New Sever 1 blows (208.100.0.133) pings bouncing from 99-124ms lagometer shows heavy thick green with frequent yellow at best and heavy yellow during spike times, the 25ms ping jump is very noticeable and sub-standard. Old Sever 1 (8.12.22.50) still better even now without being completely fixed then the new server, pings from 67-78ms light green with an occasional thick green with a yellow spike here and there. Typically I won't even play on a server with a ping over 100ms but absolutley never over 120ms, which is how I found XI in the first place, but I gave it a shot anyway and my test confirmed my rule was still valid, just doesn't have the gameplay quality or potential I am looking for. Side note, tracert for some reason is redirecting to 208.68.139.38 from Portland to Denver to Chicago and then Boston for some reason comcast is redirecting to their NXDOMAIN intercept. Since they just recently won that internet court case they can legally prioritize types of data and bandwidth anyway they want so I'm a little suspicious if the problems are related.

BoomSlang MW2 Game play is a lot better than BF. At least when I unload a clip in someone they die instead of turning around a killing me with one shot. BF weapons suck. I can get more kills with a pistol. The snipper rifles suck two shots in the head the guy kills me. I,m disliking the game the more I play it. MW2 one shot one kill. You guys that have not played it can,t judge it. Only if we could have servers. I go off PCGamer and fellow gamer reviews before I bother trying out a game, bfbc2 needs adjustments from what I have read (like weapon damage as you pointed out) but the game is not even a month old for the PC market and as the mods come out each of those problems will be addressed by the community. Mod's will change weapons completely and add content, just like ftag on CoD4. MW2 will never have that option no mods and no dedicated servers, so I'll have to go with the endless news articles that indicate that MW2 is a joke and not worth the trouble for a PC Gamer like myself, MW2 has been downsized and limited to console settings (gimped) that and along with the people that come back to CoD4 freezetag and tell me it sucks that they have no options. I trust the opinions when those opinions come from multiple sources with the same complaints. Every game has to trouble through some adjustments in the begining but MW2 has no foundation to build upon due to the limitations put on it by Infinity Ward. And I see no point in wasting my money on a game with no future just to say I have tried it. That's just not logical. Check out this article, kind of says it all in my opinion http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95923-Angry-PC-Gamer-Skips-MW2-Sends-60-Bucks-to-DICE-Instead

ROFL!!

Two issues on this subject 1) Activision is not at fault for major mistakes made on this game, Activision is just the "Publisher", all anger and frustration should be directed at "Infinity Ward" who developed the game and made the decision to not allow mods or dedicated servers. And especially at "Infinity Ward Community Manager Rob Bowling" for all his stupid ideas that all of this makes it better for PC Gamers by not having mods and options. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95594-Infinity-Ward-Responds-to-Modern-Warfare-2-Controversy 2) Don't buy it, dont spend one penny on this game or they win. Send the message loud and clear that we are PC Gamers because we want the ultimate experience and we won't be brought down to the lowly levels of Consolers. Personally I don't care if the price drops to 50 cents I will never own this game, and have probably bought my very last "Infinity Ward" game at that.

I experience this exact type of lag spikes all the time, it starts giving me lag spikes every two seconds or so for about 20-30 seconds and then it runs perfect and smooth for about 3 minutes then starts all over again. It happens to me on every map at the begining and then every 3min or so after that, I traced the problem to Punkbuster B and disabled it, I then loaded into a map and it was perfect and smooth for the first time since punkbusterB came out, then punkbuster kicked me for not running PunkbusterB. Next time it happens, alt-tab out of game and look at your processes in task manager, I'm just curious if this happens to anyone else, I am in the process of getting rid of punkbuster B completely, makes the game completely un-playable while this is happening and I have to find a quiet spot to wait and sit it out. Very frustrating

NITRO Sweet i was going to post about if there was something up with that server because my download rate for maps has been cut by at least 75% i was getting about 900 but lately ive been maxing out at 220 so the game is well underway by the time i get the map. I dont get this problem in any other >XI< server. Keep up the great work see you on the field! I knew there had to be something wrong cause you keep shooting me with that damn sniper rifle, let's hope they get this iron'd out and and you miss me from now on Nitro, I know the frozen people on my team would really appreciate it

Caper asked me to come on the site and report that ftag1 has gone to shit. SOB is correct this has been going on about a week or so, it is not one or two maps it happens with all of them and it is effecting everyone and the time of day does not seem to effect it either. I have confirmed that this is happening with everyone on the server multiple times to verify that it is not just me. If I get a chance I will run a route trace and post the jump point causing the packet loss.

PORN!! [d=O=b]

The previous data for the Ultrastats was located on the forums while the log files were located on the server. Phantom has reported that the previous forum data is corupted, so I would say that yes we have lost the UltraStats data. Currently I have no access to the new Ultrastats locations and I assume it has not yet been set up for this new system, I would suspect that the people that are working on the forums would put the Ultrastats as a lower priority than getting all members back online and the forums functional again. So we will probably be without them for a few more days or possibly longer, but I'm sure they'll be back up as soon as possible. You guys that have set up this new forum for us, everything looks great and I love all the additional features I have seen so far. I'm sure your up to your armpits in stuff that still needs to be done, and it sucks the old data was lost, but this is just another step forward as far I'm concerned. I just wanted to say thank you and Great job guys!!
