People that complain about invisible clients, you can still kill them. Just look for where their "glitched" body is on the killcam, and go shoot it. The client side registry recognises you have now hit the target, and will appropriately tell the server that you've done enough to kill them.

There are flaws in the netcode that we're seeing in the beta - the retail release is a lot more refined, so I would stop worrying over it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but does this not mean that having the lowest possible ping is of paramount importance to the client?

Whilst its been observed by people who claim they have a low ping, although how they know is anyone's guess. The game seems to penalise low ping players and favour those with greater latency.

I just tried a higher ping server (150ms) and there seems to be some truth in t his. I seemed to kill more people than usual... May be placebo of course but there you go.

Excellent news, when did you play it ?

The fact that the build we're on for the beta is a lot further behind than the development actually is.

The beta is testing how the servers handle the data, not what the data is.

If it's the exact same net code, and therefore has the same inherent problems, when the game is released I will be genuinely surprised.

I'm not saying it wont be improved, you stated that it was, not might be. I assumed you must have played on it to have stated such a matter of fact statement.
 
I love the little EOD bot, played with it last night and it was great fun. People just don't notice it, it's a really really useful tool for the outdoor Metro MCOM's. I've even flamed a couple of people with it, particularly if you park it somewhere after arming the MCOM, baddie comes in to defuse and you drive up and flame them :D heh

I swear some people really don't know what to do with it, the number of times I've driven right at people and they haven't reacted...
