Anyone experiencing any lag today?

I have only been playing MP for 3 days... First two days were ok but tonight has been a nightmare on Wolfpack.

Out of interest is this MP host based or is it set up on a server somewhere?

AC3 matches are P2P/player-hosted.

The game is P2P hosted, so there's always going to be some kind of lag. The severity of it varies.

Something interesting on this subject was mentioned in a recent podcast- a good portion of the lag comes from the fact that the game has to generate 100+ NPCs that can do exactly what the player can do.

It's funny you mention that because everytime I kill an NPC in Wolfpack the warning "Network is Experiencing Technical Problems" pops up

The last couple of days has been on and off.

Its a shame because I really like the Wolfpack concept. Its loads of fun.
