You should get what you paid for... Granted I was still beasting(or any other cheesy word) on people with 4Bar connections when I only had a 3mb connection at time, so its not like people who do have faster connections have this great advantage, you're wrong people who don't have great internet still have a chance.

Will they still lose a gun fight here and there? Yes, but they can still do good.

you cant really compare BF3 and cod at a gameplay level. they both are going for a different style.

go play BF3. While its a differnt type of gameplay, its still fun. Also its a lot easier to screw around in with jeeps and stuff. Plus after you do, you will realize just how lazy IW was with everything. That game sounds, looks, and plays amazingly. Plus you can see how not laggy games are with dedicated servers

why punish players with normal internet?

Why should you have to pay big bucks for speed thats not even neeeded?...you should definatly have ZERO advantage over someone else just because you dont have the best of the best!

its like clio cup racing....all cars are the same so its the better driver that wins...simples....

(and who really has dail up now-a-days? noone because its impossible to run dail up on modern games)

That is where you are wrong. Everyone disserves a level playing field. They need to fix now though.

@Rednecksniper - honestly you need to quit saying that until you meet the minimun requirements for Xbox Live. It's people like you that need to start following the rules instead of working around them.

You've stated in different threads that you have a satellite connection which is NOT support by Microsoft. Its connection like yours that is hurting everyone else.

Do not use satellite, 3G, or 4G phone type connections. These types of connections are not supported, and you are likely to experience slow game performance or have problems downloading or streaming content. For the best Xbox LIVE experience, an Internet service provider (ISP) with a high-speed cable or DSL connection is recommended.

Im asking for the game to work!! lol.

When I play at the moment im constantly waiting for the lag to happen, or trying to out think the lag ( impossible i know, but thats what its feels like)

When all I should be worried about is the other team, its almost like your fighting two battles in every game lol.

You get my point........

Unfortunately I can't work out how to quote text on my iPad, sorry for that.

Dr killing - what you are asking for is exactly how the game already works - you play against people with a similar ping to the host as you. Broadband speed is irrelevant in online gaming, ping and line quality are all that matter. Lag compensation is there to further equalise these ping times, to try and bring every player in the lobby to within a few ms of each other.

Unfortunately something isn't quite right with how it's implemented, some people are a certain amount of ms out with everyone else. This isn't based on speed, faster connections are not the only ones being 'punished' by this. Everyone can be equally effected regardless of speed.

Removing lag compensation is definitely NOT the answer, then those with very low pings would constantly be upto a second ahead of others, not good!!

It does need some fixing, when you are killed before the guy comes around the corner or the guy youre shooting at dies AFTER you reload, its a problem.

If you want to have the upperhand in lag comp do what I have done. I us an old Linksys wireless g router, wifi both xbox and ps3, take them into the bedroom and play. It sucks that I can't use my pvr, but I don't have to yell at the tv about shooting a f*n guy 30 times in his back and still dying.

It's okay i guess. slowed down gameplay though. Try mass effect or borderlands.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:51:38 GMT

Point 1. I think activision has serious money!

Point 2. Your right, it proberly is just a COD set up, but thats the game I like to play, Havent ever tried BF, is it any good, do you have any suggestions?

Re: Why punish players with good internet...

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:50:46 GMT

Thats the way mine is set up but I seem to be one of the lucky ones where I hardly suffer from lag .Ive went back to BLOPS just to compare and the lag is terrible maybe the fact on BLOPS there are always people from US etc where as MW3 its local and when I have joined a US lobby get hit with a 2/3 bar all the time so end up going back to the local lobbies.

Re: Why punish players with good internet...

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:39:19 GMT

It ccould happen i guess but idk. It migt take some serious money to set that up. I do have a reccomenddation though. Try some other games if this one gives you problems. You didn't set that up for gaming you set it up for cod. No true gamer only plays cod

Why cant they just have like a 2 teir system, like if your serious bout gaming like me, (not saying im worthy of youtube or anything) just saying that I have brought my TV for gaming purpose first, TV programs last!, an expensive headset, 50mb internet, etc etc.... ALL for the SOLE purpose of gaming, acctually its purley a set-up for COD (lol its the only thing ive ever had in my xbox).

You get my point..

Lets say if you have a 25ms ping or less then you should only play with similar set ups,

Im sure there other people like me with this set up (COD only set-up).

Can that happen? or am I being stupid?

Just a thought.

if i pay for faster internet, i deserve for it to be faster than people who do not pay for faster internet. I dont care if its fair or not. Thats the way it goes. Fast internet isnt even expensive nowadays. Im a college student taking 15 credits working a minimum wage job on top of school fees, rent, gas, insurance, food, fun money etc. i can stil afford 25mbps.

Mine always says 50 pings so does that actually mean I should always have a good connection?
