Some issues in MP...

Post » Thu Feb 21, 2013 10:59 am

Hi, just coming on here to report some issues I'm having on the PS3 MP and see if anyone else is having them too. If so, perhaps I'll go ask tech support what is up. Keep in mind, I have a good connection speed and play other MP games without these issues. Here is the rundown:

1. Very glitchy--my team is porting all over, I'll start a firefight, open a whole mag into an enemy, only to have them reappear behind me...killing me, of course.

2. Sound FX will stay on, such as the souns of my gun firing. Until I go into a menu, this will continue. It's pretty awful on the ears, too!

3. Lots of host migrations. Coincidently (or not, is what I am thinking), this happens just as me, or my team starts doing well. Almost all of these host migrations end up going DCd within a minute.

4. Connected to the above issue, when the DCs happen, none of that match's stats save. Since this overwhelmingly happens when I am doing well, it kind of svcks. I don't realy care about stats for bragging rights, but they are nice to measure one's growth, as a player.

I have been stuck at level 6 for the past four games, each of which ended in host migration/DCs. Since none of the XP saves, I can't progress, despite killing over 50 people since hitting level 6. Very frustrating.

5. In pre-game lobby, I will often just sit there, while the game looks for matches, to no avail. Sometimes, it will throw me into a near-full lobby, only to have all sit there until we back out.

Issues 3-5 scream for dedicated servers. I don't understand why that isn't the obvious goal for any company making games with strong MP content--no excuse. We pay top-notch dollar, why not give us top-notch product?
