FORUMS_

Yep, and don't forget Elite.

I don't see this being all that laggy..

The game has always had numerous playlists and provided the player base stays as large as it has always been there will be very few issues.

As far as streaming goes that is merely down to your upload speed. Having a whole lobby full of streamers is not going to introduce added lag. What may introduce it is if the matchmaking chooses a host that is streaming but does not have the upload speed to host as well, but if Treyarch get this right it will be a none issue as they just won't be chosen.

To stream you need about 1-2Mb/s upload speed and to host you need about the same. So many players these days will be able to do one or the other. There will of course be some that can do both very easily like those on 50Mb/s down 5Mb/s up deals. Hell those in the UK are even better off as the leading broadband providers Virgin and BT offer 100Mb/s down and 10Mb/s up deals. I'm not sure it'll be a huge issue.

I think matchmaking may make a few mistakes and select someone streaming that can't handle hosting as well, but it will probably be a rare occurance just like when matchmaking these days selects a player that can't even support hosting a game. I wouldn't worry too much about it though.

Nope.

Blops1 had the bullet delay but wasn't to bad besides that.

MW3 was terrible, I don't see anything passing that game in how bad the connection is to be honest.

It may have issues, but what game doesn't?

No, I am staying positive. Don't drag us down with these unsubstantiated worries. I am excited for the new game and have faith that the devs will give us the best game they can. I've never let connection issues ruin my fun, and am not about to start now.

Lets discuss this after release if it becomes an issue.

You're all forgetting lag compensation problems existed in Black Ops.  Treyarch vehemently denied that these problems existed.  Not until MW3 had these problems been admitted and addressed.

The ppl behind BO2 are the same people as before.  Definitely worried that if lag comp still exists, it will not be dealt with.

i wasnt to bothered about it until i played black ops the other day and like you have just pointed out the lag as terrible and the hit detection is a joke it got alot worse when i was host i just hope they fix this host advantage/disavantage before the game is released

The funny thing is, I would be willing to bet that a high % of tweets that came into the "Ask vahn a question" thing were about connection issues.  They are refusing to discuss it.

So am I worried?  Hell yes I'm worried, to the point that I will most likely pass on pre-ordering the game until we have some intel on this.

I understand alot of the people that are not worried about the lag, but if you think back to the release of almost every COD, lag has always been the main issue. BO1 was borderline unplayable for the first month until they patched the game.

This is not negativity, its history. I am not saying that the game is going to be horrible or anything of the sort, I am just saying that the game is going to be bad@$$ or broken based on the lag comp / connection issues.

From that perspective, I hope that they start discussing how they are going to tackle those issues so that history does not repeat itself.

I've got this weird scenario. Hit detection sucks on my Xbox on back ops but it's fine on my ps3 with Black ops. Hit detection is perfect on my Xbox with mw3 and I don't have mw3 on my ps3.

Yes actually i am afraid it will completely break the game actually
