[QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="Dante2710"] This is relevant, it really is. Specially for a game that heavily relies on its MP portion.Pug-Nasty
Sooo, what about the other games that had server issues when they just launched? Let's name a few, Halo 3, Halo Reach, Bad Company, Bad Company 2, Killzone 2....are you going to call those games unpolished too? A game's online 'polish' consists of things like netcode, lobby integration and presentation etc. What nearly all popular multiplayer games experience at launch are overloaded servers, not developer sloppiness. How come an online only game like Socom gets hammered for absolutely **** online at launch in reviews and this doesn't? Both have problems that are expected to be fixed, but CoD has a mediocre campaign, so that makes it justifiable? How about the history of CoD never actually fixing it's horrendous lag issues, thereby rendering the entire series moot on the online front? Why is that not factored in?
I think the problem people have is not that the game has these problems at launch, but rather that it is unlikely they will ever be fixed.
1. It's Call of Duty
2. SOCOM probably didn't have the luxury of review events(which should be done away with IMO).
3. Treyarch is working a patch to fix the server issues. I haven't really had major lag issues in any COD game(apart from the Bog in COD4, wth is up that map), so I don't know what you mean about "never fixing horrendous lag issues, rendering the series moot on the online front."
