Throw into the mix individuals who throttle or alter their connection to gain an advantage, or in some cases with well meaning reasoning to prevent a disadvantage they are suffering from, and you have a wide spectrum of connection types to balance. This is the challenge.

MW2 had this balance. Didn't matter if you had 3 or 4 bars, you always had an equal chance in firefights. Again I urge you to look there if you need help figuring out how a proper lag compensation system works.

Also, I don't think it's right that I have to suffer from these terrible lags while you're looking for the balance. I have a good net connection so I shouldn't have problems with lag, which is the case in any other online game.

What you got in place in MW3 is completely backwards. The baseline should be that us who have adequate net connections should be having perfect gameplay. You should then work on getting the people with crap connections up to that standard or close to it, without hindering our gameplay. This way you'd also solve the other problem you have, which is people hindering their connections on purpose to gain an advantage.

Agree 100%

Lag is currently a game breaking issue for all players atm...The 2 best scenarios i can give here are targetting a player who is clearly facing away, or sideways when your firing at them, only to somehow get a killshot on you while facing another direction..You then view the killcam thining how in the *, and see he was facing you the whole time..And i have Comcasts fastest internet, and live within a few miles of the station..I also have minimal splitters wired into my house, and the cables shortened to the extreme...Theres nothing more can be done fr4om my end!

The 2nd example is one we all have expereienced time and again...You see on your radar, or through window, etc that you have an enemy about to round your coner/doorway..You find cover, brace, and train your crosshairs on said corner..Somehow, by feat of magic, or divine interfervention that player who may or, may not be aware of your placement has not only rounded the corner but noticed you, had time to target you, and deliver killing shots all b4 you can squeeze your trigger..You knew he was coming, your were poised to strike..This man had every advantage working against him in the situation(the most relevant being the element of surprise)...How can he not know your there, find you and, target you b4 you can shoot, if lag is not an extreme factor?!?

@G IH A IN ID II: Here is your precious Last Stand Animation Glitch. Really? About the same amount of bullets hitting him that it would take to put him down into Sissy Stance in the first place and it doesnt kill him. AGAIN!

btw Ghandi
i noticed that when i got guy from U.K. in game, i am in L.A., CA, it was impossible to kill him, so there s something going on with matchmaking
i fired full clip , hitmarks, and he killed me lol

 

on other hand, there are sometimes really good lobbies with smooth lag free game, i notice like almost everybody had 4 bars

 

i also have to say to confirm, that i have laggy experience when there re split screen players in game

 

btw it s maybe stupid, but visuals of P90 ammo, with extended mags, looks weird, it s like one row , and above that it s like 1/3 of that row, symbolising ammo, so it looks weird

4 bars doesnt seem to mean anything in this game. I play regularly against people from mexico with 4 bars. In MW2 people from mexico always had 1 or 2 bars. I'm pretty sure you could play agains people from the space station and they would still have 3-4 bars.

I think of of our "patches" was to drastically lower the ping requirement for displaying 3-4 bars to make people think they are actually fixing something.
