Dude, I suggest you take a look at the BF3 thread. I don't care for that game in any way, but go look over there. The majority of users again are PS3 guys and yet look at how much talk there is about 'lag' or 'connection issues'. There's next to none and when there is, it generally affects both 360 and PS3.

The system being used has zero effect on connections (there ain't no super Ethernet port or incredible new wifi on board the newer 360's, I can tell you now). Facts are, if you're connecting to someone on the other side of the country you WILL lag, there is literally no way to not have lag there, especially on P2P connections. Nor does paying for XBL. Neither of these factors you're mentioning have any affect.

I wouldn't be surprised if you aren't noticing the lag, it's not a detriment to you or your playing ability. Just that some don't know exactly what they're seeing and it can happen in such a way that you just don't really notice it (like it was for the first few hours on Blops 2 for me).

I remember back in COD4 when I first started it up I was getting moments where I'd pump several shots into a guy, he'd turn around and kill me, then on the killcam I'd have only put like 2 bullets in. Coming from Resistance: Fall of Man (a dedicated server game), I had no idea why this was happening or what it was about. It frustrated the hell out of me but I just accepted it as being the game.

I'd say if you look hard enough while you play, you will see more than a few of these moments pop up and eventually you'll see them happening more and more frequently. Because there's no way you're not only not getting lag, but there's no way you're the only person in the world not getting lag compensation. Because everyone gets it.Anyone that buys a system solely to play one franchise or series is doing themselves a MASSIVE disservice.

Why spend all that money just for a couple or a few games? Why not get the entire catalogue of games that you couldn't play on the other system? If you like games, there's bound to be a bunch of franchises that you do like. inFAMOUS, Resistance (if you like Halo, would be fairly hard to dislike this), LBP, God of War, Metal Gear Solid and a copious amount of awesome Downloadable titles.

I shouldn't have to mention this stuff, but if you're going to be ignorant to the other stuff out there, it's worth knowing that there's a heap of quality to look for as well. And as I said, if you like games, this stuff WILL appeal to you.
Fair enough, nothing much I disagree on in this post, and as I posted before, I've played most ps3 exclusive titles and enjoy most of them, so it's not as if I'm forming an opinion having played only one system.

Dear Host Migration

You Suck.

Kind Regards
grrofunger
non stop all night....absolutely infuriating!

also i'm back on my old school of thought re: host swapping/lag comp.....it HAS to be something to do with giving everyone the feeling of feeling like they're good and trying to hook them in to play more since they already have the majority of good players hooked in to play.
it also helps as the average players will struggle to feel/realise what is going on (like what goldmember was alluding to and which is something i've said in the past) and just think that what is going on is natural.
cause let's face it, we love doing well and it's those good games we have that keep bringing us back for more!

i mean i'm as aggressive as it gets so i expect to die more than the average joe but you can't tell me in the SAME lobby against the SAME group of players i can go from 28-32 to 78-15 to 5-8 at which point i turned the system off as i don't believe a single one on one death in the last game was legitimate.

it's just lucky for me as i'm not an addict like i was back in the cod4 days so i can easily go days/weeks without playing a cod cause this is starting to piss me off like mw3 did. blops 2's saving grace is that at least on this i get games where i feel i'm on parity with a good host.

Why is there so much hate towards hardscoping or using the scope at all? If the crosshair pops up I get called a hardscoping ****** and other profanities, even if it is for third of a second. Basically just made a lvl 50 odd 6 prestige rage quit over my consistent use of the actual aiming mechanism of the gun. many lols were had.

The fully sick XxXqUiCkScOpErsXxX on COD don't like it when you use the snipers the way they were designed to be used, instead of leaving everything up to the game's auto-aim/luck. There's absolutely nothing wrong with "hardscoping".

Keep doing it I say - the more angry/upset quickscoping wankstains with rustled jimmies there are the more fun you'll have.

So underrated. If your using Engineer you can also hack the care package at the same time.
Just on this, if it's an enemy's package you don't need Engineer. I just stole an enemy's Escort Drone and booby trapped his package right in front of him.

Fully agreed, i hard scope all the time when sniping, i am usually the ones rage quicking if there are quickscopers running around "cheating".....

Also, on 360 i have the game play has improved somewhat over the last week or so with much less glitching, network cutouts and lag, not say it has completely been fixed but seems much more playable and enjoyable, lets hope this only improves.

you can thank mw2 and the piece of shit community that game onwards brought in. :thumbsdown: (obviously a bit of a generalisation but not far off the mark)

i'm not sure that MW2 is entirely blame, it just co-incided with the influx and the youtube/facebook generation boom.

you see it everywhere in society

the youth of today in general are arrogant,disrespectful, ill-educated shit heads and COD has become a medium for them to release their angst that they have built up inside due to their own personal shortcomings and real life social awkwardness.

I think MW2 was the enabler, but I think it would've happened if there was no MW2 and people were still playing COD4.

MW2 was just timed at the same time the game started going to shit in that aspect.

But I really miss the MW2 maps.

Lol at the kid who abused me for "taking" his tag in Kill Confirmed. Tag disappeared before I reached it.

Got VTOL Warship x2 on Carrier. Went to town. :thumbsu:

Ah its alright, bit casual with this one so of course I'm gonna get owned early. Getting some pretty poor connection though 2-3 bars max each time.
Is knifing strange in this one? I swear I've gone through people with the knife 30+ times now, even if its just walking up from behind.
Seems people tend to travel in pairs or threes in this version, every time I am about to kill someone a teammate of theirs will be like...what up?
First time got it on PC, even taking in to consideration people would probably be better on PC than console, i'm struggling opposed to on xbox I was doing well.
Oh well, still yet to try single player should probably finish that first I guess.
