Re: LAG in HC vs. LAG in CORE?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:12:17 GMT

You do get lag in HC but it's less noticable. Because it only takes a couple of bullets to kill then you don't notice if a few bulets don't register.

I honestly think a lot of the lag problems are down to poor host selection.

I'm constantly in lobbies where people are going between 3&4 bar connections and sometimes between 2&4 bars. There is simply no way you're going to have a good game when that's happening.

Will we get at least one HC mode for the new maps? Or will us HC players get shafted again? I'm guessing it will be the latter.

Why do I never get this?!

I'd have loved this question today as I played a few games and all of them had terrible connections.

After trying to first test I looked up changing my IP address and found a post just saying to run a test(not sure if it was for my line or router) I did the test and my IP address changed and it's now showing me as being in leeds.

Tried that link and my IP Address is in Croydon. That may explain a few things.

I have the same problem some times. I'm usually ok when i'm playing alone but if i'm in a party I have to let somebody else host as it won't find a game.

Re: Geographical Region?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:35:45 GMT

Mine is saying i'm in London when i'm actually in Leeds.

Still doesn't explain why i'm put into lobbies with people from Europe all the time.

As far as i'm aware the 2 most common ways to get this are:

1)Play something like Dom and rather than trying to capture a point just kill farm.

2) Get into a game,get a friend to join on the other team,make sure you both have tactical insertions and then find a corner somewhere to boost.

I literally cannot be bothered to read most of your post but I read the last bit.

Yes we are being dismissed. There are problems with this game. I don't think it's because of "lag compensation" or anything like that. It's just bad matchmaking and poor host selection.

Re: The Lag!!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 10:21:05 GMT

I actually like this game when I works properly.

And I play other games. MW3,Gears and whatever else I fancy.

Re: Does anyone else feel like they're getting matched with bad players?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 10:19:31 GMT

It's pretty hard to accurately judge people's skill when the connection is so unpredictable.

I can go 28-3 on game and then 13-18 the next game,in the same lobby.

Skill based matchmaking is pointless if matchmaking is broken in the first place.

Re: Is matchmaking abysmal for anyone else the past few days?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 10:15:26 GMT

The past few days? Matchmaking has been awful in this game since launch.

I always use a long barrel and fast mag.

Re: The Lag!!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 10:11:22 GMT

Not so for MW3. The devs(eventually) admitted their matchmaking was broken and made a lot of effort to fix it. This was due to a lot of help from the community and Maccabi especially.

The problem with this game is that the devs refuse to admit there are any problems. The "the internet changes" comment from Vahn pretty much sums up their attitude. It's not the game that's at fault,it's people's connections.

While I agree that "the internet changes" it is changing for the better,not getting worse.

Mirage. I just really like the map for some reason.

Re: The Lag!!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:38:56 GMT

Maybe that's the whole problem then.

Each bit such be weighted differently. With connection taking priority.

Whatever way it's done I still think matchmaking is broken in this game and that's the main reason why people have problems.

For instance I live in the UK and when I play other shooters, even other COD games, I will be put into lobbies with mainly UK players. In this game I can sometimes be put into lobbies with NO UK players. Even at peak times. I refuse to believe that a lobby with players from 8 different EU countries will have a better connection than a lobby with mainly UK players in it.

I've said this numerous times(maybe even in this thread) - the problem with lag in this game is how matchmaking works.

Treyarch put out a statement saying it goes proximity>skill>connection when really it should be connection>proximinity>skill.

Until Treyarch change this then the problems will continue to exist.

Connection - and possibly host selection as well - should always be the number 1 priority when searching for games.

HC is fine as it is.

Sure it's annoying when a team mate kills you and ends your streak but there have been numerous times when i've done it to somebody(not on purpose).

If you don't like care packages getting stolen then don't use them. Or equip the Black Hat then you can capture them from a distance or even from on top of buildings and out of the map. I personally don't use them in HC because they are too risky,especially with the terrible spawning in this game.

And I totally agree about a spawn times. I hate that this game no longer has one

Probably the FAL with a Stock and ACOG on.
