H3LL_F1R3 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Does anybody else feel like the 'dedicated' servers are slowly getting worse? The first week was brilliant... No bullet lag, no getting stuck on walls, no sudden jolting, no people acting as bullet sponges. But recently me and all my friends seem to be getting these things and they seem to be getting worse. Especially in the new Alpha playlist. So does anyone else think the servers are getting worse, or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster3 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Last night in TDM we had 5 people around their last man all with chainsaws revving trying to kill him but he just kept walking really slowly as if he was lagging and he kept downing us, now idea how he did it but he eventually died then quit out.

GOWnage Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Im not the only person to notice! About 2 weeks after release I went on a 2 week holiday, when I got back... LAG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Buds Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 i played a few matches online last night, the first in a couple weeks. everything seemed to be better than usual. i was able to wallbounce flawlessly everytime and my gnasher seemed stonger than ever.

Robbo1991 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yep playing just now and the lag was ridiculous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3LL_F1R3 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Seems like a slightly mixed bag then. I'm not to savvy on servers, but I'm assuming they need to be maintained. So do you think the servers are getting worse and need fixing, or some other reason for escalating lagginess? More people playing perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenixdwn Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 people have been eating shots more every day. Gotta keep up that daily iron intake i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantomzero17 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Seems like more servers are either offline or are parsed speficially for other playlists. Leaving hoppers for other playlists over taxed and more games are having to be set up on P2P rather then Dedis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wehttam Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I have to say I have not experienced even the slightest hint of lag at all in this game's online and because of this I honestly can't imagine anyone lagging. If its happening to you, I guess your either unlucky or got a bad connection yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchiZoPHreNiikz Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I totally agree with OP! The first week i was in love, no lag. The third week I was having a little lag, nbd. today i walked through walls. and hopped over walls while in DBNO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WithTheDawn Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Connection has been getting gradually worse for me as well, its almost back to Gears 2 levels of frustration at times. I've also noticed the region filtering isn't working as well, lots of people from China and Japan in Aussie games now...very lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infernoterrorize Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Lately, I havnt been able to go lag-free in a game for the past 2 weeks. Last night in Horde I experienced lag so bad that I ended up 20ft in the air doing barrel rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abecadlo Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 So it isn't my connection. Till November multi was flawless ! Now? Can't play a match... Lags and teleporting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast and Horde are never on dedicated servers. they never have been. they're not supposed to be. make sure you people know what you're complaining about.

McDurbin Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Also, are you guys playing in ranked? There will always be dedicated servers in ranked. If you play quick match you might connect to a dedicated server, but thats only if there is a free server up. Most times its host. I've had lag, but nothing like it was on Gears 2. So I'm good.

Huxy87 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I play only quick match, but ive been wanting to pull my hair out recently. First couple of weeks flawless i was bragging best gears game ever (MP). now im like oh dear god not again, been here before haha. I just thought it would have been my g/f dl stuff or my modem, but now every one else is saying it i'm starting to believe it may be a bit deeper then that. Come on Epic pull your finger out guys, MW3 comes out on Tuesday and I know I wont be attempting to play MP with these issues when I got that on the side! Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3LL_F1R3 Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Well it does seem it's a common problem. Not to sound harsh but I'm glad it's not just me. I really hope they fix it soon, because as I and lots of you have said; the game was amazing in the first two or three weeks. I was so happy they fixed all the problems from gears 2. But it seems to be heading back there! And that's not even mentioning the sawn-off lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever think I didn't know that? Who really would? I've also experienced horrible lag online In KOTH matches. Glitching through cover and terrible bullet lag. Just how many times must I shoot someone in the face from two feet away with the gnasher to pop their head only to be downed by them with only a couple retro shots.

McDurbin Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Yes I play ranked and it's been getting gradually worse over the last few weeks. Perhaps they don't have enough servers in Europe as they do in America so I guess they are bogged down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
