Anton , you guys need to do some sort of online beta test
I know its a huge pain to develop a beta and launch it , but its essential to getting the title out the door knowing 100% that players wont have major problems online.
A good example is gears of war 2 , epic is one of the best developers out there and they didnt properly test the games online component before launch. so when it came out there were major problems and fans cursed the game.
If you were to make a beta for this game not only would you be able to record data and make adjustments to netcode, but you would be able to take in feedback aswell.
There might be a issue in the game for multiplayer for example that you dont see yet and that a tester would be able to figure out. such as glitches that will effect the games balance.
Even if its not public you need to do an international test of the code to see how gamers from different areas connect and can shoot each other down ( Especially our freinds from eastern europe and austrailia ! )
