Survey On Lag

Posted by CappyRapanacker on Nov 20, 2012 10:40 AM

I've been wondering for a good deal of time about the amount of lag people consider too much

 

          So, I ask all of you,

 

How much lag do you consider too much?

 

How much lag have you been experiencing, on average, in Black Ops 2 so far?

    How can you measure lag?

     

    I have had the occasional bit of lag in BO2, but it's been great for the most part. Probably the best in any CoD game.

    Lag in Black Ops 1 was and still is terrible. Lag in MW3 is almost as bad. I don't get much fun in those 2 games.

    It wasn't too bad in CoD4, W@W, or MW2, and those games were fun.

    Mostly it's the evil sutle lag that I and my friends have been experiencing. There are the games where you glitch around the map but other COD's had that. It's the gun fights you lose when you get off a round first etc. Makes it all the more frustrating. 4 Bar means nothing in this game.

    At a full second you are pretty much toast.  At a 1/2 second you can generally manage it so long as you stay away from CQC and/or flank relentlessly.  You won't be setting any records but you should be able to pull even or maybe a little better.  So far in BO2 I've mostly felt like the lag was bareable and generally a big improvement over MW3.  So long as I'm matched to someone on my continent, I tend to do pretty good but if I'm matched with folks from 1/2 way around the world the lag does become an issue.

    half second is more than enough time to kill someone. Since 1.03 i've been consistantly quarter to a half second behind everyone. Seeing how this game is made to be a run and gun CQC shooter, it's a pretty significant disadvantage. Previous to the patch I would have lag now and then and may have even had a advantage from time to time too. Everyone I play with and everyone I have talked to around my area that play on PS3 have all said they are experiecing consistant lag.

    All lag from BO, MW3, and BO2 is too much. COD4, W@W, and MW2 ran much more smoothly.

    Very smooth for me with above average hit detection, but I always get owned by instantaneous deaths and magic bullets

    Quoted for truth. This is the same exact problem I'm having in this game, the same issue existed in MW3 and the devs admitted that it's because of the broken lag compensation.

     

    My bullets just don't kill and I constantly get instakilled, because the game's netcode puts me at a constant disadvantage due to my low latency connection. It's the worst when I'm hosting.

    I'm the same. id like to first say i have 100mb download and 10mb upload-generally its at 80up 9down.very low latency. So ine would think that id have a grwat cod experience but no! Since 1.03 they seem to have implemented the ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL lag compensation that mw3 had. I played that game for 3weeks and couldn't take it anymore. I went back to it in August and it was marginally better but even IW admitted that the net code was poor. It's not their fault it's Demonware's. they're matchmaking and lag compensation ruined that last mediocre cod but this time Treyarch really stepped up to the plate and I was really enjoying it until they reintroduced this bullshit. I empty an entire clip into guys an they shrug it off an I die. Why bother playing a game when il at such a disadvantage. When will they just stop being so tight and introduce dedis(I actually don't want to be told how that wouldn't be a fix all-nothing would be, it's the Internet...but it'd be a damn sight better than this crap)
