Why all the complaining?

Post » Wed Oct 21, 2009 6:17 pm

The main complaints are...

Scar. The Scar's to easy to use! The Scar kills everything in one shot! Why use anything else? The Scar is NOT overpowered. Out of the three assault rifles, it occupies its role perfectly. The Scar is a midrange assault rifle, so it kills people best at medium range. Its passable at close and long range, but is outclassed by the Scarab and Grendel respectively. (And smg's and snipers also)

Spraying. Are people really being serous? Have anybody tried spraying themselves (it FAILS), or is it just what you see others doing in killcams?. (yes killcams are broken)

Lag. In my experience, even when playing with ONE bar, the game is still solid. Not as solid as when i have three, no, but still solid (imagine playing with one bar on MW2). Also the game IS localized. Whenever i play on my own, or only with British players (vs with Americans) i get into game with much better connections. Also i thing a lot of things people complain about are sponging (Armour mode!) and people teleporting (stealth mode)

Stealth. Realy? Just no. If i have to explain why stealth isn't op, then you must be retarded.

Weak/Pointless Armour mode. Another no brainier. It works perfectly.

Finlay, i thing people should wait to at leas lvl 22 before they can real make any comment on balance (really 27 is better; i am 34) That itself is probably the biggest flaw, is that the game takes a long time a to get used to/understand.

Maybe some of you just aren't as good (at crysis) as you think.

The main complaints I see are from people from the UK, like yourself, and other European countries.

I myself don't have as many problems as some people state living here in the US, but with all of the complaining there has to be some apparent problems these people are having.

There are some connection problems with this game, I'm not going to deny that, but that's what usually comes with P2P connections. Some of these complaints though sound down right ludicrous like being one shotted by a SCAR while in Armor mode.

I also don't think some people realize that killcams in any game isn't going to be a 100% accurate depiction of what happened, but yet some people base their arguments and rants on this method.

I don't understand some of these complaints either, but posting a thread complaining about complainers never got anyone else anywhere.

Lag is an issue. Only in games with dudes from far away though. (For the record I have 24 American flag dog tags collected. I've played with guys from the US and it svcks. Not because you are not fun to play with but because of the connection. :D) It would be great if you could choose to search for games with only local players. It works great in Black Ops for instance.

I bet a lot of the problems being mentioned are, as stated above, based on killcams being inaccurate (which they are also in all other games) and people not fully grasping how the mechanics work. I know that I am having fewer and fewer WTF moments as I realise what is going on. (Things like needing to wait a moment after leaving stealth instead of clicking RB and immediately firing, that kind of thing.)

Hopefully connections will improve as bad hosts get weeded out and Crytek work out a way of making matchmaking more heavily biased towards local searchs. (It looks like it tries to find local and then if it can't bumps you across seas. What I do is quit the search if it takes more than a few seconds and try again. The tried and proven method from other P2P based games.)

Something which may be compunding these 1 shot Scar claims is the sound in MP. It sometimes seems that you don't hear any of the shots being fired at you. Most likely cause would be latency but I've never had that happen in an online game before. I've been messing around in private matches but couldn't replicate the issue.

I'm astonished that anyone could say even a one bar connection is playable.

I can't relate to that at all; it is possible that this game has considerable problems beyond lag. I think hit detection goes beyond connectivity, it seems problematic all on its own. The audio certainly needs fixing.

It just blows my mind that people who program these games just disappear off the face of the earth when players ask for support. Do they just not care about their products? Perhaps they all got fired!

Im not complaining about the complaints themselves, im just trying to explain to those people why they are wrong.

I can understand where you're coming from. I wasn't trying to troll your thread though.

@Exctor: Yeah, playing with others across the pond is fun but it seems like most of the connection issues happen because of this. I do like playing with you European folks though. I have several British friends that I play with on a regular basis in Black Ops and they split my sides when I play with them.

You European fellows are tough and can talk a mean game.

Just to clarify, one bar orange. Not red.

Posting "tu quoque" remarks has never been logically sound, either.
