I can absolutely positively guarantee that a bad connection gives better hit detection

So woke up on Thursday to find my Internet had been cut off due to an unpaid bill, fortunately for me the office next door, through my bedroom wall and about 15 feet down had unsecured wi-fi access so yeah, I leeched them.
To even get a signal I had to find the hotspot on my floor against the wall to sit my xbox and it gave me between a 1 and 2 bar on network settings in the xbox options with strict NAT, I then put my laptop there, did a speedtest and got between 1 and 3mb speed and the laptop wifi signal was only 12mbps and said 1 bar weak connection.
Now I have never complained about lag because in all honesty I never knew any different, I thought lag was people teleporting etc. and yes that did happen from time to time on the weak connection but my hit detection was spot on, my k/d in those few days was possibly near the 2.2 mark when I'm a lowly 1.2 so get my net back on today, my really good connection or so I thought and damn is it frustrating, compared to the few days on the supposedly worse connection it felt like my bullets were not doing any damage and I have never swore and shouted to myself in a game ever, 1 hour I lasted and wish I had never even saw the other side, now its just going to drive me nuts.
If anyone reads this and disagrees like I used to just try out a weaker connection and you will see, it is so much better and even though I wont be leaching again because I know its wrong I actually feel like downgrading to a weaker connection, wont do it though because I like the fast DL speeds ands high quality streaming but can understand now why people would, anyway I now know what you complain about and I'm with you guys 100%, something has to be done about this and soon.
Regretablly... I cannot argue against what you are saying.
Be hard to find someone who could I reckon, maybe maccabi if his stance is different than mine, who knows.

Actually... I don't think he would.
That's why I refuse to get off of PS3 wireless even though my router is on the other side of a wall. I would agree with you but last night was terrible on PS3 for hit detection and OSB Syndrome (One second behind). It was running great for 2 weeks before last night. I just can't stand the unpredictability of the lag in this game. If it was a certain way all the time, you can adjust but when it constantly jumps around in quality, it can drive you insane!
Last night was awesome for me, came here gloating about a truly incredible session and possibly one of the best in years and that CoD Elite is amazing and all the rest of it, now I know where that saying comes from, you only sing when your winning...
Oh so true!!!!
Isnt piggybacking illegal?
I really do not know but with no protection its like going out at night and leaving your front door open with a big sign saying "I'm out, come on in" so yeah, I went in.
You should wrap up!
both are still illegal....
Well I'm pretty sure most people would have done the same but enough of that, that's a whole other story.
If you entered my house you would have been shoot...then the police would have been called...That's the way it works down here in Texas.
Texas, the coolest place in the states, would love to go there some time.
If you're ever around the Austin area let me know I'll take you shooting...
Haha awesome, if I ever do go and cod and the forums are still about I would honestly take you up on that offer, I'll bring my air rifle lol.
This RMO another post about seeding a small, popular torrent in order to slow your connection.
I couldn't even do that if I wanted to, my ISP throttles all my torrents between 6am and 1am, I'm what they call an extreme user, all gaming traffic and direct downloads are fine though.
I would definitely agree. I haven't tried it myself though. I've watched people on twitch playing MW3 and see them with just horrible connection speeds and it looks like a completely different game. The amount of damage they can take and the regularity of enemies not even getting shots off in head to head gunfights is ridiculous.
