I'm not saying I disagree that the lag doesn't suck, because sometimes it does (and yes it has got worse since the game launched). What I AM saying is everytime a TU drops we end up with tons of posts where everyone "claims" the lag is worse since said update without even knowing what the update is for. In the case of this TU (and 8 of the others), there was no change to the lag algorithm. Thus, if you think the lag is worse afterwards one of 3 things happened:
1) You got stuck with some crappy hosts- Not TU related
2) You have some sort of net congestition going on afterwards, be it local (same line downloading, etc) or ISP wide (such as line work, bad weather somewhere in the ping trace route or too many users logging at the same time- cable internet)- AGAIN NOT TU related
Or most likely
3) The lag is the same as it's always been and you "think" it's worse- ie. the Placebo effect has kicked in.
Good point.
some days I am beast on the screen. Yelling out "YEAH ! Get some!" other days I am cursing at the screen.
Some days the net IS worse, depending on so many factors. and things just dont go right.
A lot of times I feel its the player that changes day by day. sometimes you can play blindfolded and other days you cant even hold the controllers.
I mean I know there are some people on here that have serios issues.
But when you get ppeople jumping right on the "this update killed the game for me" and people seeing a youtube that shows a guy getting stabbed from ten feet away and a bunch of other things people see then every hater who gets killed in this game panics.
I still think theater is a great thing and they should keep it in the game. I still believe what JD once said.
Before theater people used to chalk it up to normal lag or say WTF when they were killed. Now that theater is in the game everyone is crying UFO all day long when they get killed. and they are finding whatever "hot topic excuse" is out there to blame for it, thus ruining it for all the real players who have issues.
But what can you do. That is just human nature with too much internet stories mixed in.
Typical Human Nature example, One person posts a "I want a 30 second EMP" post. Three more guys make their own instead of adding to the post.
