no lag...?

[fishbulb]

why is everyone saying there is no lag online? the reason people think that is because the only game they can get into is a 2v2 and then one guy gets booted. sure it runs lag free when there are 3 people in the room. any game does. go play 8v8 tiajuana. the lag is horrendous. took like 30 sec to throw a nade if someone was shooting near u.

I don't know about that...I was playing last night from 12 - 2 am, and I didn't have any lag, disco's, etc...We were playing 5 vs 5, and it was fun. I don't know if it was just cause it was so late or what, but it's the first time I've been able to play that long with no problems.

There's definitely lag. I find the lag slows down the gameplay as oppose to SOCOM where the lag makes it very choppy.

u need to find a server with a low ping to have no lag .. and u have to play late at night or early in morning for the servers to not disc ..

[connmen]

Lowest ping I've seen in this game is over 200. And I have a crazy good connection.

Average pings have been lower since the maintenance was done yesterday but still mostly in the 300-500 range.

today .. 5-6 rooms were between 100-200 .. but give a few hours and well see 500 - 2000

It lags on the subway too, but other than that it isn't much. I'm never on long enough to notice.

I actually was playing 8v8 last night and very smoothly i might add. I believe it was the mall map. I'll trying playing on tijuana and see if i get any lag tonight. fishbulb, did you completely stop trying to play socom? I play like once every 2 weeks with dastardly and AFL. It seems the only reason to play anymore is to hang out with all the friends i have made. Socom 3 is really not that great of a game. The maps are completely too big and it took away that element that was socom, which was the close quarters gun battles and grenades. This game honestly does provide that fix, if only until socom 4 comes out or they bring out some new smaller maps for S3.

stop saying if ur on frmo 11:00 pm to 12:am that its great. its vbecause nobodys on. play around 3-10 u wont see ne lag.

I believe that I'm the only one who posted a time that they played...and I was posting the time I played, and that there was no lag. So, deal with it.

Also, to the socom guys...I LOVE socom3. I think it's way better than socom 2. If you want smaller maps, play in the small maps rooms. There tons of them. I play in them all the time. I wish that more people would play socom style on 25 to life, but, a buddy and I tried to host a room like that last night, and nobody joined. We played for like, 20 minutes, and then switched it over to respawn, and people started pouring in...weird!!!
