I confirm... La-a-a-a-a-a-a-g is worst and worst...

I live in the middle of France and this stupid host systems gives me the host connexion all the time (it seems its not the highest connexion that is chosen but the geographical situation) so many times i just have to quit because i can't play with a more than 1 second lag between what's on my screen and the killcam...

It's worst when we try to play with my team, i have to rage quit and if i try to join the host is always me, got 1 bar connexion always in red...

How to play like this ???

How to have fun ???

This games turns me mad !

I just want a button to simply refuse being the host !

no and it never will be

COD,

I have copied and pasted a portion of an article on latency: or Lag as we know it. Read on.

"Client and server hitboxes don't exactly match because of small precision errors in time measurement. Even a small difference of a few milliseconds can cause an error of several inches for fast-moving objects. Multiplayer hit detection is not pixel perfect and has known precision limitations based on the tickrate and the speed of moving objects. Increasing the tickrate does improve the precision of hit detection, but also requires more CPU, memory, and bandwidth capacity for server and clients.

The question arises, why is hit detection so complicated on the server? Doing the back tracking of player positions and dealing with precision errors while hit detection could be done client-side way easier and with pixel precision. The client would just tell the server with a "hit" message what player has been hit and where. We can't allow that simply because a game server can't trust the clients on such important decisions. Even if the client is "clean" and protected by Valve Anti-Cheat, the packets could be still modified on a 3rd machine while routed to the game server. These "cheat proxies" could inject "hit" messages into the network packet without being detected by VAC (a "man-in-the-middle" attack).

Network latencies and lag compensation can create paradoxes that seem illogical compared to the real world. For example, you can be hit by an attacker you can't even see anymore because you already took cover. What happened is that the server moved your player hitboxes back in time, where you were still exposed to your attacker. This inconsistency problem can't be solved in general because of the relatively slow packet speeds. In the real world, you don't notice this problem because light (the packets) travels so fast and you and everybody around you sees the same world as it is right now."
