Jeff you wrote a very good review of the game except for one major problem.  How did you fail to mention the horrible bullet lag online in this game.  It's obvious everytime I play off host that my bullets are lagging.  Jeff is not the only professional critic guilty of missing this.  Not one review I've seen picks up on this significant flaw.  If game critics don't bash Epic and other companies for major flaws like this in their games, then the problem is never going to get fixed.  Bullet lag in an online shooter is unacceptable.

Yeah man I hate it when developers put online lag in their games. Why don't they just remove it?

Jeff contradicted himself with the score he gave it.
