    After all the complaints of crashing and accusations against gameloft for spamming, it seems that people are starting to play multiplayer. But for me, it still seems buggy. After a couple tries, I finally got into a game, and chose my class and got in. All i did was roam around for a couple minutes trying to find where everyone was (even though grenades were being thrown somewhere) where it suddenly says connection lost. This has happened many times and i am wondering if anyone has been able to play multiplayer yet.

    I've been able to play multiplayer just fine. The only times it crashes are when I'm in the same match for more than 5-10 minutes. Try hosting and keeping the time limit at 5 minutes. It never drops the connection for me when I do that.

    weird

    Min just started working fine! Alot of fun actually when you find an active host with a good number of people. Teams are pretty fun. One terrible downfall though and it pisses me off to no end. You die too easily, I can see being hit by a rocket or a couple grenades could kill you but instead, you just get shot like 2 times with a AK and you're dead. Gets frustrating when you cant even turn around before getting killed.

    though mine still isn't working,i like what i'm seeing
    at first i can't even join any match
    then i try and try,i finally joined one but evryone ia just in the middle of the map
    the i still try,i can frequently enter a match but still they are in the center and disconnects immediately
    but now,i actually finished one match shooting them while they are crowded at the center ;)

    I've been able to join a game, but before any action I get a disconnect (999) error, so far that's as far as I've come.

    Major FAIL by Gameloft - they better fix this if they wan't success with NOVA.

    still not working for me. at work, the wireless router doesn't support upnp. at home, i can connect and join a game, but when i finally get into the game all the players are standing at the middle of the map. shortly afterwards i get disconnected with a -999

    UPnP isn't really my problem
    i just encounter that error when i'm disconnected then i reconnect
    however,still having the center of the map issue
    do you think that's related to the speed of my internet connection?
    i have 760+ kbps internet speed
    i don't think it's slow coz ,my download speed is ranging from 70 kbps to 120 kbps

    hmm .. I don't know .. I think i did mentioned before that I refused to play mcs multiplayer until GL release a fixes for it ..

    but just now, I've tried to connect .. success without any problem .. host a game .. the map loaded as what I'm expecting it to do, and then got people joining in the game and YES, we does have the hell of a good time ...

    I think I've played for more than half an hour straight, and everything seems to work just fine ..

    My GL ID is Gelas ..

    It either always crashes when I join a searched game, or after I join it, I lose connection after I see the person. Hope it gets fixed soon... it would be awesome.
