The actual issues that need to be addressed are here.

I know that the majority of players on Crysis 3 that use these forums want a lot of issues to be acknowledged by Crytek, but sometimes the answers they give aren't always what WE want to hear. Things like Typhoons, Alpha Jackals, bows, laser sights, Auto-armor, Maneuverability, glitchy modules such as Surveillance, and over-powered modules like Ordinance Alert.

All these things I've just mentioned are nothing in comparison to the real issues that are happening right now that is causing the dying and the eventual death of the Crysis 3 community. What I'm talking about is the vomit inducing host detection/host selection a.k.a host migration. I have friends that know they should never get host. As an example: one of my friends is in college and shares a router with all the other dorms on his floor, so his connection is bad, but yet he pulls host more than all of our 30+ Mbps connections. Don't get me wrong here the gun and module issues do need to be addressed eventually, but we have much more urgent matters at hand here. I'm sure most of these simple gun/module problems can be addressed with hot-fixes/patches and not title updates. I'm not so sure about the whole host and lag issues as I have no real knowledge about how these things truly get fixed, but in my complete and honest opinion and I know many others can agree that the connection issues need to be addressed immediately.

It saddens me to see the player base just continues to drop each day it seems. I'm sure that the fact that the huge amount of AAA titles being released through-out March might be contributing to the low player counts in playlists, but I'm confident that getting kicked out of a match 30 seconds before it ends every other game might also make people not so sure about playing anymore. It's more than just gun/modules issues here. In fact I enjoy this game so much and have enjoyed it ever since I've first played the alpha on PC and will continue to enjoy this game for years to come. The gameplay is great and it's like nothing I've ever experienced for ages on consoles. It's hard to recommend this game to anybody for me not just because of all the issues that are present at the moment, but because the gun play is just too awesome and like nothing else out right now and it's just something you need to play and see for yourself. I have my issues with Phooners and "jack"asses, but the only thing that is really bothering me is the lag and host problems.

None of us want this game do die, the gameplay is amazing! HOST SELECTION IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE AND SHOULD BE THE FIRST PRIORITY HANDS DOWN! I have 20 friends that are in the top 100 in every statistic including myself and we absolutely love and enjoy this game, but yet we ALL say that we will stop playing and move onto other things if this is not fixed ASAP.

*Sorry about not spacing it out it's like 5 A.M here and I'm running on fumes lol.*

^^ Yeah i sounded a bit rude, but this is an important factor that needs to be looked into, although i do think they include this said issue in this statement:

We're currently collecting and anolysing telemetry to better understand what effect the changes had, this will help us decide where to go from here. Please understand that matchmaking is a large system that has quite a lot of factors to consider so changes have to be slow so that we don't make things worse.

In other, semi related news we've found an issue that could explain some of the host migration failures, a fix for this will be pushed out in a title update. This won't make them succeed 100% of the time but it should help.


But i think it is a good idea to make the Crytek Devs aware of what is an issue in matchmaking occasionally!

Bottom line: I completely agree!
