I even have red bars, but now I'm higher lvl and I can kill very easily.

The difference is I don't bich and moan about my connection when I was lvl 1-20!!! Either level up and quit biching or just quit. The game is reserve for the best of us.

What's your internet speed, cause if it is slow thats your problem (mostly) and is anyone downloading while your playing? If not then don't play the game online just play single player or wait for at least one update then if that doesn't work, complain. But as far as im concerned my internet is 'supposedly fast' but i get 'decent' connection on other games (eg COD) and i still get good connection Crysis 2 matches so, in my opinion, it is probly your internet or just the fact you always get connected to games with hosts that live in countries far-ish away from you.

glad I'm not the only one struggling with their K/D.

I'm usually on a 2 bar but have one red bar pretty often.

I've managed to claw my way back to a positive K/D (1.2) atm , i was 1.5 on the demo and i was trying to air stomp people all the time lol. hope it gets easier

You couldn't be more wrong. Real skill is only seen on games with dedicated servers. P2P games will never be a true measure of skill. Never have been, never will be. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Just because its P2P doesn't mean there is no skill required. KZ3 and BFBC2 both have lag issues. Every game has latency because no one has a 100% equal connection speed in a lobby, so the game, regardless of server type has to accomodate that.

I think it's more likely you can get into a garbage connection on P2P, but ALL FPS games have lag online, especially in the first week. I've had several games where I was getting one hit killed - I left those games and lobbies - easy solution.

So far, my experience has been better than BLOPS and every bit as good as KZ3 in week one. KZ3 is stoopidly easy. I was regularly going 40+ kills and <10 deaths. Crysis seems to rely soley on player skill - no kill steaks or bots to pump up your kills. Managing the suits power is also really challenging. There are also very little XP given if you try to camp.

Could not disagree more. Everyone in the hardcoe FPS community knows P2P games are the least skill-based. That's why COD games are so popular and even the biggest noob can maintain a 2.00 KDR. Crysis 2 is exactly the same - host = win button. Do you think it's just a fluke that there are dozens of people complaining about pumping entire clips of ammo into a enemy's back, only to be killed instantly themselves? That's P2P and that's precisely why skill is a non-factor. Connection wins every time.

You clearly are not playing the same Crysis the rest of us are. Every map has killstreaks, also Killzone 3 does not have killstreak rewards.

What I'd like to see is some of the respawn points fixed. I'm tired of being shot in the back as soon as I'm spawned. I don't even get a chance to move sometimes.

I never have problems on killzone!! everrrrrrr!!! this game does take skill obviously which i must have when im the most valuable player and top on my team with a one red bar connection!!!! But i shouldnt die half as much as what i am !!Sometimes its just ridiculous!
