First thing, the reason I type this is that everything connected to Electronic Art, has a really bad habit of Release and Forget. This means they have a bad history record of releasing games with lots of bugs and problems, and never care to update it.

Second, the online experience in Crysis 2 is very inconsistencies, chaotic, unstable, laggy, un-precise, unstable, random, unfair (host), etc and I know CoD does not have these problems in anyway close to what I'm seeing in Crysis 2 multiplayer. (just to point it can be enhanced, and to point out its not my very good and stable internet connection that is a problem).

But on the other hand the game is very new. Will Crysis ever be optimized for the online experience to be compatible to the competing fps games?

Besides the lack of a precise and stable online experience, the actual gameplay is awesome!

I'm sure they will address some of the issues. It just came out a week ago, so give it some time.

If I play daytime GMT I can get decent games, no lag or anything. 6pm onwards, US start coming on, games lag. So I don't bother playing at night. So once I go back work, as I'm recovering from a op right now... I wont be playing the game :/
