just played bfbc, and thats still ok, for now.
who knows what the problem is, some are saying it will settledown??? WTF is that supposed to mean. It's not like they've installed new phone lines.

Anywho, I'll get the demo first.

I imagine it's like every other game, coupled with EA being tight assed with their servers. There's just too many people trying to play it at the same time. Because it's new.

I would be really surprised if it wasn't using netcode very close to BF: BC's. Does it have full team comms instead of just squad comms this time? That won't help if so.

I have faith that early lag issues will be quickly ironed out.

Lag is down to the datacenter? Ok.

That sounds reasonable - much like how BC spazzes out when you get a lot of screenshots trying to upload.

Guess they should worry more about the actual game than reporting back to the mothership. Pfff.

Time will tell, I think it's good that it was released today for xbox only. I will let them really stress the system for us, and tomorrow should be smoooth!

there's a poll up for PSN users, asking if we think it'll be ok for us tomorrow.
One guy replied it will be as psn users will only need one server.

My reply.

yer mate i had replied earlier to that.

Thers alot of sickheads on the ea forums from the EA US side at the moment.. not all of them but most of them are just people who flame and bait each other.. this is why GVD and team hardly ever post on the US forums because they are all young kids who think they know everyhting.

Ps3 vs xbox etc etc is all u ever here and it spoils the community.. its tiresome.

A guy was saying "yer psn is free but i pay $50 for premium xbox servers"

In his sig was "its my birthday on saturday - im 15!! woooo"

I replied with..

u mean you mum buys u $50 worth of gaming time because u aint got a job u sponger.
mummys boy.. he never replied :)

TBH on the ea uk forums - u see the same people (usernames) on some of my bf43 videos saying how much the xbox rules like a bunch of fucking cissy girls.

Its a shame the average IQ of an American teenager is 97 - where as english are 108 - what does that tell you :) they are just all for american shit and are blinded by anything else.

sorry about thr rant here but combination of things made me write this.

Also what gets me the most is that people still think technically the xbox is better - its not.. read the specs... its like trying to tell me that nike is not as good as asda shoes - its just not going to work for me :) lol.

It's annoying, they think that volume is everything.
It's not, quality vs quantity everytime. So what, we've got a smaller userbase, it's only because MS jumped the gun, released early to beat Sony, and loo what that got them... RROD.
Yes they have a better online system, but they pay for it.
They pay a fortune for a tiny HDD that will only ever work in an xbox, unless you destroy the casing.
They pay a fortune for a lot of MS hardware that 3rd party vendors are not allowed to produce, just so MS can make more money.
That to me is not in the best interests of the users.
We are blind to, we love to hate the ps3 at times, then forgive too easily.
Both systems have pro's and con's. But technically, PS3 wins hands down.
