When I quit matches its within the first 2 minutes. I can tell right away when it's going to be one of those matches and I'm outta there.

I know what you mean, i play for fun and its not fun being a crash test dummy for people with lag compensation on their side, i've nothing against losing a match if the other players are good and i never dashboard, stats mean nothing to me, but there is no reason to me playing a full match where i can't do anything, those are the matches where i don't even get a hitmarker when shooting other players, if BO2 has the same hit detection then i am done with the franchise.

This so called new "lag compensation" in MW3 was designed to make the playfield equal to everyone, but it does the opposite thing, it makes the game out-of-sync, great job for testing your games before release and not fixing it after almost 7 months.

what is the very latest up to date information on the new team that was brought in to look at the horrendous lag, sync issues?

And please look at this too:

And maybe share your thoughts, this is really how it plays for me and all my friends, at all times. Its unplayable.

Not only you and your friends, its the same for me and my friends as well.

This video is old, from November 2011 when the game came out but it still plays the same way to this day, nothing has changes with the lag.

And all we get to hear is "the team is looking at it" or "the next update will fix it", i doubt the next update will fix it.

IW should put a Local Only search option into the game just like Treyarch did.

I've had this problem before as well when I've got Blind Eye Pro as my 1st Tier Perk.

It's rare but it still happens.

I believe you, this bug or glitch is just new to me.

Did they fixed the glitch where you get 2 KS points for shooting down Air Support instead of just 1 point? its easy, just shoot at the enemies Air Support while a rocket hits it, you get 2 points this way, easy way to get a predator, basically the same glitch as the Cold Blooded method in MW2.

The thing is, people have different internet connection, so everyone has a different experience with lag compensation, some suffer from constant host disadvantage, some others say the game runs great because these people are on the positive side of lag compensation.

From a mathematic point of view its like 2 differnt variables in MW3 (Your Connection and Lag Compensation) while in other CoD there is only one (Your Connection), if someone had a bad connection then you could see him laggin all over the place, in MW3 you can have a bad connection and still have a good gameplay because of the second variable (The Lag Compensation), the Lag in previous CoDs was predictable, you knew if someone lags, in MW3 it hidden (Ping Bar and Movement).

All i wanna say is, its cool if the game runs good for you or someone else, thats how it should be, but please don't judge other peoples experience with lag just because you don't suffer that much from it, everyone has a different connection so its the experience.

I remember when i've played with a friend who doesn't lives to far away from me, he complained about lag while i dropped people with 1-2 shoots, then the next match i got killed by 1 bullet and my bullets don't register correctly while he was in god mode, this game is so connection driven its insane, doing well in this game isn't a factor of your skill, its the factor on which side of lag compensation you are.

Well said brother.

These new IW devs have probably no idea how to handle the game code since half of the original CoD creators have left IW / Activision.

I had hopes that the game will be fixed but it seems it won't be, so its now up to Treyarch saving the franchise.

Sucking at CoD? hahaha, that was a good one, dude, CoD is the easiest shooter on the market, how is that possible to suck at it? wake up, this game is fun shooter and its NOT fun if your shoots don't register correctly and don't tell me its just me, my whole friend list has stopped playing Modern Garbage 3 because of the connection in this game, also many people across the world.

Fix the damn LAG!

Nope, fonic is correct, the game is broken. 1000ms artificial lag on MW3 is far worse than any mods on 2 year old COD titles.

True, in CoD4 and WaW i get at least a hitmarker when i shoot someone, in MW3 my bullets don't register correctly and i die with 1 bullet, its feels like playing versus hackers.

All i ask for is hitmarkers when i shoot someone and it has nothing to do with my internet because all the previous CoD games worked well connection wise.

CoD franchise is a good example why a monopole is a bad thing, if you don't have competition then you can do what ever you want and people will still buy your product, doesn't matter if they like it or not.

The CoD devs will start caring about the product when a equal game is on the market and CoD will loose buyers and players, till then, nothing will changing.

CoD should be quality over quantity, not the other way around.

7 months, 13 updates and many hotfixes, and the game still broken on multiple levels.

I think the Face Off Maps are designed for the Quickscoper Community in mind who have asked for a Sniper Only playlist since years, but the devs didn't want to limit these maps to Snipers Only thats why its called Face Off with small maps, its not fun to play 1v1 or 2v2 on a big map.

I like that the devs are trying new things out, but for most of us who play TDM or DOM mainly its a disappointment, especially for people who have premium elite.

@Ghandi: if you read this, please fix the damn lag! bring region lock back as a optional feature or do something else, but do something, we've asked to fix the lag since launch and yet its still present, give me at least hitmarkers when i shoot someone! i am tired of my bullets don't register correctly.

I would really like to know who is testing this game, after the firerate increase buff on akmibo which should be a nerf, i am not surprised about the new broken fix with dead silence and siterep, not even a little, these developer don't test their own product thats for sure.

The 4 new small maps aren't that bad, it can be a lot of fun in private matches with friends, but i would never play these maps online, to boring.

@Ghandi: when will you guys fix the lag in this game? or a better question, will you EVER fix the lag in this game?

Stop promising things which you guys can not deliever, if you can't fix the lag then say it! its ok if you can't fixing the game, at least we know the game will never be fixed.

No matter how many new game modes, maps and whatever, its still unplayable. Fixing "Lag Comp" should be top priority. Pure Greed by ATVI / IW / SHG. Ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly 1000x times.

Could be possible since its EA and Activision, but i doubt it, its to much work to rewrite all the sourcecodes from the past (incl. all title updates), when i do program an app or script, i always keep my previous sourcecodes in case i did something wrong so i can compare both, it souldn't be different in any other big company.

The plan is to keep this as is. Although we are rewording the text because it was confusing some people. The reason this is there is that late in the cycle of previous CoD titles people found it hard to matchmake with others if their DLC combination was a fringe case. Say they had bought pack 1 and pack 3 only. The only solution for these players was to delete their map packs in order to be matched into a larger pool.

If you don't mind the question why do you ask?

Ok thanks, i understand.

CoD is a fun shooter to play with friends who aren't good at videogames.

People should accept the game for what it is, a fun experience (nothing wrong with it) but far from a competitive online game, especially on Consoles and its p2p Matchmaking system, just sayin.

Those 2 parts made me LOL for real.

Fun shooter to play with friends? ALL of my friends stopped playing the game after a month because it was an absolute nightmare to play, especially in a party with friends.

This made me LOL too

Whats so funny about it? CoD is like a kinect or wii game, a casual friendly pick up and play game, especially on consoles, many of my casual friends are the proof for it, all you have to get is a 3 kill so you get a care package and you can fly a AC130 and such, it may by shock you but CoD was designed to the casual players in mind.

Whats more funny is, is all the people who still take CoD as a online shooter very seriously, like it means something in your life, believe it or not but CoD is designed for casual players, pick up and play, and this is why it sells so well and won't change.

If you haven't realized it yet, yes you can complain about things and the devs will fix it in the next CoD, but the same time they will add new BS to the game just to piss you off, you better learn to accept it because it won't change, CoD is a casual shooter, believe it of not but its true.

Re: WHICH IS BETTER MW2 OR 3?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 04 May 2012 13:09:37 GMT

If i had to choose one of these games i would pick MW3, because in MW2 everyone is running around with Infinite Noob Tubes and Commando.

But i prefer the Maps from MW2.
