    So, I've been playing some of the multiplayer, and I noticed straight away that there is some insane lag. I'm skidding all over the place and sometimes I just keep standing up when I'm dead, etc.  Once, it even started showing the disconnection icon, when I was quite connected. Keep in mind, I have a perfect connection to loads of other online games. One of the first things I did was see if this was happening on some other games like MW and Gears 2, and it wasn't, so it can't be a problem on my end.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

    I've played a ton of it and it happens once every 10 or so matches, which isn't that bad considering most go on for about 10+ minutes. (Team Deathmatch ).. but when it happens it's the worst... it always causes these weird glitches where you end up not being able to move out of a spawn until someone comes and kills you, being stuck half in the scenery and sometimes after it sorts itself out the guns or plasmids dont work and you cannot reload.

    I have probably played more laggy matches than normal ones which is a real shame because the normal matches seemed to be really fun

    it's a real shame too as I was starting to enjoy the multiplayer but the lag makes me enjoy it less and less.

    The only multiplayer game that I've played so far was HELL.

    Ah, so I'm not the only one with this problem. I hope they fix it soon, because it's really taking away from my feeling of enrapturement with this game.

    The insane lag was introduced via the patch that was released. They're currently working on another patch to fix this problem, but I'm betting it'll cause some more problems along the line.

    Yep. For me it's like Lag Central.
     
    EDIT: And also it took me a solid 5 minutes to find a game. Sitting in the lobby. Anyone else experience this?

    I haven't been able to find many games for modes like Team ADAM Grab and the like, but it takes around half a minute - maybe less - for me to find a Civil War or Free For All.

    Played two games both were laggy as hell, trying to go through a door would teleport me all over the place. And it's great when you're going in for a melee attack and you'll just pop back 20 feet and get blasted.
     
    Haven't had any issues finding games though. Hope they fix whatever this is.

    Same here. 
    My lag isn't too bad, but when I get a game with a bad host it tends to make me ice skate.

    It was not nearly as bad as it was prior to the patch with the PC version. Now it's unplayable, which saddens me; that multiplayer looks really really good :(

    Alt-tabbing seems to clear it for me... multiplayer is actually quite enjoyable.

    I've experienced next to none lag with my 12+ hours with the multiplayer.

    Yeah there is a bit of lag, but when you're so focused on killing someone you hardly notice it (I didn't). It has that unreal engine type lag that UT and Gears had for me. Still, it's so fun I don't even notice it. The crashing however...eh.
