last night my party and I were being matched with people from AUSTRALIA!!!
we live in Indiana folks........this was just nomal game play on KC

Oh my various koopas, what have they done to the game with this patch? Connection has gone downhill and crazy!

What's their excuse going to be this time, "Please wait 48 hours for the patch to propagate"? Watch it be that same excuse once again, which also happens to make no difference anyhow.

If you are playing Black Ops on Xbox...you will be fine.  I'm honestly scared of the PS3 version though.  I can hope that the PS3 version is at least playable.  If not, I'll play zombies until they get that fixed.  And from the track record of Treyarch, it looks like i'll be playing zombies

I hope this is the proper place to give my 2 cents about the new patch. I didn't notice that much of an improvement in lag. But I did not play much domination before so I can't compare fairly but I did have lag in the game last night. Also I was kind of hoping you would fix the placement of players in lobbies from different regions. I live 30 miles from the Pacific ocean, now why am I constantly in lobbies with people from the east coast. Is it not possible for you to break down by region. No matter how hard you try to fix lag it will always be there with players from opposite coasts. I see a lot of people hammering you about fixing the lag so for a little resarch I went to other game forums and noticed that it is a complaint on other games too so it is not restricted to this game. I just believe the only solution is to break games down by region for those who would llike to play within their own region.

Look Infinity Ward I am not a complainer I can care less what you do to play lists adding new game modes or combining them I actually like that you are finally experimenting it's a great beneficial idea come up with some more game modes and see what you can achieve. But lag compensation is a huge problem you need to put the settings back to MW2 or something it needs to be fixed it takes forever to find a match and these matches are filled with locals but because of lag compensation it's terrible because of the lag they can have the slightest lag and it affects the game in all the wrong ways by putting laggy people 20 seconds ahead of everyone who has a good signal. Fix this go back and see what kind of tweaking created this problem. You need to prove to your fans and customers that you can fix problems. Also create some experimental maps as well as new game modes there is a lot you can do with the results it will benefit you though I can promise that. Also don't listen to the people who are complaining about Search and Destroy in Ground Wars they are just MOAB campers who hate having challenges I mean that is the only reason they complained about "overpowered" things.
