Looks to me like the main reason it rated low was he could not find a squad to get in.

And of course the stability issues which need to be fixed.

And thus he should LIE, saying that he COULD get in a squad when he couldn't? If he couldn't get in a squad, then he couldn't get in a squad. Hell, if I couldn't get in a squad, I'd be Bitchin' too on a review saying, "I couldn't get in a squad.".

Exactly WHAT do you want? An honest review from one's experience in game or some trumped up shit to make a game look good because you like the game.

I have NEVER (almost) experienced any lag. If I did, it was almost unnocitable {however you spell it

} . OK, my PC lags but in a way, when there's a lot of people on the screen shooting each other, my PC just stops. 0-1 frames per second for a while. I don't include this to lag. If you have a 56k then you might lag.

In any game when you first get in, are you going to find people to play with right away

Heh I get very little lag on a 56k on konried ;( , only time i lag is in battles over 70ish people and even that isnt all the time. I get a little delay from 200 ping obviously , but its hardly noticeable...must be an Emerald problem ;p

When it happens to a significant percentage of the user base, it's a problem. It's simply unacceptable, similar to the situation that IBM got itself in with their GXPs...it only happened to ~5% of the users, but that's quite a bit in terms of drive failure...

Besides mass computer farms like at some of the larger companies that continuously loop demos of games in production, the only way to eliminate hard locks is to beta test. It's Sony's fault that they didn't eliminate the hard locks in the beta. It's not our fault that we buy computers that may or may not work with the software.

Other thing they did not take into concideration is the gfx are as good as they can be to not make everyone need a 9700 PRO with 5000 people on a server
