hi guys

been fun playing on your FT server over past few years. 

I had a bit of a break but came back recently and found your servers have moved again and like many of my Aussie friends, are finding it unplayable.

I play on other US servers with much lower pings and will hope that one day you go back to a US server so we can rejoin you guys.

Have fun everyone! Long live COD4  :thumbup:

I know there are some things you can do to improve that and maybe some folks who know what they are can chime in here.

Same problem for us on the COD2 servers. The Canadians are getting pings under 30 with some as low as 10. Those in the central US are usually between 50 and 80, and for us on the west coast and other parts of the world we're extremely lucky if it's under 110 with a lot of lag. It's tough to compete with the guys who have the really low pings.

Why the changes?

With the exchange rates do you get the Servers much cheaper than in the US  ;-)

There is another thing with this "new" mode in FT server no accuracy. I had no problem with the old one even if my ping was high. Now you shoot a guy 1m in front of you and you still miss wtf. Hopefully will get fixed.

Even though the connection was good they wouldn't let us run some admin tools etc because of security (as i understood it, please correct me anyone if im wrong...im sure you will anyway lol) so the powers that be changed hosts so that we could utilize these tool sets again.

 

However the trade off wasn't worth it at all IMO. Between changing hosts and redevelopment of the mod we have had a plethora of dramas. Naturally everyone blamed the mod redevelopment as the cause but i believe its mostly the host. I cant prove that, im no server whiz kid but simple deduction that everything was working fine before the migration points to only one thing...

 

We have our best and brightest on it so im confident it will get sorted but i sure do miss the days where i could jump on and actually enjoy my gaming experience with our clan mates and guests. Just speaking for myself, i know my attendance has gone from everyday gaming to maybe a couple of maps here and there, however i still log on to the website everyday to see what everyone's doing and to keep my tags current.

 

No one could have foreseen the trouble nor knew it was going to screw us internationals over ping wise when we migrated, it just did.

 

I played a few maps last night and found my normal run and gun style is hopeless now and as Jumper says its hard to hit anyone up close so i tried sniping and that helps get some points on the board but harder to defrost your team mates if your camping..this might have to be my new gameplay, camp and pick people off the best i can.

 

Oh well shit happens right? Anyways im going up the mountain now for a ride while the air is still cool, first one of the year hopefully the police aren't up there yet so i can put some effort in lol. i might pop in this afternoon (AEST) and play a map or two. Cheers!

This is how it should be. Players tend to do better with some weapons than others based on their style of play. It doesnt take much. Could even simply be the size of the weapon on your screen. Maybe the length of time it takes to raise the weapon after you sprint. Many more things as well that all affect how accurate a player is. If they didnt there would be no need for them all. Just make one gun that works the same for everything and switch out the gun model. Glad you found one to your liking that fits yours. :thumbup:
