Ok, Im getting quite annoyed of this game, me and all my buddies from Sweden all have Internet connections similar to mine

The biggest problem we have at the moment is lag. Whenever we end up being the host of game our opponents usually quit. this is understandable because we have to do the same thing when facing opponents from the us/japan and similar distant regions...

in fact something like 80% of our games suffer so bad lag that the shotgun is not an option to use in the game.
of those 80% a fifth is complete unplayable! Which forces us to drop.
Epic need to fix a region filter asap or the mp part of this game will be remembered as a joke!

I donīt know how you guys feel in the U.S or is this just a "rest of the world" problem?

Btw Singleplayer kicks a**

Im located in Hawaii and we have the same problem. Its fine connecting to the west coast, but any farther away and we have terrible lag. That's why its ridiculous not being able to choose the best connection.

hate to admit that it feels like EPIC dosenīt give a damn, because they sold most of their copies in the US so the rest of the world has a very low priority...
I was sure they were going to fix this for Gears 2 because the same problems existed in Gears 1.

Was quite stunned when i noticed they hadn't :/
