This is driving me fking crazy. I love this game, much much more than 4 and have been a staunch defender of it.

Last night I had a pretty bad night, lost most of my games, had poor scores, lost every one-on-one scrap and put it down just to me having a bad night and not enough booze.

Have been on for an hour and a half this morning and am doing even worse than last night! Now, I'm not a great player but I usually get over 15 kills in every game, my overall kill:death ratio is 1.5.

My broadband connection is fine, i've reset my router a few times but still, I'm getting humped in every single game. The last one I played I had 3 kills and 17 deaths. Yesterday lunchtime I was on my normal form, doing well, winning most of my games, getting good kll:death ratios etc.

ing thing.

And I've just smashed a controller by throwing it against my granite hearth wall.

fks sake.

Back to Forza2 or COD2 for a while methinks.

I noticed last night that I was getting shocking delay between firing and any bullet collision. I was shooting right at peopel point blank and missing.

I eventually managed to creep up on a sniper to check the delay, he was stood still I fired one shot into his torso (Moisin Nagant) but there was no hit detection for over a second!

Maybe the europeans are getting a server delay or something.

I was losing pretty badly the other day - being sniped by some mysterious sniper. Eventually I saw him... standing in the sky on top of the map. .

Last night we were playing search and destroy and without fail one of our group would be sniped before they had chance to move - from the other teams spawn point.

Bad game design IMO.

Did you file a complaint and add as an avoided player?

Just as a note it was been the same on COD4.. I was on last night and i stood and emptied a whole clip into some guy who stood there and shot me in one.. the lag was awful and it seems to be getting more and more common across all versions of the game... frown

The servers must be st, really irritating & I just go play GTA or watch TV now when COD 5 goes funny. COD4 initially had problems but they sorted it out. Why haven't they done the same to 5? Shoddy service considering we pay.

Funnily enough, I noticed that the guy on the opposing team who had 43 kills and 2 deaths had a connection strength of 1 bar.

I wonder if downloading some music to my laptop while playing would help my game...?? hehe

yes

The length of time this game went unpatched for is redunkulous.

It was shokcingly bad last night. Don't think it was just down to bad playing when all of us were getting seriously negative games. And Fidgit Jones getting sniped literaly the split second each game started was just stupid.

I think Claire ran a K/D ration of 1/19, 2/18, 3/17 at one point (and she ain't that bad hehe ). I was running around 4/11 a couple of games running and in one of those I ran out of bullets just killing one person (Hardcore mode with a machine gun FFS).
Full connections showing but serious delay on bullets and seemingly no collition detection impacts. (Server search set to local only too)

Yeah they were st last night.

I won a few rounds in a row with 34 - 5 (shocking for me I know), 30 - 11 and 29 - 6. Suddenly it took a turn for the worse and I was being destroyed, even got spawn killed about 6 times in a row. frown

I just stuck Fight Night on after that...

My KD ratio would have been much better if you'd have gone to the morsoleum when I said wink

Ah... you mean when I was describing the location of an enemy player who was sitting waiting for kills in the little sniper nook and how I couldn't quite get the angle because he keeps hiding and seems to know I'm targeting him. At which point you sheepishly piped up with:-

"You do realise I've been put on the other team and that's me your talking about"
