Devs please read, mp problems

Post » Sat May 23, 2009 8:47 pm

First let me start off by saying single player is fantastic. Very few games can hold my attention for more than one play through and I think this one will. (I hate reruns) I do think mp has everything it needs to be a solid competitor for the fps market. Its just rough around the edges and heres why...

1) When joining with a party why doe the game start in 6 seconds? It would be nice to at least have a 30 second wait time to see if the lobby fills. Playing a game of capture the relay with 6 people when a lobby CANT fill is boring.

2) If I have a party of 6 it should wait till there are 4 or more to oppose us rather than spliting us up and starting instantly.

3)Whats with the laggy connections? Im either full green or 1 bar. And 1 bar is so laggy its unplayable.

4) Maps vs Game modes. Let us play all the modes on all the maps. And stop making new lobbies start with the same 2 map choices. It gets old playing the same maps over and over when you have a good variety available.

5) Making people wait soooooo long to unlock the fun game modes is counter productive. So many of my friends want to play classic and hardcoe but hate the other modes so they have given up because it takes so long to rank up. I have over 24 hours invested and I still cant take them into a hardcoe game. I can take them into classic but since most people dont invest the time I do into the game there is no one to play with. By the time most people (would) have enough time invested to play those modes the servers may be dead. The leaderboard says only 181000 people have played to this point. Out of that amount how many are like my friends and given up cause the modes they want to play arent available to them. Yea I know about having patience but lets be real, most players have the attention span of a 12 year old.

6) Assault mode needs to be tweeked. Forcing me to use a gun with a laser sight that announces HERE I AM is just dumb. Where is the stealth in that. Ive played many games of assault and very rarely doe it end in anything besides 2/2. It always comes down to who has dloaded from 1 spot then successfully ran to the next one unseen. Boring. Great concept but bad implimentation. At least give us a toggle on the laser.

7) Whats the black screen of abyss?

8) Whats the blue screen with white dots when you slide or aim (goes away after awhile)on liberty island?

9) Parties getting sent to the main menu randomly?

10) Ive fallen through the map several times (when getting shot) on lighthouse by the ruins on the lighthouse side and couldnt get out or commit suicide.

11) A couple times Ive gotten shot and never left the kill cam to respawn.




In closing let me say I think you have a great game here and I hope it is successful.

Nice way to improve your post count since you've done it a couple times here. Seems like that is the only way people will think you are a valid opinion here.

Agree 100% with everything except one point you made and that's the game automatically starting if you have a party of 6 players. I personally would rather just get into the game and start playing rather than waiting. It always fills up eventually and by the next match we're back together again.

Ah so there are boosters, dude with 44 minutes gametime in top 10 or so on leaderboards with XP... Crazy...

Although I have yet to encounter any of those issues, its nice to see someone make a post that is detailed and thought out. Many people on here think that by being nasty they can get a response.

Thanks for posting this by the way, I know what to look for when I have issues with the game.
