Multiplayer Sync problem?

I just copied and paste from the Syn forum, save my typing fingers:


Re: Syndicate server

I left the server 10mins ago.. was approx 40 ppl.


I know you mentioned it in another thread, but there really something suspicious happening here. All these people on the server and I only saw two other player's, and a pilot flying with-out a plane. lol.

Anyway. As you know, in the chat box new spawns are related to each player. "x plane at I6", for example. Now, I was flying over that particular airfield and I didn't see any German planes despite the chat-box being updated telling otherwise.

I decided to track record on the server (never used it before). Sadly it turns out that it's functionality is poor. The recording is fine, but I was hoping to switch planes from the track file, but no such luck. I couldn't even look from outside.

I really do think there is some kind of sync problem that gives the effect of many players being in the same place and time, but like sci-fi, a parallel dimension.. well you know what I mean. If this is the case then that really throws a spanner in the works for MP in CoD.



I know I'm not the only one thinking along these lines, and I have had my suspicions for awhile now. Just can't find a way to prove there is an issue.

It's a big map for sure, could be many reasons why we dont' often bump into people. But the new plane at so-and-so reference but no visible plane spawned at the airfield visually has made the above suspicion more solid imo.
