i have yet to have any contection issues. matter of fact, i was surprised at how smooth everything runs.

the only problem i have had is loosing communications in the lobby during a contest...once the contest is over, everything is fine...and actually in the game it is always fine.

this is the best online experience i have ever had online...what a great game.

2 - Agree with the marine

I played all weekend long and I saw no connectivity issues. Jumped into the matches just fine. There does seem to be some audio cutout at times with headset comm but very minor stuff. I love this game, its pure greatness!

I've experienced the connectivity issue. I don't know if it's because I'm using the wireless adapter or not.

Whenever I try to join a quick match, I get an error message "Connection to the host has been lost."

Connecting from a "Quick Search" is 50/50 for me.

Playing a game online has been flawless so far, it's the initial connection issue that's been the problem.

3.1 - Wireless here too...

And I had some connection issues. But since they are releasing a patch, the problem must be beyond just the wireless.

3.2 - Not just saying it...

, but I also have the wireless connector and I've experienced the troubles with joining a quick match. If I do the Custom Match then it almost always works great, unless the game is almost filled.

Otherwise, this game is straight P. I. M. P.

3.3 - Its not the wireless.

I get the same message, but only when trying to play ranked, unranked works just fine, so I still get to play, just not ranked.

I find you have to find a room with only a couple of people in it, dont go for the 7 or 6 rooms, by the time you connect, it will be full. Go to a small number room, and when you connect, you will see alot more people are actually in there.

Hope this helps someone.

4 - No issues here

I've been rockin out on multi without a hitch. However, I'll spin the news badly seeing that all the hate is usually issued at Sony. Seeing that Sony is having an update on Day 1 seems a bit odd not to have a nock at any game that comes out on 360. Seeing they need to get a patch for them all after it's been made "Gold" and out in retailers around the globe.

I have had the same problem and I don't have wireless adapter...I get the same "connection to the host has been lost" so yeah I totally avoid quick match and do the custom match instead. I have had no lag issues whatsoever although I have noticed really bad echoing in everyones headsets...anyone else get the echoing as well?

I haven't encountered any problems yet. Connected just fine with quick match and haven't had any audio problems either. It's nice to see they are doing something about any problems people have had, no matter how minor they seem to be.

8 - I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS

with the quick match, but i did realize after a while that if you press the refresh button (X) that it gives you a few different games to join and if you join one with less players you have a much better chance of actually connecting to that game. but so far i have spent probably equal time trying to join a game and playing a game.

9 - oh and people quiting!

i freaking hate people who quit after loosing one round, it is such bull$hit! i have ended up with many a games where it is 2 on 4.

and anyone else notice that the locus pretty much always losses. at least with my experience the locus always losses whether i am on that team or not. something weird about that.

9.1 - I don't know

I've run into some bad-ass locust clans! Have you guys notice the teams that do the best stay bunched together on the maps except for maybe a hidden sniper? When everyone runs off on their own they usually get wiped out pretty quick.

10 - Hmmm

I have had what sounds like the same problem, but I didn't really think it was a connection problem... If I joined a game that was close to full it would tell me that I "lost connection to host," but I just assumed that the game had filled up between refresh and join.

One weird problem I had was that last night I joined a game and I could hear the other team the whole time! With that, and the fact that me and a buddy were in the same room to communicate, we won the match pretty easily, but it was pretty strange. Never seen that in a game before.

10.1 - yeah

I wasn't sure if that was an issue or if it is an option the host gets to setup for the match. This guy's girlfriend wouldn't quiet down, I was starting to lose it somewhat. I'm pretty sure they could here our team comm as well. This would allow for unbearable amounts of trash talking back and forth as you can imagine.

12 - and anyone else notice that the locus pretty much always losses

Lol! Yes I have noticed this, I have mentioned this to numerous people a few times but it's not from the game, I think people just like the COG side more and the best players seem to go their more. But at the same time I have been killed 5-0 against the cogs, than actually joined that EXACT team to lose to the Locust 5-0 so it just all depends...
