Bioshock 2 Lag
02/21/10 12:25 am | #1
I'm now a 34 online and I have not played one game without a great amount of lag/players skipping all over the place. I don't understand how the lag can be so bad on a game that only supports 10 people over Live. I mean come on, Live's been out for how long now? PS3 has MAG with 256 PLAYERS with less lag than this. It's very disappointing and completely deters from the experience and on top of the lag the game constantly freezes up your system. My friend and I both INSTALLED the game to our harddrives and it STILL freezes up both our systems at the SAME time in the same game about 1 every 2 hours. Very very annoying, anyone else have thoughts?

I have no lag at all. Very rarely, and even then it's just a small amount of bullet lag. Easily fixed by leading targets. Maybe its your connection?

There is lag for sure, most of the time it's not bad but sometimes it's game breaking.

Whenever i play online its like playin Halo 2 back in the day when every other game ud get into were with people using standby. Ive played over 50 games online on Bio2 and it makes me feel like im playin a game on the original Xbox online. Lovin the new sig by the way Melissa lmao! Was that inspired by my recent remembrance of Zero Wing and the want to bring it to the arcade? Classic!

This game is like GOW 2 before any updates. It takes forever to find someone, and the lag can be ridiculous.

Well I havent played any MP yet but I've heard that the game has some lag but nothing much, and I've heard others who say it's terrible. It really comes down to everyone's connection in the game.
As for MAG online, it's not 256 people in one lobby. Lag will happen there's no such thing as a perfect online connection.

Out of the few matches ive played of Bioshock 2 online i never experienced a lot of lag.
And Mayhem...that its very true...no connection is perfect. But i have maxd out 2 different accounts on that game to the final ranking. That is a shit ton of gameplay...and those hundreds close to thousands of matches ive played...all ran like butter. Im not saying MAG never lags, lol but it sure does a hell of a job not lagging.

Could you even imagine what it would be like to have a nuke on a map with 256 people!

whatever happened with "they're aware of the issue and working around the clock to fix it"? lol
there's always been a little lag, but it's getting worse in my opinion.
almost game breaking.
my +10 appears long before the enemies die, i go through doors as opposed to them opening, etc.
the MP is really fun though, so i'll get my rank 40, but i doubt i'll play it afterwards until they fix it.
