I don't play many other games online so I can't really compare, but I think it is pretty solid. I haven't really experienced very much lag ever

day 1 was pretty damn laggy. but i havent been on it lately but i would imagine its stable. adding servers is always a plus so... i think the best thing to do would be try it yourself.

It's really hard to get a match because it requires you to check of that you're ready. Most of the time (I don't know why) people sit there not checking it. The people who do check it start to get impatient and leave. So now when Mr.-Take-his-time is ready, there's not enough people in the room(!). Stupid, they should just have a countdown like COD4.

Then you have match hosts that allow auto aim

The match system could really be a lot better. But when it does work, and you do get to play a game, it is pretty awesome.

It is either highly entertaining, or utterly annoying as far as I can tell. The lag, I find it just unbearable. I've had people fall down dead like 10 seconds after they killed me. They should also take the auto aim off, it feels a bit cheap with it on. I really like it when we're at the airport using rocket launchers with health at normal.

One time, I sat there for 20 minutes trying to get into a free mode without auto-aim. I was getting so angry. Another option they should have added was to allow the user to search for a game that has the settings they'd like. For example, no auto aim, no cops, etc.
