Let me start off by takink my hats off to Splashdamage for this excellent excellent game. A game that is worth much much more than the price paid.
I love this game and I’m not about to stop playing but the new patch is very buggy.
Most noticable and frustrating is the framerate/lag issue. I own a P4 3.0 Ghz with 1 Gig ram, a GeForceFX 5600 and a DSL connection. So basically my system should be able to chew this game and spit it out in all it’s glory. Which it did until the latest patch. Despite having a ping of <50 on a server, the lag can get quite unbearable. Now I admit this could be a player with hacks, but it’s been too consistent across too many servers.
Not being able to pick up items is quite annoying and can be deadly at times.
You can get around it by USE-ing the items, but having to look at your feet as you run by is not a good thing. Sometimes objects can’t be used either, like tanks, turrents and doors.
Losing your team between maps is just a minor annoyance, but an annoyance none the less.
The new voting system is great. Not being able to vote on other teams votes is very smart and being able to disable mines and strike complains lessens the formal complaining.
Unfortunately word on the street is servers such as puregamer.com are highly considering switching back to the old patch because the problems of this patch are just too big to justify the fixes.
Let me re-iterate that I LOVE this game and you (SplashDamage) have created an excellent game that I would be more than willing to buy off the shelf. Please know that these critisisms are meant to be taken constructively.
Please keep up the great work boyz!
Clemster.
