They should have just left the matchmaking the same as MW2 and binned the idea of lag comp, thats what has turned the online play into a clusterfcuk

What's with the "removing lag compensation"???  If they do that the game will be totally unplayable.  LC is a necessity in any FPS online game.  The problem is how it has been set up.  BO2 will have LC, we just have to hope it works better than in MW3.  Judging by BO though, I'm not holding my breath.

It's no compensation, but I was speaking to friend today who plays on XBox and he said it was just as bad on there as on the PS3.

I don't disagree with that, but you can't remove LC.  You have to remember the team who put MW2 together is different to those working on the games now.  Sadly for us, the current team don't seem as good.

That's very true. All games must have some sort of LAG comp. IMO, they may have coded it into the system wrong and it seems that it's not flexible enough to alter easily. That would make the most sense if they are actually trying to fix it. Only guessing though....
