So what has and hasnt changed since the update?

It was said that the M60 was the only change gun wise but people keep saying others have changed. Seeing as the americans have had the update for ages can any of you shed some light on if there were actually any difference or is it just from the lag being improved along with the prediction algorithms?

There have been a total of three updates for the North American version of the game. I'm not sure about the European servers, so could you elaborate? If this is your first patch, or even second, I'm sure we could find a list for you. :D

i think its our first, but alot of ure first patch was included in our release

this is what i know of:

- M60 has been made less accurate while running - Still while Stand/Prone/Crouched is the same.

- 15 point deduction for aborting from a game.

- Ranks have been reset.

- Anti-Cheat servers have been installed.

sounds like they are taking a lil from each of our updates and doin it altogether for yall. sounds like a good thurough update to me.atleast they reset your ranks now instead of later.

From what i can gather the update has made us inline with the US.

But seeing as the US ones have been running longer with all updates i was wondering how it has panned out.

Are there still cheaters? what cheats are still possible?

It seems to me that the hit/collision detection has changed and you have to be a lot more accurate with your shots, spraying doesnt seem to work like it use to. Perhaps the movement prediction algorithms have been modified too.

Our patch is utter shite, tons of Rank Ups and the lag is even worse than before.

Disappointing.

apparentely it does this in the first few weeks of a patch

I havent really enjoyed a single match since the update so many annoying things are happening now more then before...

more people not getting kill by mines and grenades. people getting killed by mines and grenades not even near them or through buildings...

People taking shots and not getting hurt i have noticed this a lot more since the patch, this includes me getting hit and not taking damage. At least before if it was lag they went down later but now its like the hits didnt even count.

Overall it has become les satifying to play. Other online games dont seem to be affected by lag as much as socom 2 not even the socom 1.

What is it about S2?

Seeing as your experiencing it, and I havent heard from anyone else it may be to do with you connection.

Kumagoro · 12-02-2004

Connection is fine, upload is Max 160 Kbps and min 130 Kbps. Thats to a site in canada.

Download is between max 770 and min 755 Kbps.

Its never been really poor at all.

The strange thing was that when the patch first came out the lag seemed so much better and people dropped like a sack of **** straight away. Within a couple of days though it was back to being crap again. The couple of months before the update it felt laggy when compared to a couple of months before that. The thing is i dont have that problem when playing PC online games and my bro says he finds xbox live better too.

I witnessed someone else shoot the crap out of someone yesterday from behind when they were sitting still. Def blood hits around chest neck and head. Person didnt drop. I thought hes probably nearly dead then. He runs off and the person gets a clear site on him again obvious hits but didnt go down... neither person was lagging from what ANY of us could see and we were discussing it after.

Also recently I shot someone with an m14 who was standing still looking around. hit him a good few times... he got away i thought ok maybe he is nearly dead. I run round the corner and hes standing still again thinking im coming the other way. I line it up blast him with a whole mag nearly obvious hits. didnt go down then i catch up with him again get a few more hits and hes down. Neither him or i were lagging...

Something strange is def going on i dont normally say anything as its normally lag but recently strange things have been happening which dont seem lag related.

also before the update i was averaging a few more kills then deaths in a match... after the update i was lucky to get a kill for every 5 deaths. Now i have changed the way i play its back even again.
