It has been a long time since I posted and even longer since I played. But, I do keep up the forums and when I saw that a syncing/lag comp TU had been released I decided to give it another go.  I was not sure whether the domination thing was true so I just erred on the side of caution and played 6 straight games of domination to be sure. I had to try really hard but I was able to play 6 straight games without quitting. So, first off lets go with the bad. The sync/lag comp issues are still in full force. I was using the mk14 to test this. I was constantly getting 3 to 4 hitmarks through the open air with a 60 damage gun. The same old tricks were at play as well. I would get several hit markers and then die instantly. My screen would not turn red, my gun would not flinch, nothing. Just phantom hitmarkers or sometimes non at all and then bam, insta death. So, I can say the patch again has done nothing for lag comp. But, there were several notable improvements. I noticed that I was very quickly getting into matches rather than have to wait for sometimes 80-120 seconds I joined games almost instantly. Also I, live in New Orleans so I noticed that peoples tags said "LSU," "NOLA," "504", etc. So, I was defintely getting matched with people in my area. And the seemingly best part of the patch was that in 6 full games I experienced 0 host migrations. I can honestly say that before this patch at minimum I would have to sit through at least 2 migrations a game but there were 0 yesterday. So all in all I guess I would consider the patch a success, but ultimately the game is still unplayable because I have to be forced to lose gun battles so people with crap internet will want to continue to play the game instead of getting railed on constantly.

IMO yes it is positive, we wouldn't even be here replying if they didn't release or communicate potential fixes for issues.

I'm just as p√ssed off about the gameplay situation as most people are and that's why I've been on this forum so much instead of playing the damn game.

Evening all,

I've not played much this past few weeks because it had become way to frustrating connection wise. 

I played a few games earlier this week and nothing seemed to have changed.  Still matched with people from 1000's miles away, still getting shot around corners, still insta-killed etc. 

I hopped onto these forums and noticed the imminent patch.  I was hopeful that this would impact the gameplay / matchmaking in a positive way.

After each game I've gone through the locations of players in the lobby.  I've had a few decent connections and they are solely in English/Welsh/Scottish lobbies.  The Irish occasionally adversely affect things but those effects are somewhat negligible.  It seems that as soon as any non-UK player - whether its 1 or 5 of them - completely destroys my chances of having a fair game.

I've tried playing with DLC on and off and this seems to make very little difference. 

So inconsistent as well.  One game you can kill a couple of people.  Next game you're cannon fodder for the whole oppsing team.

I hope that the propogation period is still ongoing because I've  noticed no positive change other than finding matches a little bit  quicker.

My friends list used to be full of people playing MW2 and Blops.  Now I'm lucky to see two people playing MW3.  Always the same two and they're the ones with the crappiest internet.  Says it all.

Is this the patch which Ghandi has been referring to?  Or is that still "in the works"?

Have any of the devs commented re: Black OpsII's lag compensation system? 

Will it be the same as this? 

Cheers,

Stu
