Steady decline in COH2 players
Constant games lagging and players dropping is killing the game more than the lack of other features/stuff or balance. While in-game, I started asking players if they have been having lag or players dropping or being dropping. The amount of yes ---to lagging and dropping was pretty overwhelming. Normally this is an easy thing to ask in a public chat lobby lol, but since the game doesn't have one...how convenient, eh?
The last time I tried to play an evening of COH2. A couple of games played pretty flawless. But then it started, you know the old --- get into a game and 5 or 10 or 15 minutes into the game it starts the stuttering and a drop and another drop. 8 games in a row someone would drop in a game or I would get kicked. I spent a few hours trying to get a game in. What an utter waste of an evening trying to play this game. Please note this seems to happen almost every evening for weeks now. In beta there was the odd drop here or there...but now it is a constant game destroyer.
Just thinking of it right now....I don't think I want to torture myself with another evening of "try playing COH2 Multiplayer" with no one dropping or getting dropped.
And I have been gaming online since 1995 (since Kali and Warcraft 2). Yes,I know about port forwarding.
I am sorry guys....I really really tried to play COH2 (I played COH for almost 5-6 yrs online). I just can't take another evening ot trying to get a good game without droppers or dropping in.
