Patch 1.08 update (40 down, 5 up)
I don't know what to say. My experience has improved greatly. I suspect even as host, the gameplay is usually terrible, but now i find it hard to tell when i'm hosting. I am now mowing down opponents, but have that back of my mind feeling like this is a little too easy, are these guys getting the "one shot death" that used to frequently happen to me or is the game operating as it should.
After reading some posts here, I think it is a two sides of a coin affair. When a title update is released i usually am in one group that it effects positively or on the flip side the group that is effected negatively. I see in the "title update and hot fix notes thread" IW continues to tweak this host and connection to host algorithim. Hopefully they'll get it all sorted out before too long.
As far as the extremely unplayable lag comments I have read. I wonder if you were in a 100ms lobby. I was in a party with one other player. We ended up in a 100ms lobby that was fine for 30 seconds then it felt like we were being lag switched. I check the scoreboard and everybody was green, no yellow or red bars. The lag was so extreme the menu to back out wouldn't even appear. I chalk it up to some massive internal connection error. Needless to say the highest ping lobby i will accept is 75ms. It may take a few trys but thats where my line is drawn.
