Hopefully the reason things are so bad right now is because theyre testing things on their end. Also lets all pray this type of lag comp isnt implimented into any other cod again ever haha

Ok, next question, Is the lag due to the the software outstripping the hardware?  Or in other words, is it time for an xbox 720, or whatever the next gen will be?  I am just looking for reasons why this game does not work...is there too much going on for the current hardware to track?

      I"ve stated many times that I believe this to be at least part of the isse, but people usually respond that its nonsense.

      But if you dont think its the case, just try some local split screen. Black ops lagged in local split screen and MW3 lags for me in ocal split screen. If the console lags for hosting 2 people then surely hostiong 8-12 player games is sure to be pushing things.

     peopel say that the consoles are " ahead of their time" and how th ps3 is supposed to be good for several years yet. But c'mon, what electronic device has anyone bought that isnt oudated after a year ... mucj less 8 or 10.    The instant a product comes out, software developers start figuring out how to make use of every bit of hardware resources available to wow everyone with their product.

I had to rage shut down the game and take a break right now because I'm a FULL SECOND behind what the enemy sees.

I stand behind cover.
Three enemies enter my sight.
I blaze away.
I die instantly, never having fired a single shot.

On the killcam, the guy who singlehandedly took me down SPRINTED, AIMED DOWN THE SIGHTS WITH ASSASSIN PRO and KILLED ME with 5 rounds fired.

My reaction time is not slow.
I run the game at 720p to minimize input lag on my TV if any, and run the game in the TV's Game Mode.
Yet people have time to STOP sprinting (0.4 seconds)
AIM down the sights (0.3 seconds)
Fire 5 rounds (0.35 seconds)

BEFORE I have the time to even get a single shot fired on the host.

I only win a firefight when I shoot someone in the back, catch them completely off guard.
It's so annoying.

Three days ago, I started using the MSR and got a 57% accuracy with it and an instant 1.5 KD.

Today I started using the L118A, and I can't get a 20% accuracy and can't get a 1.0 KD ratio.
Then I went back to my Mk14, and can't get a 1.0 KD ratio with that either.

And that is it.

I can't accept playing a game where I have good connection and SUFFER UNBEARABLE LAG because of it.

HOW can the delay be that great, and HOW can it be in someone's favor??!?!

I run quickdraw SPECIFICALLY becaues it gives me a great advantage against SPECIFICALLY assassins in face to face encounters -- yet all day today they aim faster and one hit kill me, the host often not even accepting that I fired a single shot.

In theater mode, admittedly -- they often hit me twice -- but NEVER thrice unless they hip-fire from miles away.

The problem was greatest with the L118A.
I use quickdraw, giving me a ADS time of 0.20 seconds.
I should aim faster than any AR-user who's not using quickdraw, and just as fast as any SMG-user without quickdraw.

What's been everyone's experience like since the matchmaking update?

I appeared to have been positively impacted, several days of great games. A few BS moments here and there, but nothing like before. It seemed pretty consistent match to match, day to day. Whereas before, I never knew what it would be like no matter what time of day.

Then tonight happens and its back to square one. Same ole BS only over and over again, lobby after lobby after lobby. Apparently beasted by scrubs going 15-25, yet to me its like going against SandyRavage.

Something is wrong when you are the one ADS at a corner and you get beaten by someone who has time to stop RUNNING, raise their weapon and drop you. Or you are using Quickdraw and get beaten in a straight up surprise gunfight by someone with Assassin.

<sigh>
