I know the server always gets some lag spikes now and then where rubber banding players back and forth really bad for a minute or two, but 2-3 weeks before .856 came out it has been doing this to me the whole game. Not as bad as the bad spikes but really annoying rubber banding, like when I turn left, all the sudden it rubber bands me back looking straight, then I have to turn left again. Also when I’m in iron sights shooting I get delayed kick, so like I put a round down range my gun kicks up, I wait 3 seconds for it to come down then I shoot again, as soon as I shoot my next round I get the delayed kick from the first round again sending my bullet and screen high in the air. I know some maps use to do this to people but for the past 4-5 weeks it has done this on every map, at every time of the day, with anyone from 10-62 people in the server. I know this is not video lag because I have a really good machine, and I have tried low, medium, high settings with all the same outcome.

I am playing from California with 89 ping, it stays constant but every now and then I see it jump as high as 130. Now when I see my ping spike I don’t see other people’s ping spiking, so it might be my connection to the server. The other day I talked to Namebot and he said he gets the same thing, I notice he has a similar ping to me and might be playing from California also. Also this seems to be happening only on Tactical Gamer, I have played on servers where I have 200 and above ping and it runs smooth. On the servers that run smooth I notice they are not running battle recorder, it could be something with battle recorder is causing the rubber banding.

If anyone is getting this same type of lag all the time(not just for 1-2 minutes) please post your ping and location to see if this is a west coast problem, or if everyone is feeling this. Also if anyone has any network/video fixes for this please share. Thanks
