It's not game lag. I have BF2 and BF2142 (both use 97% identical engines), and it's very hard to hit things at distance with even burst sometimes. It's programmed in-game, so it's unavoidable. Most times I have to switch to semi to hit things a moderate distance away (or I pick a gun with a huge mag and spray down range).
