lag lobbies and party system

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 2:27 pm

First of all let me say i like the game a lot.
But the games does have it's problems? the main one being the lag.
I have just tried to play in 8 standard multiplayer games and only finished 1, me and my son had to leave the other 7 beacuse of extreme lag.
Sometimes you can't move at all, and then you are moving backwards and forwards non stop.
Now gamers will put up with a lot of things but they wont put up with lag? considering this game was sold partly on it's multiplayer and it's team based ethos, you would expect the multiplayer to work!!!! not have you hop from game to game trying to find a lag free experiance.
Splash damage you have made what could be a great game with some tweaks here and there, but if you don't manage to sort the lag situation out. you are not going to have a community, so sort this game ruining lag out.
Splash damage what where you thinking when you decided not to have lobbies, a grave mistake i think for a team based mulitplayer? or any form of shooter nowdays.
People smoke, people need to go to the toilet, and people have familes who need there attention now and again, the phone rings etc etc.
Hence the need for lobby and party system. so i can drop my party in and out of games when i want too.
And also now you have changed the standard game so that it is 4 humans v 4bots v 4 humans v 4 bots, if there are 4 humans it's very hard to get into a game, with the sysytem you have now.
Gamers want to spend there time gaming, not searching for lag free games/ not having to keep jumping in and out of games so they can play with there friends.
I hope this games does well because it does have a lot of potential, but if it is to fulfill this potential you need to have a strong happy fan base, sort out the lag problems the lobby issue's and i think you are on the way to having one
Good luck with your future projects

My lag makes the game completely unplayable online. I don't mean a little lag here or there, I mean it's constant and awful.

This is the kind of thing that if it's not fixed, will cause me to make sure that I never buy a game from these developers again. I'm not usually a [censored]er, I'm usually a glass half full person, but I payed for a game that I cannot play and I want my 60 bucks back. I play other xbox live games like CoD all the time, and I've never had an issue with lag on these games.

Does anyone have any advice so I can try to play this game?
