Cyanide Breath Mint Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 As we're supposed to stay on topic in every other thread...here's one devoted to your gripes with the MP (ie. Host losing connection, sitting in a lobby for 15 minutes while the servers spin their wheels, Level 1 and being matched with level 30+ users in the same match, etc.). A thread where there's no real reason to flame anyone but the development team strictly assigned to designing the MP for this game alone! If any game needed a patch on the first day for it's online; it's this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played Bioshock 2 yet but hopefully the online components don't require 7 or 8 patches like Modern Warfare 2 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruslan74 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Lately I have had a plethora of disconnects which for some funny reason kicks in when the match is about to end! Lag is something I have to live with based on my geographical location but yes, the game needs some patching to balance out the matchmaking process.

TheTruest Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 they should patch it so that once a game starts, that it doesn't end just because one person leaves the match and makes things outnumbered, just let the damn thing finish out. Imagine that repeatedly happening to u towards an end of a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJoker751 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Only real problem I had was having to wait in the lobby for 20 minutes just to start the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Bananas Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Only real problem I had was having to wait in the lobby for 20 minutes just to start the match. Sounds like how MW2 started out . Same haven't played it but definitely in my top 5 games to get but have to play the first... first LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L Fool Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 -No Host migration: If the host quits mid game you get your ADAM, but none of the stats record to the leaderboard and damages trophy collection like "Man About Town". Hell if the host even LEAVES while in the lobby, even if you have 9 other guys in there, it often closes outright rather than giving it to someone else. That's what I call broken. -Crappy Matchmaking: Often it takes longer to find a game than to actually complete one. Also trying to join matches with someone in your group is pretty futile, and often met with "Unable to connect to host" or no connection whatsoever. -Lag, lag, lag: About 1/3rd of the games lag, and roughly 1/6th of them are absolutely unplayable. The lag in this game actually causes you to A: be stuck after spawning, B: die simultaneously with the person you're fighting, and C: hate life. -Horrific Tonic Balancing: The tonics range from absolutely useless, to Godly. The final two Tonics you get are "Death Trap" (booby trapped body when you die set on a timer), and "Resurrection" (res after 2 seconds on the ground to 0 health, but with FULL AMMO AND EVE LAWLLWLLLLL). Res is so overpowered because you can actually prevent EVER dying to someone if you have a single clue. Simply equip a grenade launcher and shoot it non stop as you raise up. You'll frequently kill yourself and your opponent yet give them no credit for the kill. Basically what you get for working your ass off is an OP tonic that shouldn't even be in the game. -Bad Melee Range: The melee range is so damn iffy that sometimes it's like you are Stretch Armstrong, and other times you question whether you even have arms at all. Not only that but the damage itself is erratic, sometimes requiring more hits on one person and less on the other. -BAAAAD Reticules: Whatever happened to a reticule that made sense? Why make a gigantic ass circle for half of the weapons? How about a small reticule that you have to put on someone that is actually the invisible reticule inside the monstrous circle of a reticule they have for almost all of the weapons? CANT STAND the Machine Gun because of this, and resort to using the Nail Gun outside of short range, and the Launcher at long range. -Bad Spawn Points: You can stand about 15 feet away from a spawn point or run out of a room, come back in, and see someone that has just spawned. Most of the time the spots are in a room with one exit and you're at the mercy of the idiot freezing and grenading you. -HORRIBLE Gametypes: Capture the sister is broken. The fact you need an actual timer to put her in the vent is disgusting. You can have the sister literally standing on the vent platform for ~2 minutes and never be able to put it in against a team standing at long range with grenade launcher, and Geyser traps. It's just bad, as is Turf War that's just TOO easy thanks to how spread out the crap is. The list drags on and on. I'm glad to be rid of it.

Jack Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I hate just about everything in the multi now, for some reason ever since I hit rank 20 I've been getting owned left and right with high level players along with being plagued with bad and uneven teams.

Lystra Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Is anyone else getting the 'connection with psn lost' error every 2 out of 3 games, as I am? Makes leveling a huge chore, as you lose all your stats for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L Fool Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Is anyone else getting the 'connection with psn lost' error every 2 out of 3 games, as I am? Makes leveling a huge chore, as you lose all your stats for that game. You don't lose all your stats. If you disconnect you still keep your stats, regardless of how that may be. The LEADERBOARD won't reflect the stats other than your Total ADAM, which is the only thing that matters towards leveling. Thanks to hosts loving to quit out on my my K/D on the leaderboard is 2.10, where on my personal statistics it's 2.47. But I still show the identical ADAM as my personal statistics as the leaderboard. Basically I got robbed for several hundred kills on the leaderboard thanks to that. But at least I'm still in the top 10 for like four of the leaderboard rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpShift Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Multiplayer is complete garbage. I don't know who gave them the idea that they could succeed at multiplayer. Infested with lag and glitches. Sometimes you can pour an entire clip of the machine gun and still have no kill. Just garbage. And to make things worse, they added online trophies to it.

HairySpud Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm level 10, and just got put in a match with a group of 5 or so level 30+ players. Not fun at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_l_M_B_0 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Team-mate that are only in it for themselves!!!!!!!! For example: Last night i was playing CTS and i kill all 3 of the enemy team including BigD and grab the sister. I combine Houdini/Dash combo to get myself closer to he vent all the while i see my faithful team following beside me. I think to myself "Wow what good people trying to protect me!" I get near the vent and am about to put the sister in with my 2 team mates close by. All of a sudden a guy runs up to me and blasts me repeatedly with the pistol in the back of my head as i am putting the sister in. My teammates stand there and watch me get killed. Instead of killing the guy to further the team progress the douchebags watch me die just so they can capture the sister themselves... i mean really are they that desparate?

JumpShift Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I don't understand why they thought they could do great at multiplayer. I just got on and waited for almost half an hour for a game to start. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpShift Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i mean really are they that desparate? Yes. Combine that with a broken game, and you might just die before your time out of frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soz_666 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 - Capture the sister games are way tooo short, 4 minutes to get pass a big daddy and run to the vent without getting killed on the way. - The game keep on losing connection nearly every game 2 out 5 games for me, once i just entered the game and before it started lost connection with host. - Unfair teams is a pain in the ass in capture the sister games. game just started and it already 6 v 3, After each game the team should be random not the same in the last game. - always lag in every game, sometimes it just unplayable when the lag is sooo bad.

Shadow20074 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Lately I have had a plethora of disconnects which for some funny reason kicks in when the match is about to end! Lag is something I have to live with based on my geographical location but yes, the game needs some patching to balance out the matchmaking process. I think you do still get the adam you've earned from kills/trials/research/hacks even if you disconnect i disconnected once and then levelled up after it the only ADAM you dont get is probably match standing but yeah, it is annoying especially if you want to just play for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuivoM Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I don't agree. I mean, I'm at Rank 40 and most of the players which I play are 20+ ranked. When I was in ranks below 20 I played with players below 20 either.. ok, sometimes there were 1 or 2 above.. but nothing special. I think this game is awesome so I don't even noticed that problems.. I just enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BitArtist Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i havent experienced horrible lag like you guys are saying. i do experience it some though, like, im running and all of a sudden i time warp back 5 steps, or facing the wrong way or something. and timbo, they probably let you die cuz they needed the mother goose trophy. luckily i got mine when it was uneven teams and i got my capture for the trophy. i think it ended like 9-0 or something. hahaha. while i dont think the online is horrendous, i wont be playing this once i hit 40. battlefield bad company 2 comes out anyway, so that will take up 100% of my online gaming time.

LegendLiam Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Lag is my main issue. Sometimes I'll be walking up stairs, then backtrack 5metres and instantly die. I find it VERY hard to find a lag free game, I'm not sure if that's because I am Australian or if my internet is just bad or if it's the game. Matchmaking is also stupid. If a couple of players absoloutly DOMINATE, why stick them on the same team? Why stick a bunch of level 30+s on a team against a bunch of lvl 20-s? Also lately I've been searching for games, finding none and being put into a game waiting for 5 people to join. No one ends up joining in the long run but yet when I search again, there's no games available. You're telling me that out of all the people in the world there's absoloutly no space in ANY games and there's NO people looking for a game? Okay. Multiplayer is pretty horrible in the long run. They fucked up big time and I'll be glad when I'm level 40.. I just find it an annoyance to play because of all the cheap shit that occurs.

Jimbo76 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have had a few host disconnections half way through a game which is annoying, but the plus side is you still keep the adam you have earned. also waiting in lobbies for ages for a game. thats about it.

MeganiX Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 imo if someone is finding the tonics too weak with an exeption of a few that are divine, then you're just a noob. All of the weapons are within the same strength of eachother and have their own advantage/disadvantages... Exactly the same 4 tonics and plasmids. Shore their are some favorite loadouts, but all are quite fightable. My only complain is sometimes a bit lag... i repeat sometimes... ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1sh Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) wow you guys have issues, really. I had few "connection to host lost" and occasional lag, but nothing that happens again and again. Sometimes takes time to wait to start the game, other than that there were no issues whatsoever. I got 91k adam and 16 hours played, and I find the MP fkn awesome, and machine gun is fkn awesome and geyser traps just PWN. F8l fool, if u hate this game so much, then just forget about this part of forum rather than whine on every occasion about how bad MP is. U got ur lvl 40 all u do is discourage people from playing and only focus on negatives. The MP is great fun, it is much more fun than Far Cry 2 and MW2 multiplayer modes.

AstroFlibble Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I experience lag at times and the host disconnecting causing the game to end is fustrating, but I haven't had these often enough to make my experience bad. Matchmaking and team bias can be a bit off at times, but theres nothing at all wrong with a bit of a challenge. As for spending ages waiting for a game to start, unless you quit and try again a few times, you've got no excuse to be moaning. I often find I have to attempt to find a match 2-4 times before I find one, but when I do I make sure I stay there for an hour or two (unless I get owned...! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
