Subject: Question/Speculation about Fireffights campaign engine.

Hi all,

as most of you know, Urk stated that there will not be any matchmaking for Firefight. that is a minor disappointment, but whatever. I'm not too sad about it. but, I'm sure that any one who plays campaign online knows what delay time is.

Delay time is significant to campaign, it is where for example, i were to jump in a level of campaign, and when i jumped, i jumped a half second later. even though that is a relevantly small time frame, it still gets very annoying. this does the same thing with shooting, looking, crouching, scoping, throwing grenades, meeleing, what ever. if you do not know what delay time is ignore this topic.

now, I'm thinking that if Firefight is based off of the campaign engine, then it will defiantly have delay time . if this is the case, i will not play firefight online. instead i will play it local. and by myself.

your thoughts on this subject.

NOTE: i do not have a crappy connection, i have a 12 meg internet service, and hardly lag. this delay time happens when ever i play campaign online, no matter who i play with. and talking to other people about this subject, they have stated that the too encounter delay time.

No, trust me i do. its just i hardly ever play a game without delay time. im not too upset about it.

but this thread is about whether you think it will happen in Firefight mode, not about me or anything else though. :)

It's rare that this happens for me, and it's all to do with the latency between your connection. There's nothing you can do about it besides play with a different person. On the other side though, have you ever had a problem with hit detection in campaign?

RED BRICK STUDIOS!

There is only one person out of my friends I have this problem with. And he is getting CoD4MW2 and not ODST, so this won't be a problem for me.

This happens to me quite often. I don't know what the issue is, but it can't be my connection based on the fact that I don't lag often in MM. It must be something with the engine like the OP said.
