Do you use quick match or server browser?

Quick match seems to have a habit of putting you on servers all over the world.

I've ended up on US ones before and you get shot at before you've even seen the other person coming.

In 1v1, time after time they are shooting you first. Its like your reactions have turned into that of a 70 year old man.

Change servers back to a Europe one, and its night and day different.

Yeah I was aware of the quick match issues so I tried a few european servers through the server list but the same thing happening, I'm going to go play with some router settings I shouldn't really need to but don't have much choice at the min. =(

I never get disconnected but keep getting awful lag/rubber banding on a couple of maps!

Tehran highway is notorious

Its across all platforms.

Are you referring to Consoles? (This is the console forum)
Or PC?

It would seem odd that somebody would be able to cheat in the way you describe on a console.

this was on 360, around 9:30-10:00 am. first time i seen "cheats" i heard there was some allready out but meh.

He must be referring to PC as I am pretty sure it would be impossible to cheat on a console.

Had 5 games just now and in all 5 I got disconnected, what an absolute joke this is becoming. I've always preferred Battlefield to the CoD series but this is really becoming a problem, I couldn't have cared less last week about MW3 but now I can't wait for it because BF3 is almost unplayable for me right now. Damn shame too because it's one of the best first person shooters I've ever played, when it works.

That is unlucky. Not had a single dropout. I am running in in DMZ mode though which might help.

I could be lucky with just picking the better servers but the worst I get is a little helicopter lag occasionally.

No wonder. A reason I will never own an xbox

I have wanted this game for ages.

From what i have seen from youtube videos and my own experiences,

The game looks amazing,

The graphics look outstanding (even on the xbox)

I would definately recomend this game to anyone who like First Person Shooters.

Because no one ever cheats on a PC...

but you can "cheat" back in a matter of minutes

i just dont understand why someone would want to on a FPS

I was more annoyed that the game doesn't let us start off from where I am. I'd already done the first five missions on hard but had to replay them because you hadn't done them yet. It should just let you carry on from where you left off, that way we could have seen some of the more exciting levels.

\Ahhhh thats rubbish!! We will complete them though!

I seriosuly can't believe i have to unlock missiles on the jets???

How am i supposed to get a single point when every enemy jet in the air already has missiles? Flares as an unlock i can understand but comeone, what kind of war jet doesn't have missiles already on it?

Is there any easy way to get points in the jet? Or is it just going to be impossible for me?

A few times i've been in a position to lock on and fire, but instead i have to somehow line up and fire my cannon at it, which is damn hard using xbox joysticks.

Anyone know any good ways of doing this?

Is there a min capacity of server before you get points?

You could hunt choppers.
