I'Il pass this along to QA to verify.

So ghandi throttling effects the whole lobby right? And its hard to tell who is throttling because its not just people who are 2bar, it could be anyone 3 or 4bar. I barely pull host but i usually have 4bar most games, and i notice the issues talked about on this forum alot, instant death, bullets not registering, bullets flying round corners but what is weird is that im not host. I dont know if its because i play ground war only but the game plays horribly for me, some games bullets register perfectly but majority it takes me half clip to kill someone, and if i try to rush with smg i have no chance as it takes me way too much ammo to kill people with smg which is weird because i've seen people kill 3-4 bullets using MP7 whereas when i use MP7 i just get hitmarkers galore

vims old buddy, to save me the cost of an air ticket to hobbitland, go slap yourself and pretend its me, pretty sure i told you to do this a good few months ago .

 

Btw for everyone else that guy in the video vims posted is NOT lowering his "speed" its bandwidth just want to clarify that , whats most likely happening is he's just eliminated himself from the host selection pool as his upload speed is too low.

 

and before ghandi comes on here waving the wah everyones throttling their connections its bad for the game one word ...piffle a 1.5 upload is way more upload bandwidth than you need to PLAY the game, hosting not so much but then hey who wants to be host right

Client payload is intentionally small. The issue with people throttling their connections is not one of bandwidth but induced latency either through router packet throttling or PDV from other means. This affects all opponents in the game.

 

How prevalent this practice is now I can only guess.

Well I don't do anything to my connection other than to limit the download to 3 and upload to 1.5, I do not do anything to increase latency or mes with packets. The game plays a ton better just with that. Why should my connection speed matter then?

You'll forgive me please if I don't go into too much detail on this topic for obvious reasons.

Depending upon the method employed throttling can affect the game experience for all if the person throttling is the host. Throttling does not guarantee non selection as host. It can also influence the fairness of encounters between opponents.

You are correct in your assumption that any barred player can be throttling.

If you guys didn’t have a flawed compensation system and if you didn’t make hosting have all the issues said and done a billion times, I guess I a lot of other people (let's say most) would have never touched their router, like I never did with mw2, black ops and waw. SINCE I HAD NO REASON TO, well black ops did too but it was never this obvious while hosting, so I always had my ports in a dmz "host" setup for those games, something that feels like a death sentence on mw3 with a good upload speed.

This problem was created by you guys. A problem that you can fix by first making hosting feel like hosting again with the highest package size, no retarded amount stuttering, no over the top lag compensation / artificial lag & the insta-kill function people get on you. Make it feel like I’m in sync of the game I’m so said hosting, make it an actually 4 bar experience. There, more and more people go back to what should be their optimal network settings for online gaming.

More quality hosts, also means more lobbies with mainly 4 bar player ping players.
