The only time player stats come into play is after the lobby is created. After the lobby is created, then the teams are weighted by player stats.

they had country lock on when the game launched to help keep the servers from dropping a deuce on everybody. since psn maintenance march 9th i cant get into a game under 150ms. also have an above average premium connection. i have noticed when i prestige i usually end up with lobbies full of scrubs. my k/d is upper end of 1.5ish if that means anything. does anybody have a link to i.w. saying how matchmaking works?

That would be cool, but unfortuanely some people would never find lobbies (at least at certain times of the day).  That would cause some people to not buy (or return) the game which would cause a drop in sales.

I know this because for some reason I cannot explain... I am one of those people.

People screwing around with their MTU has insane affect in lag compensation. MTU detetmines the amount of info you can send and receive from each other across the net. MTU is typically set to 1500 by default but if you change it to say 1152 in your end then it will take 2-4 commands (such as I'm here, I'm aiming, hit marker, hit marker) to fill up the packet before your internet provider passes it on to the host player. Also lag compensation will exaggerate this even more since it will misintepret your bandwidth and slow down all the other players this will change the timestamps on all the other players packets and in this scenario cause insta-deaths or insta-kills.

Example:

player Xxx

pack 1 time 500ms MTU 1152

show position + ads lock

pack 2 time 700ms MTU 1152

fire + fire + fire

isp combines pack 1 2

new pack 1500 goes stamped 500ms

position + ads lock + fire + fire + fire

Player 2

pack 1 time 500ms MTU 1500

position + ads lock + fire + fire

pack 2 time 700ms MTU 1500

fire + fire + fire + fire

sent asis

host receives both

player 2 gets +200ms from lag compensation

since player 1 is slow

player 2 fired first but was already dead at 500ms

packet is cancelled host will ignore it

player 1 is timestamped 500ms

3 hits kill player 2 says host

result player 2 is insta-killed

no bullets will be fired from player 2 in replay

packet cancelled by host by lag comp

I set my MTU to 1308 and watched my K/D change from .33 to 2.0 then 6.0 in just 1 night then I moved to BF3 which is even worse in case you were wondering, 1152 is the MTU for BF3... there is no skill or fun in thesr games at all anymore now that I realize lag conpensation is the only thing that detetmines whether you win or lose.

yeah hopefully with black ops2 they get away from screwing us that have good connections.i get so tired of getting host and getting screwed.why should we be punished for have better internet speed than some hic with dsl.
