Convictions will have 6 players plus maybe 100 people in a crowd or area at one time.

If convictions does have lag ( you can count on it ) then they won't fix the lag anyway.

Im willing to bet lag wont be a major issue. I dont thin Montreal would release a laggy POS on purpose. Im sure they will be wary of lag issues.

Dude....were have you been for the last 3 splintercells??...the multiplayer was laggy for all....they never try working on that..its almost a garuntee that it will be lag..so deny or say you havent played it yet if you want too...but you know the truth...cant deny it any longer..its just a laggy game...

Montreal or not, this is not splinter cell, and I expect more out of them after making CT.

"Dude", Ive owned and played every SC game since the original. Lag was not a major issue in any of them except DA. Just because a game has some occasional lag does not mean that it is unplayable. There is lag in every multiplayer game worth playing. Go back and read my post. What I said was that I dont think lag will be a major issue. You also need to take into account that Montreal is doing the multi instead of Annecy. Different studio, and perhaps different standards in regards to quality.

Uhmmm where were you for CT then? CT had netcode that changed the entire nature of it's SvM. certain gadgets were either rendered useless or super powerful by crappiness of the netcode. Charges could reach an extra 10 feet, hosts could avoid getting shocked, mines became silent, etc.

And of course everyone knows the history of Co-op in CT. Of course it was so badly done it was sometimes hard to tell if it was just a game error or lag that caused some of those things.

I wasn't around during the peak of the PT days but from what I understand lag was a major issue there too.

Please don't kid yourself lag was a MAJOR MAJOR issue in CT, PT aswell (although ive heard PT netcode was actually better than CT netcode), and well youve already said DA has bad netcode. It has been a major issue in every Splinter Cell game(that has MP). Ubisoft is pretty much famous for bad netcode. What makes you think that Convition will be any different? They haven't shown any effort in it so far.

Oh and my last comment over it being Spy vs. Spy was one of: If either statement 1 or statement 2 is true then game will equal suckage.

Statement 2 was true.

Like my post said, I have played EVERY(which would imply CT) game in the series. I do not consider the lag in CT or PT to be serious enough to complain about. You can argue with me all you want, its not going to change my experience. Its is entirely possible that someone else may have a different experience or opinion in regards to what constitutes major lag.

Of course it is, but in this special issue its basically you against anyone who has played SvM long enough to know what he is talking about. Of course we have accepted the lags to some extend, but that doesn't change the fact that they were there for any player that played regularly with/against international teams.
(Just for the record, you were playing online, on pc, in story mode?)

Maybe you just never came directly into contact with the host in a game, or never played against anyone foreign, admittedly it got slightly better toward the end, but if you played near the beginning (even though you insist you have) then you would have experianced lag. and comparing it to a game like Halo and Battlefield, which can handle masses of people at once with nearly no latency issues, is pretty worthless.

I think it is sad that the Ubi servers can't handle six players at once w/o disconnection/lag issues. While others can hold up to 8 ( Gears of War ) 24 ( Call of Duty 3 ) and even 32 on some games with minimal lag. While on DA it holds six people and it lags harder than any other game I have played before.

Im in the same boat as hookshot, My buddy and I have been playing SC Multiplayer since PT, (but stopped after DA) :/ We dont like versing eachother much. Never have. we're a team. and playing against the same guy every night would get horribly boring. It was so much fun in PT where we team worked as spies to where we could defeat mercs in MT. Hospital in like 40 seconds. Those days are gone forever i guess.

There are also MP games out there that keep the same roots and are still good and successful. Such as GRAW 2, it stayed true to its roots and also expanded upon it and it is still a great game. Halo 3 will have the same MP type as before and it will be successful ( proved in the beta ) even though it has been the same ever since halo 1 ( offline ).
