When I play Planetside, it usually works as intended for about thirty minutes, where I'm killing guys, dying, taking and losing points. After I've been logged in for between thirty minutes and an hour, the game begins to lag to the point where I cannot shoot anything, due to there being anywhere between 2 and 15 seconds of lag. Lag time was determined by having a friend shoot me, and then waiting for my game to register damage.

When this lag occurs, standard play becomes impossible, but running around in circles makes it impossible for me to be hit by anything but stray bullets. So, it becomes possible for me to choose medic, run around in invulnerable mode, hide behind cover otherwise unreachable until planetside agrees that I am behind that cover, and then revive an entire platoon's worth of dudes on top of, I don't know, the SCU.

Is this unique to my game somehow, or do others notice this as well? Is there a fix I'm unaware of? I'd rather be playing as a heavy than a laggy ninja medic but heavy doesn't work when I'm shooting at where enemies were five seconds ago with bullets that arrive five seconds after I shoot them.
