the game is fun and all but............

........the lag in the MP i feel is by far the worst i have ever expirienced.

i wouldnt say the game is unplayable but certain guns are out of the question which is a damn shame considering, i tried using the shotgun and could not get a single hit marker let alone a kill, i could be right next to an unsuspecting enemy unload 5 shot directly into them, not get a single hit marker and then get killed as they turn around and case me.

sometimes you dont hear enemy fire or see the direction your are taking hits from and you seem to just fall to the ground.

the smg has a high fire rate, so i might start to get hit markers with 10 bullets left, when i have to reload to attempt to finish them off..........lights out.

even the kill cams in this game look way off, the hit detection is very very odd, sometimes i'll join a game and there is no sound at all except enemy gun fire.

i like the game, it is fun, it is different from most FPS but at the same time its kind of broken

it has to be your location on the lag part, so far my gaming experience with crysis 2 has been great been playing it since release only a couple bugs iv found, but havnt had any lag issues
but it is known that the ping meters on the right side are not working properly or just not highly accurate.


edit also, Ea is still working on servers from last update/

its not were you live, the lag in this game is really bad, ive had the same issues with this, i find the game unplayable at times because of this. Dont listen to these fanboys who say theres nothing wrong with the lag, almost everyone i play with agrees that the lag is really bad in this game. And NO, i know its not my connection because i dont get any lag with any other game.

Hey, another aussie here.

I too have problems with lag. I've had a 2 bar connection most of the time, but I have had 1 bar more often than I'd like. Maybe the ping indicators are wrong tho, becasue playing on a 2 bar is much more playable than a 2 bar in black ops for example.

I had 3 bar quite regularly on the demo, and that felt great, hopefully I will be able to get that kind of connection again
