I've been playing this game in 6 hour sittings every day for the last 2 weeks and I really like the game play the only disappointment is the process of finding games to play in.

I don't like certain maps, hate games with low players, and don't want to play with people on the opposite side of the country due to lag. But since the game decides to drop you into any server it wants tough shit.

I remember when I used to play Killzone 2, how the game would let you set certain parameters before it would search for games and then let you decide which one you wanted to play in. It was great, you could decide ping, maps, game type, player ranks, and a few other things. Why didn't DICE bring over that feature from Killzone 2 since it was one of the games best features and is there any chance a patch would add something like this in the game in the future?

I think there are enough people bitching about lag and other stuff on the official forums that they don't really have a choice. They're going to have to address it at some point, especially since there are more than enough players that they won't have to worry about people in Bumfuck Idaho being able to find a server to play on. If you're East Coast I would expect to play against other East Coasters (I do on PC), it's only normal and yeah, they really need to add that functionality.

Ok, wow, that's fucking terrible. I just played a game on my brothers PS3 (laundry day at my moms house ) and I was rubberbanding like a mofo. It was almost unplayable but I still destroyed 5 mcoms and got the ace pin

There's no way in hell I could enjoy playing with crappy lag like I just experienced.

How is the PC version of BC2?  Worth the $50?  I have the PS3 version right now, and the lag has just been unbearable lately.

It's not limited to PS3 either.  XBOX360 is a rubber band factory as well.  The newest addition to the lag fest is getting the reload animation but not actually reloading.   I love running into an enemy and shooting him just to find out i didn't actually reload, 2 bullets later I've just pissed him off instead of killing him.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Well at least in the PC version you get a server browser, and you can choose a server with low ping, so I suppose it's worth it in that respect. See if you can get your money back on the PS3 version.

Your doing it wrong on a PS3....I will never understand why people play FPSers on consoles.  It is mind boggling to me.  Only thing good on consoles are sports and fighting games and maybe racing games.

That's why I have it for 360.   But at least I bought an XIM so I don't have to use a dreaded controller.

I play on the PS3, it ran great before the "server update" or whatever they did. Ever since then it's been shit.

As I have always said people pay 300 for a console and they buy 5 or 6 games for it a year at 60 bucks a pop and most likely accessories like an extra controller (since they don't come with 2 anymore WTF) they end up spending about what a decent gaming rig would run them anyway.  So your either a kid or you don't budget your money very well.  Either way there is no excuse so stop.
