Shed Some Light, Please?

Okay, I'm no stranger to fps games, but I just recently got back into PS2 online gaming and I just started playing SOCOM 2, after having played the first one a while back.

Would someone -- in a nutshell -- kindly fill me on everything that has recently transpired with the patch.

As far as I know, there was a ranking system that categorized a player based on their KD ratios, stats, etc. And then the patch came out and it erased all the ranks and stats rendering the whole game back to Ground Zero. Is this correct?

It doesn't really matter to me since I jsut started and did not end up losing 10,000 kills that I worked on for months. But I just want to catch up on what's going on.

Also, does anyone experience any type of lag since the patch? Sometimes I get massive lag and can't figure out why and how to fix it.

thanks.

Okay heres a quick run down.
People found a way to glitch and move their rank up "illegally".

More and more people started doing it and it basically ruined the entire ranking system, because it wasnt accurate.

So sony, probably in response to some of the death threats, came out with a patch to get rid of the rank up glitches. To make it fair they had to reset the entire ranking system.

The patch fixed some other stuff, but that was the main reason. I have no idea if it worked, or whats goin on, but right now im ranked 89,000 and i have like 12 kills and 20 deaths, so im not compalianin. Eventually, the ranking system will even out and i will be back to a dang ensign.

If you encounter lag....try going into rooms with the Maximum of 10 or 12 people allowed, that way its not just run & gun & throw grenades, theres actually some strategy involved, and with less people...I FIND anyway, that its less laggy.

yeah, I definitely do enjoy games with less quake-like run n gun and actual strategy involved.

how do I set my filters to find such rooms by the way?


the lowest setting is more than 2...and that's pretty much every room, lol!
