    @ToastedSarnie I had massive problems with the ZPG while in Giddy Park at a time when the server lag was hideously high- there was breakage and desyncing with either parts of, or the entire, animation and sound effects.

    In some cases the ZPG animation would not execute and the audio would lag behind by several seconds.

    There's also issues with the fire rate of the Soldier's primary weapon.

    When the sever lag is absent I don't experience the same issues

@ToastedSarnie My impression is that it's just server lag from a system which is not optimized to handle even a decently high number of players simultaneously in one iteration of Giddy Park. I haven't done split screen so I can't compare.

You'd think that being a live service game they'd have planned accordingly for such a load but the influx of new players over the holidays shows that once the player count goes over a dozen or a dozen-and-a-half everybody's experience turns into garbage but the Soldier seems especially bad.
