This game is trash.

I have a great internet connection. 50 mb down, 5 up. I can play any game on the market, smooth as silk.

In the two days since Crysis 2 has been released, I have played several dozen, frustration-filled matches. In that time I have not once, NOT ONCE, had a ping over two yellow bars. That is PATHETIC. The online code in this game is some of the worst I have ever seen.

Pulling the trigger has never felt more irrelevant in a gunfight. Killing in this game is a matter of chance.

Sometimes I can take a guy out in one burst to his unarmored head. Other times, I can empty a clip into his unarmored face without even phasing him.

Sometimes I can take a guy who's armored up out with a few bursts. Other times, I can hit him with a grenade and unload a clip into him with no effect.

My K/D is 1.6. It's fine. Skill is not the issue. I know how to play the game. The problem is that the game is frustrating and unsatisfying because I never feel as though I'm in control of the outcome. If I kill a guy, I feel lucky. If I die, I feel unlucky.

Fix the online code. Fix the hit-detection, and for **** say do it fast before Crysis 2 goes from a contender in the FPS space to an afterthought.

It works very well for me. I'm sorry your experience has not been optimal.

Latency is a huge problem I was just in a game where I was getting a solid 40-60ms, try not using the Official Servers they svck balls and reach around for the shaft.

Not only that but I played one official server for about 20mins then got booted loosing my exp and rank yet still had the gun/attachment in the config but not unlocked.

i agree. that feeling of not being in control of your kills/ wins is one of the worst feelings in gaming.

No lag here, other than the server join issue, multiplayer has been smooth and lagless.

How fast your line is isn't all there is to having a good ping.
- Needed ports must be open in router (and in Windows Firewall for people running the PC version)
- Make sure you are not downloading (or even worse uploading) HD porm while gaming
- Try to find a server that is in the same region as you are

I like how I die to someone who's killcam shows that he wasn't even aiming at me while spraying. Especially when on my end I emptied a clip into him while armored.

Explain.

I only got the game today, played a couple of games and have had no issues, I was only showing two bars but wasnt getting any lag or delay, but its the same with any new game that comes out, there will always be teething issues, give it a week or so and im sure it will be sorted!
