My question:
Hello Tony. I am really looking forward for The Conduit's release in 11 day's , but there is something that is troubling me with the online. As you may or may not know (hopefully you do know), the Wii is often criticized for its lag online. This was especially a problem for brawl and Call of Duty: World At War. I am amongst the best top cod players on the Wii (the clan I'm in ranked first on gamebattles and second in the playoffs), so I am well aware of what we **** gamers are looking for. The reason why Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 had such a long lasting appeal to the **** audience of the Wii was because of the fact that EA Server's made the connection for everyone fair. I understand that you are probably not able to do this with Sega servers or what not so the hosting system will work similar to that of Call of Duty's (correct?). The problem with this is more so for public games, as it can get quite annoying. Many people either intentionally lag or their internet connection sucks completely. On the 360, if you lag the server just simply boots you and it looks for a better host. If you could simply implement this within the next 11 days it would cause this game to last so much longer. If you play a game of CoD on the Wii, it's terrible, because one game you could have a great connection and the next you would have to spend 10 minutes skipping around or lag shooting a lot, while the host experiences no lag and has a HUGE advantage over everyone else. Due to the hosting system on CoD, it's COMPETITIVE appeal has died quickly (many of the high ranked teams on gamebattles gave up on it and are awaiting for The Conduit), so don't let this happen with the conduit.
HVS Tony's Reponse:
Hi SaintXS. We are not owned by EA and do not use there servers. They got a special waiver to use there own servers for MOH. Nintendo is very strict on using there system and every future title, including EA, has to reapply for a strict waiver. Im with you. I hate lag. Unfortunately as per Nintendo certification, we are NOT allowed to kick anyone based on internet speed. The good news is that we have a lot of network optimizations and if everyone even has a decent ping, you will get a smooth experience. We did a play through with a magazine from Europe and playing from here in Chicago all the way to Europe, experienced no lag at all.
Final Thoughts:
This sounds a lot like CoD to me.... A LOT like CoD.

That really does suck. Get ready for more host advantage and lag like in CoD; you can't even see how many bars you have in TC online.

Sick response. hehe... Well, I just wanted him to know from that sentence that like, I can at least point and aim at my tv screen, and I can tell the difference between lag and no lag. I was trying to send him a warning of what us ****, sexpert gamers want, but obviously they're not making a good enough attempt to fix it. Aredd I fully agree with you. It didn't even seem like he FULLY read my post. Also notice how at one point he used there instead of their, I loled.

I was a bit turned off by his response. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. I sure as hell don't want another CoD:WaWii, though. And to think I pre-ordered this game not five hours ago. >_>

I just hate how everyone left CoD to pin all of their hopes on TC. Now, it seems as if many of those issues will be prevalent in TC too....

Yeah honestly I didn't mind it, it just seems as if people enjoy to complain. The game itself was ...ehh... but the lag was bearable. I enjoy lag as it adds a challenge into the game

... WaW was extremely annoying especially when you used the shotgun or non-automatic guns (not counting those times where lag actually made them automatic hahahaha). Yeah sounds like this could turn out to be the same as reviewers also said WaWii didn't lag. Should've linked him to that gameplay video i posted a while ago and asked if that moment at *time* (you can probably find me mentioning it in the topic) isn't lag? Seriously his target didn't get hurt at all and he clearly got hit multiple times
