What version of SWBF2 do you play?  The original disk versions or GoG/Steam?
Are you on PC or PS2 (xbox?) ?

Are you hosting through the game or the hosting tools?

My friends and I use the disk copy of the game on PC and normally just play over a local area network. I have hosted with the server executable and the client executable both before. There is no latency issues to be seen with human players only strange behavior from the AI such as occasionally spinning in circles or teleporting in the distance seen from connected clients but not the host. The more bots the worse it gets as if the game does a very bad job at syncing movement and predicting where AI is going or maybe not as much memory is allocated like instant action.

Why is it that the netcode in this game is so trash even over LAN? I have played plenty of other FPS games from this era and they don't play near as bad as SWBF2. I noticed that in LAN the bots skip around in the distance and often just stand around or spin in circles. Setting a higher tickrate, turning off lag compensation, and turning off lag jumps does not fix these strange quirks.
