» Sun Mar 08, 2009 4:24 pm I know this is a repeat thread but I haven't complained properly on this forum for a while now lol and I am sick and tired of waiting for the patch or info on it. So this thread is going to me short (for me) and is just a means to express my anger. I don't care if this is locked to be honest as it is a repeat. I just want to my opinion to get out there.
ALL I WANT FROM CRYTEK IS TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THIS GAME PROPERLY, I'm not really asking for much. I'm not asking for new features or great additions, I just want them to FIX this game. The MP is in shambles and once the novelty of the game, like everything, wears off, the issues are not easily overlooked. When I first got the game I LOVED it soo much that I could ignore the CONSTANT f*****g issues every 5 mins.
I'm f****d off firstly with the Matchmatching. This is the no. 1 issue for me, far worse than the lag with has the no. 2 spot. I'm fed up with my Xbox freezing forcing a dashboard or to restart it, splitting up my parties, failed Host Migrations every other game, lack of map rotation (this is awful and could easily fixed in a small patch), s*** host making me a second behind everyone else, 1 second = you die over and over. "Could not connect to Host" and "Retrieving Session Details" messages also. Also the fact that it takes forever sometimes in the morning (UK) to find a game in any game mode. I know this has been said before but I have to FACE THIS everytime I load up the game I'm LIVING THIS, even now I want to play it but don't know if I can stomach it.
Armor is useless. There was a thread where I argued against it's use, but after having to be forced to use it to get modules for it, I stand corrected. It offers no protection, do you know why? Everyone uses full-autos!! Because of this you are getting hit by so many bullets at once then what's the different between dying in 0.4 rather than 0.5 secs? No point in armor other than to protect from grenade and that doesn't halp most time because let's say you're playing CS and you're on the CS stealthed when you see a grenade you quickly transition to armor and you die anyway!!! On the usually messed up killcam it shows I went into armor a second before it exploded! Why this happening!! Cloak is also useless now after the Demo, it's too obvious to the point or making it useless, I would swap to an armor class but we know that don't work either.
Regarding the lag, what's so hard about giving the person with best connection Host. I heard someone say on the forum that it gets switched to other players so everyone can reap the benefit but that is stupid IMO. Isn't it better that everyone has a good connection with a host having a tiny advantage rather than giving everyone a s*** connection and the host a massive advantage just so we can all be fair? No. I hate the fact the host can beast as if he had a constant Maximum Nanosuit.
ANNOYING FACTORS I CAN LIVE WITH: I hate the reboot feature on this game and already have a thread on it. I hate it that everyone uses the same 3 weapons. The melee is stupid, I NEVER win. Running around in circles punching is stupid and what's even more stupid is that you can be melee's someone and they can turn around and hipfire you In under 0.5 second. You try hipfiring someone as you are being punched in the face by a big guy with a nanosuit, NOT HAPPENING. The sniper rifles are usless as are the majority of weapons. The aim assist requires no skill.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ISSUES! I haven't even touched on half of them. Why doesn't anyone speak at Crytek??
Please don't respond with BE PATIENT or some other nonsense. It's been long enough, and I don't care about the game being complex blah blah, and it takes time, and that we have to be nice to them or they feel discouraged LOL. If I do a s*** job at work my boss won't be thinking "I better not pull him up on it because if I do it will make him feel bad then he won't want to perform", the boss PAYS him to do a good job, it's not charity work. The employee (Crytek) has a DUTY to the employer (us, the customers) to create a good product. I don't care about their feelings at this point, they obviously don't give a c**p about ours since they won't speak at all! SO STOP DEFENDING THEM!
Lastly I still love this game regardless of these issues, just showing that I don't think they product is rubbish. It's amazing, my facourite MP ever. it's just riddled with woodworm, please give it the woodworm treatment! PLEASE PLEASE fix the Matchmaking and Lag.
