You can get dropped into a lobby which is 50ms or less (because the person who started the lobby was in that local vacinity for you) then get chosen as host and still have people who are red barring in the lobby BECAUSE they searched over the 150ms limiter and have found a high ping lobby. There is nothing you can do about that. It is like me trying to search for a lobby of ELITE objectives. Because I have no local lobbies in Australia I must search overseas to find one. The results is me having yellow and red bars. This is not the fault of the host, they couldn't do anything about it.

In the same way you can search for a lobby up to 150ms and also get host when dropped into those lobbies. and guess what, someone is going to have 150ms of ping. Suprise suprise...

I really need to know whether it's all in my head or if this game has a serious problem when hosting.

I don't think I'm a bad player but when I look at this over and over again, I just can't explain it. Sometimes I question how players are insta-killing me when I have to shoot more bullets to kill one player. Where's my "bloody red screen" that players seem to get when I shoot at them?

I'm using Quickdraw while using a Ballistic Vest and yet I get "outplayed" by two buffoons playing Ring a Ring o' Roses:

I don't get it to be honest. I watch other gameplays yet they seem to insta-kill whilst I have to work harder for my kills.

Nice to see they fixed those issues but did they do anything like work on network code for matchmaking and sync issues?? I wonder if the issues we all experience is even a network issue at all.. We will never know..

From what I saw in the video, it looks like you just got outplayed. You started shooting and although you hit a few shots, most of the time your aim was off. And you did actually did get a bloody screen, it just ended very quickly due to the guy shooting you with an L118. The other guy with the AR shot you just enough to nullify the ballistic vest, which allowed the L118 guy to kill you with one shot. Sorry vims.

In case y'all haven't heard it yet. They announced that by pre-ordering Black Ops 2 players will get the MP map "Nuketown 2025" for free.

 

Before anybody goes "Whooooo, we get a new Nuketown map" please take a moment and think about it. Apart from being a well planned marketing move (everybody loved Nuketown and nobody want's to wait for that or buy it seperate so they a lot of stupid gamers buy the game before they reckongnize what crap we delivered this time) it clearly shows that the franchise as a whole isn't capable of learning from previous mistakes.

 

What MW3 clearly shows us every single day (since 7 months so far) ist that fragmenting the playerbase with uncountable modes and maps is going to wreck the quality of the game. So yes, I can understand they like to feel safe on the financial side of things but this sends out the wrong sings to the beaten community.

You make an interesting point in that the playerbase will be fractured from day 1 because of that. Maybe they'll have a new system worked out by then that will lower the amount of fracturing due to DLC. I know that Halo Reach did that by allowing everyone to matchmake with each other, while having DLC maps as voting options if everyone in the lobby had the maps. The only downside to this was that DLC came up as an option with low regularity, but since there was a DLC only playlist it wasn't too big of a deal for me.
