    I think you're right. I've noticed exactly the same thing. For me it's Terrorist... I usually tend to lag in 7/10 matches but with him in the game it's the worst ever. I lag mostly when playing against American/Canadian players. If I play right now, where most of you guys sleep and therefore against European opponents 80% of the lag is gone. It lags somewhat but that's ok, it's not like I can't aim or look around. I remember when I played against terrorist I didn't even have a chance to look around and notice him. Once I saw him I was already gone, it's that bad. So I think that's exactly the problem. I don't understand how the network works but I'm sure playing against European opponents and we all get matched by the Amsterdam servers. Playing against American players there are two servers in between I guess.

    I also noticed that the game lags far less if you play against lower level players since there are far more of them and you will probably get matched with people in your area. After I demolished my skill on my noob account I was thrilled to find out that the lag was mostly gone because a) they are not that far upgrade with those infiltrator armors and can't run too fast. b) They move less than higher skilled players. c) they can't throw 10000 rockets at the same time like upgraded player do. and d) they don't care about winning too much and some just leave the match, so there are only 1-2 opponents usually. So right now is like playing against bots but it's far more fun actually because of the lag-free gameplay. I don't know when I had this much fun playing for the last time, but after 20 lag-free matches yesterday I start to love Eliminate again. It's simply one of the most advanced and complex games in the AppStore. A great overall achievement by ngmoco.

    That's ginababe: www . ginababe . com (Don't click if you're below 18 or 21)

    I know what you think... I wouldn't want my girlfriend to run a site like that either... but hey :D

    It's Terrorist's girlfriend but she doesn't actually play it's him playing once his iTouch's battery dies and needs a recharge...he plays 12 hours straight like that: 6am -> his iTouch 4 hours gameplay > rercharge > get's ginababes iTouch 4 hours gameplay > recharge > takes his own iTouch ... so he basically plays all the time... Once he sees that higher ranked players are online his all FPS Doug again and logs out of his Terrorist account and ooops Ginababe is back on... only to tear down your skill level... Yeah he's crazy like that... BTW that's him if you don't know FPS Doug:

    ohh! Lucky guy! And Noo man!! That's not her! So I guess she never told any of you guys..well she did tell me she told ppl she was 19or 20 lol. But she's like 27 lol. She's a professional mma fighter.

    Had no idea. But I don't think terrorist was the one I faced in private match if she revealed her identity to me. Haven't seen her on in ages though..

    @expandin
    ich gebe Dir vollkommen Recht, Amerikanische Spieler sind im Vorteil wegen der "lag" Geschichte.

    @all
    expandin is right, in Germany we have much lag or connectiontrouble with Eliminate, yesterday i go down from 9250 to 8800 because this. And than Alucard shoot me the hell out, He is good

    Danke :)
    Unsere server sind in Amsterdam und ngmoco hat jetzt auch einige Tests gemacht bezüglich deren Leistung. Ich denke das ist halt echt das Problem, dass wir evtl. dann auf dem US server landen wenn wir mit Amis spielen oder wir sind an unterschiedlichen Servern verbunden und die US Server sind einfach die Hauptrechner und deswegen haben die dort dann einen Vorteil. Hab jetzt aber gemerkt, dass es besonders schlimm ist wenn man gegen Amis spielt. z.B. zu ruckelt es bei mir morgens viel weniger als Abends. Hab jetzt mein skill level gesenkt und spiele zwar gegen n00bs aber es macht wirklich mehr Spaß, da es kaum ruckelt. Dein skill level kannst du wirklich schnell wieder aufholen. Hab gerade am Anfang viel zu sehr auf mein skill level geachtet und irgendwann macht es dann auch kein Spaß mehr.

    Really?

    Expandin:
    I don't feel like stirring shit up again so take all this lightly.
    WTF is it that u have against Terrorist? Is just that he is better than u? Imean honestly he is just better than everyone, and the sooner u accept it the better. Like u take things that are funny I.e. Fps Doug, and turn it into an insult, that's just retarded. I mean to be honest would it not be fitting that u r actually fps doug as u are the original lag complainer? I mean when I first came on here, u were so pissed at lag that u quit playing entirely, coincdence?

    And I could not view ur vid u attached on my iPhone, but I would bet it's also insulting. I have personally played matches with Gina and terror, they are competely different people in different places. Gina is cool I don't know y anyone would have a problem with her. And I'm pretty sure that if someone tells u about there personal life in chat, like in the game chat, it's not for u to go run ur mouth about. Thanks zerotolerance whoever u are for just asking if anyone knew and then keeping ur mouth shut. Expandin shame on u. If u were to tell me: hey alucard, I'm a gay porn star. Do u think iwould post that shit on here? Prolly lol. But seriously if u told me ur private business, I would not spout that shit off, wether ur a billionaire or a s&m freak.

    Like i said, not trying to brew anymore bad blood, but, y u always gotta be hella insulting, I don't think anyone besides u and efp1 find ur shit very funny.

    Damn Alu...i thought we were friends. I'm disappointed :(

    Nah...I'm just kidding... most of the time here... I haven't even talked to Gina...it was a JOKE.
    Lastname: Babe Va,
    Firstname Gina
    Babe Va, Gina would be a funny name don't you think ??? Well it was a joke but ok...
    I don't hate on Terrorist...we are just playing that's it...nothing personal and he knows that.
    That website isn't even hers...

    The only thing I mean seriously though is that Terrorist uses her account... I was here from day one even before you where in the top 25... How I know Terrorist is online... well if I'm online and he's online then the match making takes minutes...Why?...Because I get matched with him that 100% for sure... if he logs out and then 30 sec. later Ginababe logs in...1st time I will be like OK...nice coincidence.
    2nd time I will think well there's some slight chance but it's still possible..
    But I've seen that like 40 times already...chances are greater to land a plane on a mountain than that. I revealed his little secret here...guess what he said...nothing...why?...because it's true... I'm not saying it's him all the time but it's probably his girlfriend.

    I know both of their style and I will recognize Terrorist even if he changes his nick to Ghandi. It's him...that's a fact.
    Even his Voice of Nova crew has 5 members in total...and besides the mega cheater Orga there's Gina... it's a fact.

    So actually where exactly have I been insulting?

    Now I've got a question for you...why do you hate on me? Why do you back Terrorist so much? I almost seems like Terrorist went and created a new account in December in order to criticize me here, because most of the time you post he doesn't. But that's a different story...

    BTW... I know how he climbed his way up the skill board...by wasting countless hours waiting in the lobby until most skilled players are offline and fragging n00bs for like 1 skill point for every 5 matches he wins. That's not cool...that's crazy. I don't even care about the skill level...that's one point you need to understand in order to enjoy the game. It's not about gaining skill it's about having fun playing.

    I've created a new account and play this game from the beginning with no followers etc. That's the most fun you can get from the game. After lvl 50 there's no reason to level up since your favorite gear is maxed out then. I'm like lvl 74 on my expandin account and it takes me 6000 to get to 75 then it's like 10000 from 78-79... even if you play half a year you will still be like at lvl 80 or so. So who cares? I have like 30 000 credits saved up, not knowing what to spend them on currently. Most of the fun for me was playing it from lvl 1-50... after I reach lvl 50 on my noob account guess what I will do...I will get another noob account and do that all over.

    PLUS there's less lag playing against n00bs. You can't imagine the lag we are experiencing here in Europe... if you had that lag you would have quit already. The problem is the mods and upgrades are just not compatible with the connection and servers right now... the infiltrator + speed power up + speed prototype is way too fast ... I don't even see those players it's that bad.

    Good good good

    Well expandin, glad to see u can have a normal convo.

    What u don't see is that to someone who can't see the smile on your face or the sarcasm in your voice, when u say the things u say, they get taken out of context. Everytime u say: terroist cheats, terror is fps Doug, alucard is an ape (lol or whatever u called me or implied) you may in fact be grinning ur ass off thinking it's all a joke, no one else sees that!

    I mean like I said, I assumed that the vid u posted was an insulting vid of either Gina or terror, never saw it, but due to ur insulting nature, I would assume it was. And it just so happens that Gina has been gone for awhile so she can't come on and say hey this is tru or his is false so being her friend, and KNOWING her, I have to say things in her stead that's all.

    And to tell u the truth, if u called me fps Doug, I'm not sure I would be insulted, as he is pretty epic, BOOM HEADSHOT!

    Btw ya sinnes I remember that game. U r a hard ****er to take down man lol.

    And I know u guys in Europe hve big lag issues. But it's only getting worse over here. And these days lag hasn't been my issue. It's glitching. Has anyone experienced where u get the feeling that ur being controlled by someone else? Like it happened to me while playing jkopp, who is a savage btw. But I took my hands off of my device and my guy continued to move. Like he would fly through walls and just appear at different places. It's pretty odd. That's the worse, u can compensate for lag, not that shit tho.

    1. You're right.
    2. I'm not an insulting person...it was extremly funny when you said: I'm a gorilla. For Europeans you were saying I'm an ape. I know what you mean by that...it's just funny because 99,9% of all europeans would understand it that way...then I asked you why do you want to be an ape...and you didn't understand that and insisted on letting me know how badly you would kick my ass if we were to meet each other. It was too funny...The funny thing is the possibility of missunderstanding in your statement. But that's ok you couldn't know that.
    3. That's cool!
    4. Same here...it's not insulting... everybody knows how much he shields his skill level... so he must share some similarities with FPS Doug.

    But it doesn't happen to you like all the time... the lags are always persistent. It sucks to know you are aiming correctly but your opponent is meters away from the stop you think he is...then he reappears right behind you...next frame you're gone. It happens all the time and even if you're playing on GodMode you won't have a chance against people having a better connection..it sucks to know that you cannot enjoy a game you pay the same price for as others who have a better experience. If energy in Europe was 5 times cheaper I would say ok that's because we have 2 servers in Europe and they have 10 in the US.

    We have had these glitches here too... I was even running like 1 meter above the floor. Then I say people flying in the air without the power up. But it doesn't disturb that much.

    Didn't ngmoco made enough money out of this game to set up some decent dedicated servers here in europe? There are some free mods that manage to get a good server..
    The lag here in germany is really annoying. I'll change my itunes review.

    Yeah it is... the further you level up the worse the lag you will get. I'm not sure if that's the server or the weed the administrators in netherlands are smoking... White Widow anybody? White Widow kills the lag completely...that's why the gameplay is ok for the administrators in the Netherlands. Imagine FPS Doug on White Widow playing counter strike.

    To be fair

    Honestly I would say I lag 1/3 games I play. And when I say lag I mean to the point of unplayable. Not just slow here and there. That's constant here. The glitching only happens 1/20 games I think and how can that not b as bad as laggin? With lag at least u can try to compensate! With glitching u just don't control anything, maybe u don't know wat im experiencing.

    And I've been doing some tests with servers based on where players are from. If u are experiencing lag add me as a friend so I can do some test: just simple having certain people on from certain areas is all.

    2 servers? Thts fkin shty! God I wish I knew more about servers and networks. That way I could try to help get rid of this issue. Would love to see this game run flawlessly. It's got so much god damn potential, and it feels
    wastes cause it becomes unplayable.
