This is the conclusion that me AND my cousin who games on the Xbox have decided is the only alternative. He says he experiences the same tampering that we do.

Good video. I looked that one up when I couldn't belive how bad I got at Black Ops.

What I don't understand is this. MW2 and World at War are different developement branches steeming from COD4. I haven't played much WaW but it's offspring Black Ops was terrible when it came to hit detection and lag inflicted issues. MW2 was solid as a rock. It had it's own issues but when I got in a <50ms lobby my hitmarkerd were dead on. So how comes that MW3 which is a polished MW2 does suffer from Black Ops issues?

Theater Mode? - Seems to be implemented from BLOPS BUT does not represent the hosts view anymore for it's saved locally. My guess is that one and the same match will look different from each other due to different realities captured. Since there is no first person view for other players this will be hard to prove, but I doubt that theater mode is responsible for this mess.

Stats: Though not as extensive as in Black Ops (ingame stats, not Elite) there are loads of stats and challenges to track and transfered to the stats-server. I don't know when this is happening, but after each round the game results are available at Elite so this seems to happen sort of real-time and could add up to hosts performance problems which surely affects all the other players (good or bad). Don't know if this is enough to explain the games sometimes worse than Black Ops performace but given the lack of developers insights one strong suspect.

It's simple if you want to be on an even field, downgrade your internet to what cheap people have and your good.

this is the most idiotic idea. 

1 this game is not that download or upload intensive once the action starts.

2.  downgrading to crap internet will only slow down your start time, as in the other players will start before you and you won't get any countdown timer because you are still loading the match data.

3. what this game is very dependent on for your success is a fast ping time and no amount of upload or download speed will give you that, it's a matter of location.

for anyone who does not know what a ping is:  it is the ammount of time it take to send a packet of data, to the host in this case, round trip.
