What's your tolerance level for this game?

How long do you play before you get fed up with all the issues with the game like lag, bad hit detection, bad spawns, and so on?
The only time I ever turn the game off out of frustration from those issues is if I cant get into a <75ms ping lobby. I rarely experience any of the things you mention if I get placed in a <50ms or <75ms lobby. If I can get into a lobby like that, then I'm usually fine. If I'm having a hard time joining one, it usually means I'm up way too late, so I just turn the game off and go to bed.
It depends on my mood. If it's a bad night with connections and I'm not completely pissed off by it, I'll do something different, like camp up with a sniper rifle, use a gun I've never used before, that sort of thing. I really prefer to run and gun, but most nights my lag issues don't allow it. It's hard to keep the mentality that it's a game and it's supposed to be fun, especially when you keep seeing a single bullet come at you and you fall over, shooting a guy in the face 3 times with a shotgun while he knifes you from the side, and getting shot by someone looking the other way.
its all about the connections as other have also said.. being insta-killed with bad hitmarkers isnt fun when you have just come off a previous game of 40-5 lol.. ![]()
That's what makes me the most frustrated for sure. I once went back to back matches with a MOAB; 31-0 and 36-0. The third match I didn't get a chance to to rack as many kills and went 21-1. The very next match I think I went 15-10ish playing against the same people. I just don't understand
they probably caught on to your tactics, or maybe you were fatigued or tired. It happens to me sometimes
I am fortunate that I witness very little lag, one occasion its the bending bullet around corners thing that pisses me of. My tolerance level is measured by my wife's tolerance level of me playing! Its short by the way.
Love that!
lol same but w/ GF hahahaha
^ lol yea know that feeling.. (She who must be obeyed).. ![]()
Last night she stood over my shoulder with a extremely low tolerance look! Frightening.
The game really has tried my patience a lot since after the first month it was out. Then all the lag and crap started happening and I'm wondering just how I managed to keep going without putting it in the microwave because of how cheated I feel. Now with all the SMG users running around all over and seeing the same 4 used by entire enemy teams, it just annoys me even more.
depends if im playing solo its maybe 5 games with a party maybe 10 games
A long time. I usually am fine. I know that it caters to noobs so I expect the BS. But also playing with someone or a party helps alot to take your mind off it. I know most of the ppl I play with would have gone to other games by now. But we have so much fun together that we always look to see if any of our "small clan" is on playing before we decide what disk gets loaded.
I agree with ya. The only reason I stick around is because a few friends that live about 300 miles away play. Only 4 of us, so we don't roll 6 when we play. We started out using mics, but got sick of having to talk to everyone else (I know you can mute, but pretty sure they can still hear you). I wish PS3 had a feature like xbox where you could just chat with your group. Either way, with friends, it's a little more bearable.
Yeah, it feels stupid that everyone can hear you...makes it kind of pointless to try to strategize or warn people because everyone on the enemy team about can hear you doing it...
Most things I can tolerate except being host. I was host last night and I was lagging big style don't know how everyone else's game was but mine sucked. At least treyarch give you benefits to being host, this game I get punished for it.
Mine just shot down because even though i live in the bloody uk i keep getting stuck with the french.. if i wanted to play with the sodding french i would a) move there or b) go through the cross channel tunnel and knock on some noobs door..
put me in a uk server ya useless ******* pile of ****
I live Ohio, so there's an ocean between us yet I still play with people from the UK. Nothing against you guys but I hate playing with you lol
Dude i ain't playin anymore...! Zero tolerance,Mw3 Sucks due Lag,situation got good ping (internet connection)but every time some sh*t players join Lobby with bad ping it,s a freakin Virus,Elite 50 euro, a contribution 2 a lye those people live a lye obvious,for all the million players out the chance of winning prizes...Dream on...!Some dude got 24 prizes very real of Elite that there,s no maximum off winning prizes so the best always win,and the rest can keep on trying,till they have a realistic view ....you have to change you're tactics or you just not that good enough.....!
I have the least amount of tolerance for mw3 verses any other game I play. My patience is so burned out with this game that upon 2 or 3 so called lag-deaths I insta-pull the game from my console and drop in any old gamer friendly game.
Fat fricken chance I will be purchasing into this franchise any further except perhaps a used version and under 10$.....I'll risk only that much, why pay 60$ for frustration.
I seem to suffer constantly every game there's bs so at the moment I get bored very quickly with this game,
If its a Friday night and I got mates round I stick it longer but do rage quit often, but it does seem the more u play the more you can put up with it and stop noticing to some degree,
But if I'm on my own I play solo and I always have so it's not that that gets to me, but shooting some one about 3ft infront of you in the face with a shot gun and only getting hit markers does my nut,
I just wish it didn't lag soooooo bad all other stuff I can put up with
