1-2 Bar connection - Could this be the problem?

Post » Wed Dec 31, 2008 1:55 am

Heya community,
XxSacraxX here

I must say Crysis 2 has convinced me way more than Call of Duty does.
I'm sick of CoD. This game rewards skillful players ALWAYS.
And the maps are bigger too wich makes is better for snipers. But there are also very small maps like terminal or skyline wich i like too for rushing :D

Now that I've established that, lets move on topic.

Altough the game is awesomely awesome, I'm experiencing 1-2 Bar connections....ALWAYS
The hit-detection is kinda okay for the connection. Better than in Call of Duty.
Sorry for comparing those 2 games all the time. Altough they're completely different, they're both the same somehow lol..
Anways: I made an account for CRYSIS 2 ONLY. So i entered wrong information: living in the USA etc. to get into the USA Playstation Store because there, the stupid 360 port demo was released one day earlier.
But i live in Europe. Switzerland to be exact.

I got the game on 21st tough because of some friends in a gamestore ;D
Now when i go online.. Is it possible that it only connects me with American people?
I know that most of the players are American because the game hasn't been released here in EU.
That would be the reason why I only have 1-2 bars.

While writing this, I realized that if everybody has bad connection, It's the host picking system. Or maby I'm just unlucky and get into bad lobbies everytime.

Does anyone already have it from Europe?
Share your experience please.

greetings,
XxSacraxX

Yes and if you were ever to host which is unlikely, then everybody in the US would be on 1 or 2 bars usually this will not be a problem when europe gets its release if the net code is up to standard.

Its the fact that you are in the EU and most people playing are in the IS now,but once people get their copies in the EU you will be able to play with everybody from every region thats for sure and your bars will improve :). As for now work with what you have :).

Sorry but you can't possible think that the hit detection is better in a 30 FPS than a 60 FPS (Duty)? You on Drugs son!

As if FPS was the only concern.

You try playing a game of Black Ops on a 2 bar connection, see what you think of the hit detection then. Also you won't be getting anywhere near 60fps on that kind of connection in blops.

This is why game companies need to get with it and do dedicated servers (console versions) so this crap doesn't hit the fan.

Hit detection doesnt really depend from the fps as the fps only are the frames per second that you see on the screen.
A human can detect 24 per second to its unnecessary

It uses P2P, which ruins any and all online experiences. It's a shame because it's really good online too, except for the lag.

Im already done trying to play this lag fest called Crysis. In the middle of the day when I have a 12mbps connection and the lag is so bad that I bust people in the face 3 times and they still kill me by spraying wildly from the hip. Someone let me know when they pull there head out of there rear ends and get dedicated servers.

As far as your question, you never should of falsified your PSN information to get access to Crysis 2 one to two days earlier, you may have **** up your match making permanently due to that. Use your brain next time and weigh the consequences of your actions.

As far as the sensical notion of Crysis 2 matchmaking:

We don't know, as myself and others have stated, there seems to be no logic/rules to the match making system. It seems as though it just searches the entirety of one nation and pairs people. This may be sufficient for Europeans seeing as how small the entire continent is compared to North America. But as far as North America is concerned, Vancouver to Toronto/Quebec is closing in on 5 thousand miles.

California to New York, same deal. It's not acceptable and should of been fixed from day 1.
