I was pretty syked when I got the game, but when I booted up Gamespy Arcade and looked at the MOH:AA servers, all but two were over 100 ping! That is a pretty terrible ping for someone paying 32 bucks a month to comcast for cable internet. Once in the game, the lag constantly jumps and people have pings wayyyyyyy over 300.
Why is it so terrible? The answer is quite obvious. To get the demo, you had to download the large file that turned many many dialup bastards away from the file. This meant only broadband users downloaded and played the demo! But with the full version release, anyone with 50 bucks can play, lagging it down terribly.
EA had best either: a) implement an easy to use ping limiter for servers, or
b) fix the network code cause I dont think it is nearly as good as the demos...
