Seconded regarding balance.   I haven't had much to say about balance issues simply because I'm not sure that things like OP/UP issues aren't actually lag issues.

G IH A IN ID II,

You claim that lag compensation has been present to a certain degree in every Call of Duty title in the Modern Warfare series. I find that hard to believe because what happened to me tonight (video below) left me completely awestruck. I have never seen ANYTHING remotely close to how bad this Commando-esque lunge is. Not only is Commando not in the game, but Bowling himself stated that you have "to aim" when knifing, implying that there is no lunge. I'm not sure if it was officially stated that the lunge was removed, but it definitely wasn't unless this truly is your poor excuse for making the game fair for everyone connection-wise.

I don't know if I was host in this game, but my entire team and I had 4 bars. Two of my teammates were friends that live very close to me, so if I was host, I was giving them 4 bars as well (which is likely). However, I cannot definitively say I was host since this bullsh*t happened and I didn't quit out the game to confirm as much as it warranted a ragequit.

I'm done with this game until the lag/lag compensation/host disadvantage/whatever the hell you guys did to ruin the connectivity from MW2 is fixed.

In the video you see me shoot one guy with a shotgun, and turn to shoot his ally, but I get knifed from the bottom of the stairs while the player is crouched (as if it couldn't get worse) before I could get my shot off.

Enjoy.

That is pathetic. The Chief Deciever is shamed again. There is a old saying that holds true to alot of what he says.... "Tell the the truth and shame the devil"

I have another clip where I shoot one guy twice to kill him with the KSG-12 (because he fell into Final Stand) and then his friend comes around the corner and I shoot him from a pretty good distance (KSG-12 + Range) and he falls into Final Stand and pretty much shotguns me with his Type 95.

But, this is enough for now. I can't be bothered to put this damn disc into my Xbox anymore.

Enjoy the game guys. I'll pop in on the forums to check on the current bickering and endless banter over issues that will never be completely resolved.

I have heard of this before, although I would say the aimbot/wallbang glitch on the Wii is much worse (but that's up to Treyarch to fix I think).

As for tweaking weapons after this lag compensation system is satisfactory to everyone, I don't think this system will ever be fixed and as such they should focus on both at the same time.

@G IH A IN ID II

You said you'd try to get into the specifics of the shotgun buffs on Monday.  The pellet count changes to the KSG and USAS were already known, but people were still questioning how (if at all) three others were improved. Since then, the only shotgun news was the news about fixing the tightness of pellet spray when aiming down the sight.

Were there any other changes to the shotguns, or was the buff to all shotguns just the ADS change?  Consensus has been to run shotguns with the tightest possible pattern, particularly when trying to counter the sheer random behavior of MW3 shotguns. Even if the ADS change functions as described, the tightest possible pattern is still hipfire+steady aim.  The ADS change would offer another option, but I don't know that most people would consider it a baseline buff.

Further, gioboom questioned whether the ADS change even functions as described. Considering other patch-related problems (and history of MW3 problems in general), if the extent of the ADS change was also mistaken, should the devs be keeping quiet about the specific details of patches in the first place?
