My game plays like i am host now whether im actually hosting or not! It's just great.

I cant even tell who the host is, i know about pressing select and looking at the scoreboard at the start of the match but usually theres 2-3 people that have 4 bars so theres no true way of telling unless someone knows something i dont.

It was especially bad last night for some reason.  When I was host (which is often) I finally just started camping like a little girl.  If I ran out and got into the action, it would start skipping like I was flipping the pages of a book.  I was playing in a full party and didn't want to screw the other members of my team so I just had to sit back and let Activision PENALIZE me while using my good connection for other people's enjoyment (though they were lagging anyway).

Host Disadvantage (Lag Compensation my arse!) is the one single reason I will never buy another COD game again. I have spent the last 3 months losing time and time again through no fault of my own and as an average player this is very disheartening indeed. I have got to the point where I no longer wish to play the game as I feel that my abilities no longer have any influence on the match in hand, the game decides whether I can or cannot score points.

The devs in their wisdom have not improved the player experience, they have crippled it for all because even if you are not hosting you have to sit through the host migration screen multiple times as hosts suffer lag and leave. Implementing aggressive lag compensation seems a bonkers idea given the game is supposed to pick players from a similar land mass with a similar ping time, who plays COD on a dial up? There are no 10ms v 300ms games anymore and the advantage of being host has all but diminished from what it was like on Quake Arena for instance. I can't recall screaming at COD4 because the host was a million times better than anyone else. Mind COD4 was developed by the real Infinity Ward wasn't it so maybe that has something to do with it.

It is all well and good the people not experiencing host disadvantage claiming it is just people moaning and being sour at losing but what do they think is going to happen when all the fibre connections with fast pings have dried up? I don't think they understand that being the host will then fall on their shoulders and then we will see who's just been moaning at losing.

I've played 10 games and quit out of all of them, I couldn't kill **** and that was even on some of the ones I wasn't host. I kept on trying new lobbies but they were all the same, in the end I just turned off my PS3. CoD will never get better imo, I just wish more people would give games like bf3 a chance.

IMO mw3 is the best CoD out there. But host lag has forced me back to blobs and mw2. Host lag is making me crazy. I most say it's not worth it. you can't get your kill skill on. And thats baaaaaaad. So i rather just think... "**** that ****". Even though i think it's the best one. I get host almost every single time. So in mw3 i get my ass kicked. But i mw2 and blobs i'll be killing with no trouble. I love the MW3 so this almost makes me cry. fo'real

pleeeease fix it.
