You crazy Kiwis!!!
But.. there are no servers, at least not yet :\
Played on an Oz one and was good fun apart from the speed.
/me cries in joy
Funny how just about anybody who comes into contact with us will sooner or later use the words crazy and Kiwis in the same sentence. (I'm part of a US-based DoD clan, and they all keep calling us that when ever they come to NZ servers - which doesn't happen often cos we scare them!<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
The closest server I could find was an OptusNet one, with only a 12 player limit (considering the speed issue, perhaps it aint too bad...).
Now when I was play just before, I had a constant fps of 30, but the game kept pausing and still ran like a slideshow. Perhaps it is the server getting a really low frame rate? Maybe server side NS takes up an unually high CPU load? I dunno, it's just a guess...
BF1942 seems to have the same problem NS is having right about now... Coincedentally, they also claimed to have silky-smooth netcode before release! (Heeey... What if it's the silky smooth netcode that is causing the high server CPU load? Or am I just on the wrong track?)
I really hope Gameplanet, Paraside.net and Jetstream Games get servers soon, I spent 7 hours downloading it and theres nowhere to play <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->
