If its not the rubbish sound going its losing connection, I've been giving this game a good go these last few months but its the shelf or bin for this unless something happens soon.

Ive never had steam do that on any other game i play using steam, so one can only assume its the game. Anyhow, very annoying and another massive turn off to this title, still at least we know what the office looks like so its not all bad news.

Tree's statement that he disconnects after a couple of minutes indicates to me, that it is not a Steam/Server crash issue, but something more local, as my CoD doesn't kick me off servers very often.

I normally only frequent SYNdicate and Repka 1, so I can't say much about the other servers, but those two don't crash with any great frequency.

Sound issues might be related to DirectX sound (voices) count. Basically, only number of sounds can be played at the same time, and if more is tried to be played, some isn't played at all. It could be that this happens in MP when lots of objects are spawned/despawned and all voices are used up easily. Game should be smart enough to not play sound of too distant object completely, but unfortunately there are some issues with this as most of us have observed (i.e. sometimes we can hear bullet hits 500-800m away).
