DUST Search - Lagging What the crap

I am usually lagging most of the time. At least now the frame-rate lag seems to be gone, but now it's the network lag that often cripples me in game. The first night I played the new build it was amazingly smooth, but every night after I have suffered.

The way this game handles network lag is horrible, it's just like COD. Where you rubber-band back to where you were, and studder and move very choppy. Even if I stand still, my character moves side-to-side randomly. Often times it takes me a good 30 seconds just to move a few feet, and this seems to happen at intervals of every few minuets.

When I get a smooth game, I can usually do quite well, even with all militia grade stuff. People drop near instantly, I can track targets easily, and hits actually count. It's beyond embarrassing playing with this lag, as it is extremely difficult for me to do well when I battle lag more than I battle players. Worst part is, the lag rears it's ugly face pretty much at the worst time possible every time.

When I read about people having little to no problems like this and seeing that they are really good players, I understand why.

I play in a lot of Betas (Just finished playing some God of War Ascensions beta) but this one lags the most of everything. How is everyone else playing it? I remember playing in Starhawk beta that during a certain time it would lag a lot because the developers would be working in progress. Anything like that is related to Dust?

Ok. I really haven't gotten a chance to enjoy Dust 514 because of this issue. I recently put my Ps3 on a DMZ connection, should I check how the gameplay flows and then come back here to tell?

My character moves side to side and I sometimes see my enemies flying across the map. Tell me about embrrssment , I usually don't let anyone around play the beta on my ps3 because of this issue.

I do know of alot of people who have installed SSD's in their ps3's and experinced a massive improvement in all areas of the game. Hopefully i'll get a response because I never played once a smooth match.

Dust has been in close beta for like a year. This ain't even open beta yet lol Starhawk was a true beta. They put emphasizes on it being different from the "Demo beta" games that other games do. I was in the Private beta around in september and it went on for 6 months.
