Played a match a few minutes ago on the US servers (I'm located in germany) and some weird problems emerged.
I suppose this steamed from high latency however I'm not entirely sure because I cant check the latency.
At first the match was ok, dished out hits, got hits, so far so good.
Nearing the end of the battle however it was very prevelant that my hits didnt register at all times while they were shown by the game.
First incident involved my basic heavy machine gun fit against another heavy. the first hits registered just fine and I saw his shield and armor decline.
The other player seemed to have run out of ammo and had about 15-20% armor left and charged me, he was literally in my face as he took nearly 3/4 of my screen estate. When I fired I actually saw spark animations from my bullets on his armor, but his armor didnt drop an inch. Shortly after he killed me.
Next incident involved (still in my heavy) going up against a scout, while he dodged a lot of my bullets by strafing I saw a few shield hit effects on his suit, however the health bars never moved, he emerged shortly after with no damage at all.
Same thing happend again against an heavy shortly after, shield effects on his suit, no damage shown.
The real kicker was a few minutes later.
Enemy militia dropship landed on a roof, myself with a forge gun on the ground but in line of sight. Got 3 direct hits, even a message with +25 points for damage but no kill (nor did the vehicle explode, was sitting there just fine with a bit of smoke).
While charging the fourth shot I was dropped by "remote explosion" (which seemed valid), selected new suit, respawned and on respawn received the points for destructing the dropship plus a kill from a passenger (with the assorted kill sound).
Connection is ASDL 16mbit, PS3 is connected via cable through a router.
The problem never emerged while playing EU servers.
While I have a reason of doubt about the hits on the scout (he was very good after all) both incidents with the heavys happend on short to very short distances and the hit effects were clearly visible. |

i can confirm that i've noticed some latency issues if you will. i too have seen things, dropship, tank, dust bunnies, warping around. also, oddly enough, it seems much laggier this july 4th with less people than were on last weekend. ???
i'm in US playing on US BTW |
