C2MP, is it just hanging on the balance?

Great game, no doubt, I don't deny it. But the MP is just getting worse and worse day by day.

Scenario #1:
No Asia server, that's one, meaning 200-400 ping on all the servers I play meaning I can get shot at 0.3sec faster than I can shoot at others. Meaning 25~35% higher chance of dying compared to people with low pings. Connectivity issue.

Scenario #2:
Playing the MP just fine, got disconnected when I try to log back in, I get the "Serial code already in use" error. Had to wait for hours to login properly again.
Wanna play but can't.

Scenario #3:
Style of playing, so some servers restrict tubing and bunny hopping. I don't know why is that? It is part of the game and definitely part of the suit's function to be able to 'hop'. Was just in a server just now, sniping with DSG-1 and got called a camping noob. So I sniped someone, picked up his SCARAB and got 7 kills, 7 dog tags and died. I changed my class to start with SCARAB and activated Max Suit upon respawn, got another few more kills and got kicked from the server. Banned. Oh why. So tubing and hopping is banned and sniping is camping noob and good kill streak gets kicked?


I was hoping to reach Rank 40 this week but unfortunately, the numerous and endless kicks I'm getting just disallow me to do so. In before someone calling me a cheater, I don't, apparently better/good players are considered cheaters now. They don't even know perks stay on after you die.

Well, svcks to be you I guess, my MP has worked almost perfectly so far and just try to pick other servers if you don't like the limitations they enforce.

the australian servers are basically dead aswell. theres a lot of them, but usually only one will have players in it.
and that server will be full.

i've found a couple of american servers i can sometimes get ping between 120 - 200 on.
and it's playable. but on the higher end of the ping spectrum i can unload an entire clip from my scar, switch to my kvolt (loadout pro). shoot them a couple more times

yet they turn around, 3 or 4 shots with the feline and i drop dead.
believe me, words can't describe the frustration.

then theres the votekick system.
when there is a legitimate aimbotting, permanently cloaked piece of **** in the server

i try to initiate a votekick... noone else knows how to vote.
you tell them.. "press ` to bring up console and type vote"

next thing you see about 10 people type it in the chat window instead, the vote fails and we're stuck with an obvious hacker.

or when you use your nanosuit modules, like cloak tracker or tracker.
and you kill someone who is cloaked, and they accuse you of cheating.

the votekick system is flawed and fkn stupid. i run a MW2 dedi server. and i removed votekick for this very reason.
because there is always an admin or 3 online and spectating, who is more than willing to keep the server as clean as possible.
