High speed, quality internet only accounts for 22% - Lag Comp.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 06:47:57 GMT

Us high speed, quality internet users according to the chart below only equal 22% of the market.

Interesting question, is lag compensation then working correctly for 78%?

If you ask me, seems like some very intelligent marketing to me.

Here we go again? Lag Compensation, Lag, More Lag, Sync Issues

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 01:00:46 GMT

This I did not anticipate from Treyarch, I am curious to maybe we are all jumping the gun ( no pun in tended ).

It seems those who felt the effects of lag comp heavily with MW3 are going to see it quicky in blackops 2, as with MW3, i feel it moderate to heavy depending on the time of day, it is there and highly noticeable.

The real question is, Treyarch's history has been good in the sense of trying to find a solution which effects the whole. I know in black ops they did not get it 100% but for me it was close, the odd game here or there that was out of sync, laggy etc ( which can be expected ).

It is very early to tell if they have any intentions of correcting it, the near future will tell.

What surprises me is, the biggest complaints used to be perks, guns, playlists, some razzing each other, camping was a big topic, hacks, mods etc, the entire season of MW3 was 90% negative on the forums and mostly concerning connectivity, here we go with blackops 2 and this is the dominant conversations, "connectivity".

Very interesting, quality internet today is more affordable for many, routers have advanced 100 fold, the stabiliy of DSL/Cable has improved greatly. Yet, the most popular FPS major complaint and discussion is connectivity, it floors me.

I anticipate for you, for me, for all COD fans, COD will return to skill, style type FPS.

Lets "HOPE" we are not jumping the gun and Treyarch has some intention of addressing the issue.

I find MW3 as a whole to be a problem, what you describe is only one more version of it.

Re: Major problems

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 23:54:45 GMT

The problem is you are playing MW3.

#1 - Your internet is performing as expected

#2 - Your router does not need to be changed or upgraded

#3 - Your time is valuable, spend it else where.

I am perplexed after 10 months people over and over are wasting thier time checking thier internet as it is the cause for all there performance issues in MW3.

MW3 is not the measurement of the quality of your internet, i know they have tried to "sell" this story in 2012 that even though every other game works fine, your internet, where you live and your ISP is the problem and you should check it, does not make this a FACT.

Your time is valuable, it is worth more then you can imagine, if MW3 is reporting your connection has flawed, moderate or strict nat or low connection ( low quality ) take out the disc and move on, equally this can be said if you have a 4 bar connection, does it really matter in this game? Has it? ...

I have not seen a hotfix here. ( Edmonton, Alberta Canada )

Re: Should I buy MW3?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 05:57:05 GMT

Depending on where you live, the type of modem/router you have, your ISP and the quality your ISP provides will determine your experience.

My idea

- Borrow the game from a friend ( if you must play it )

- Buy BlackOps 2 and "hope" for the best.

- Exercise caution when/if IW releases another title

If none of the above works for you, take up golf or yoga

Re: Gun buffs?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 05:51:17 GMT

So it seems this must change first to indicate a hot fix has indeed been implemented and only then would we be aware if anything was truly buffed. I got it - Thanks!

Re: Gun buffs?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 05:46:44 GMT

If there was a hot fix, would the version number change? I.E from .582.1 to .582.2 ?

It is called stalling, which is to say what is needed to buy more time, as the time you purchased runs out ( or those around you wise up ) start a new conversation, ideas and thoughts to extend the time, at no point do you see results, only conversation.

They can call it whatever they want to call it, it helps, more organized, etc. It is a way to hold off and drag things out until something distracts the focus on them, which very soon will be blackops2.

You know, i know, they know that as soon as blackops2 is released they will no longer be the focus for results or answers to this games biggest challenges.

I could not believe the difference in game play, still cannot. Look at the time zone map and figure out which is most populated and change your console to equal that location. I am excited to hear if this works for others as well,

Tired of Lag? Being Behind? - Fix it now. Answer To Your Problem

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:00:04 GMT

Ok, this is going to sound nuts, so to first explain, i live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. My internet connection is 25/3 Ping is under 50ms anywhere in north america. I have felt the challenges and frustration of this game since a week after release. I spent many hours into testing the packet sent/recieve and so on and so forth. To bring back up the issue of packet loss on return packets, i found that 40% of packets returned were consistantly dropped, wireless they dropped to about 20% during game play.

Now the last few months i have been more of a joker on the forums, when others explained there frustrating issues i made jokes like Maybe it is the country or state you live in, your router, your isp, i would make comments if you move to another country and get a new isp this may solve your problem.

Funny? Well i suppose it may or may not be, it certainly feels though where you live is dependant on how well you do in the game connection and match making wise.

So today yet again, ignorant as always, i go to play a few games, of course same routine, lag lag lag, instant kills, the entire team negative except for 1 person, the other team raping us and unkillable regardless of weapon choice, of course as generally while i "hope" they fix it, dashboard and move on.

This time when i dashboard something hit me, my Xbox Local Settings and Time Zone are as they should be, Canada, GMT -7, i thought how interesting.

I first changed my local to hong kong and equally my time zone. I played a few more games and it was smooth, i played 4 games all positive, it was actually FUN, i literally watch people walk in front of me, around the corner, followed them around until i felt the need to kill them, killstreaks in seconds naturally, but i still found the kills against me were still a bit "Wtf", keep in mind i found 5 - 10 games under 50ms. Even still with the WTF moments hit markers and aiming was dead on.

So i figured, what if i change it to USA and lets say Atlanta, heh i played another 5 -6 games, each match positive, it was fun, hit markers dead on, each change of weapon you could feel the difference, usually they all feel the same, they shooted the same, they performed the same, did not really matter as i was dead regardless of what i did or play style i choose.

So to end this, for those of you affected by this interesting Lag Comp, Match Making which 'technically' we are told is using IP2C ( ip to country ) to create match making, it appears to use the local data and time zone from the console, i have played how many games? And i am having the time of my life since 1 week after release.

Interesting.

If you could tell me how to play a game against foreigners from my location in Washington State, and not be raped by the built in Lag when facing Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, that would be help much appreciated.

I don't see you asking for a fix there, simplying tell me how was asked. The how is simple, Aim wayyyy away from them, the bullets will make it to their heads ^^

Also I'd lke to point out that wasn't just those from the locations of Mexico and Puerto Rico, but they were from Austria, a much much farther distance.

Interesting you mention that, it is my new style of game play, stop aiming and pretending that is part of the game, shoot in the general direction of your enemy and you will win most head on battles heh. ( Best explanation; as you see an enemy, shoot where they came from, not from where they currently are. )

Do you believe i am serious? Interesting, i suppose it is challenging to see if I am being funny or serious as it closely resembles the story we have all been told.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 23:00:34 GMT

Must be your internet and the quality of it, or your modem is not compatible with MW3, have you tried opening your ports? Maybe this is the problem. If you do not mind, please move to a different state or country and then report back and tell us if the issue still persists.

Your experience seems to be an isolated problem which only affects a small percentage of players, i know i know, every match you play, 10 are negative and only 2 have positive scores, please understand that in these matches, those two players are simply better then you, it has nothing to do with lag comp or connectivity.

What i suggest is you play more, practice more, what we are going to do to assist you in resolving this problem and providing a better gaming experience is the following.

- We are making lots of new maps

- A ton of updates that really do nothing, infact you may think they create a worse experience

- We are going to balance weapons, buff and nerf, this may also be the problem

( PS: have you tried changing weapons, perks? )

Feel free to only talk about the above items, this is where the real problem lies and it just takes some adjusting on your end once you move to a new state or province and or country. Get a new ISP and new hardware and of course rememeber to open your ports.

I am certain this will fix your current concerns.

Good for you for your continued faith, as of today's date, the best answer you will get is .......... soon, in the near future, shortly, and be rest assured - They are working on it.

No thanks is needed for offering you absolute certainty.

Cheers~!

It is not so much the evil in the world, it is those who stand by and watch it happen. Looks like you are one of those who "stand by".
