Now I get frustrated a lot in games when I shoot someone and I can see 100% they are hits and nothing shows up but I got used to it., mostly..I see a lot of those crazy missions zep/ctc zep/btc (with no bombs) btc/ffa but those don't bug me either, other than when the zeps out there are no bombs so the combo zep/btc, only those shooting the zep can ever win. Then there was the lag for certain ppl that made them sort of invincible. They would appear to be just flying around taking hits that don't matter and gunning down everyone else before they get on radar or even in front of you shooting you down?? But the lag in the last few days is UNREAL! All those problems are now ten times worse! People all over are just shooting people down from who knows when. The lag shots make me want to park on the runway for a few MINUTES to get the lag to catch up! People I am in dogfights with I am following with them on screen for a while no jumping or hopping and they gun me down? This is the worst I have ever seen it! Something has to be done or will it clear up on it's own?

I ran into this, does this game allow to be played over cell network? Cause it would seem like this would be the case with a few players I seen stuttering, warping, falling out the sky only to jump back into where they was, not being able to hit planes even though I see bullets hit them.

It does but I'm not using one I'm on my own wifi near 100% of the time...I think the solution is being mentioned though....more servers! I am going to concentrate on raising money for Echoboom.

I was in a game with hanson last night...I seen him get shot down every run we made, by a dude that was no where to be seen. Hanson hung in there longer than I would have, but when hanson left the phantom kills just moved to someone else...me lol

It wont matter what you are using, it you run into a player using his cell service they are going to lag, which means bullets you shoot at them. (You see hit their plane) will not hit them, they warp all over the place. You can have the best internet in the world, it still wont help if you are against a player with a laggy connection.

You can add all the servers in the world for this game, as soon as a player joins the game with a laggy connection they will lag.

The only thing that will help solve this is for the game to know what connection methods they are using and put cell service users against other cell service users, and hardline connections against other hardline connections (hardline means DSL, cable, fiber optic).

And even if both users are using a hardline, you still have to worry about players locations, say someone in Mexico vs someone in the UK and all you will see is lag, but it still wont be as bad as someone using a bad cell service.

Yeah, that was Junior something ... Junior87 I believe. He was off in never never land just looping around and spraying bullets wildly. He would be nowhere in sight and suddenly I'm in flames because of Junior. He had at least 8+ phantom kills on me. I finally had enough of the crap and punched out. It does seem like the lag and glitches are getting worse.

something has to be done or the fun just isn't there...I got blasted by a phntom noob, never saw him but got shot down twice before I said enough and quit out...I don't mind getting shot down as it happens all the time but at least make it a fair fight

Max hit it on the head.The server needs to detect user conectivity quality and delegate.
I mean i could quite easily go to my modem settings and reduce my upload speed to 1kb and keep 60mb dl,that way i receive the data quick and send back virtualy nothing......hang on.......no ill not but tempted.

Unfortunately bandwidth throttling is the new lagswitch, I've seen it being a issue starting and got very popular around CoD MW3, people was doing it before but not at the numbers that I see it today, and its even worse in BO2 to the point I do not play CoD anymore.

Saw this and thought of you guys

Something should also be done about you spewing profanities and about member's mothers!

Based on your most recent posts--seems like a ton of hypocrisy.
