Stu. . .i moan about balance and camping etc , rarely about lag.

For the record I have virgin media fibre optic broadband - the best Internet available in the UK.

I hope this puts your mind at ease about my Internet connection

Then you are probably using your internet incorrectly.

Yes that must be it. Every other game I play online is great, but sure.

Or reading through posts on the official servers it seems it is lag , and ubisoft have said they're working on it. It's due to a lack of regional match making and ping management. You're dumped into a match against anyone, from anywhere, with any Internet.

Just some of many threads about the situation on the Internet.

Stu; try not to ruin forums with your trolling please.

Cloudburst does seem to moan alot on here but he's got a point in this instance, i play resistance 3 and uncharted 3 online and ive had no lag with them atall, got ghost recon on launch day and it was perfect up until a few days ago when for no apparent reason i would get spots of lag in most games which made it unenjoyable for me

I find that every time I join a new match, if the game is already in progress it plays laggy as hell. But if I stick it, finish the round and stay in the lobby until the start of the next round, the game plays brilliantly.

I'm on Virgin 50mb FYI.

But yeah, I do get the lag in that first game but it seems to be caused by joining a game already in progress and solvable by staying through that first round.

Meh. Traded.

Can't believe it to be honest. Such a great game. Would have loved Siege without floating infinite UAV's to make it more challenging.

It was a shambles from the start. Selling Russian copies in the uk. Lag and awful match making.

It played well at the start, they gave a good lot of maps which was great, the guns were nice, and the gameplay was intense at times. Shame it was let down by region issues, matchmaking issues, lag, and people abusing infinite UAV and camping no where near objectives just to kill farm an ruin objective games.

People werent abusing infinite UAV's, you cant blame them for using it if the developers put it in the game and people camp its just a fact wether you like it or not it happens in every shooter and it'll continue to happen 

[Cloudburst--]

Oh yes I know. It's the devs fault. Unlimited uav allowing players to sit at the back of the map marking out entire teams through walls was silly especially elimination modes

I got 31.50 credit

I hardly see any UAV's in the air and the odd one that appears is easily shot down or taken out with an EMP.

[Ew_Tux]

As an attacker on Siege i use the UAV, it's what it's there for, same as the sensors. The UAV can be shot out of the air and is very visible to anyone.

As an defender I have not been picked up by a UAV as of yet, this may be due to the scout cloak

It's a shame you traded it in, as you said, it's a very good game.
I've been in some laggy games lately and it's annoying you cannot quit the game you are in ... When i say lag, i litery mean seconds of difference which makes it unplayable. Saying that, the majority of games im in are perfectly fine  

[Cloudburst--]

You can quit multiplayer matches! Pause. Hit r1. Go to options. Down to leave multiplayer.

Yeah UAV's and cloaks were my biggest gripe. Harry potter cloaks in a third person shooter was always destined to cause camping... And infinite UAV's would always do the same (and in turn encouraged people to use the cloak more and sit back and wait). People like above used to sit right near their spawn (as close as they were allowed to deploy) the whole game with uav marking the entire enemy team out - which kind of spoilt any kind of "no respawning intensity" as you always knew where everyone was and what direction they were even facing. Annoying (whether you knew where everyone was, or everyone knew where you were! No respawning modes shouldn't have garbage like that)

Good in the opening week ...but since then with the awful region match making, lag, and more and more people just abusing the devs inclusion of unlimited uav and Harry potter cloaks it kind of turned to keck!
