The game determines what servers to put you in indicated by your country of choice in your EA account. I look at this as a temporary solution until they figure out the massive lag problems on the US servers which I hope is soon. I don't know if it will help everyone but it's worth a shot.

don't know how or why exactly and I don't want to jinx it , but I had the best couple hours of play time in this game in 2 months with this

thanks

I got online and saw you guys, but by the time I had finished downloading the update you two had already hopped off.

Yeah I was skepetical when I read about it but thought it was worth a try. When patch 1.03 came out recently in North America it seemed to fix the lag but when patch 1.04 was put out a day later it made the rubberband lag, teleporting & screen flashes worse than ever. This proves that it is EA's servers that are the problem not us. I know it doesn't affect everyone but the US servers need fixing and fast. You would think we would be more laggy on UK servers than US but this is clearly not the case.

So did anybody get onslaught? Anyone gonna play it tonight?

I thought about it, but I just don't want to spend the money when I know I won't play it much.

It came down to either this expansion or the dead rising one. I gonna go with Dead Rising.

Is the Multiplayer Update 2 just for Onslaught mode? Was just prompted to download the update when I signed on.

[Jistic]

Yeah I think so.

I think I'm gonna pass too, only because it's co-op against AI. If they ever put it on sale I'll check it out. I still love the game and if this was like 4 new rush maps I'd be all over it.
