yup everyone is having laggy games, don't know why though

its getting worse by the day ive just played a game on seatown where i put a full magazine from the ump into someones back which didnt kill them so i ducked round a corner behind some wooden crates and started to reload then dropped down dead but when i checked the killcam im standing there in the open not shooting while hes kills me

I've been having the same problems since release. I just wish they would acknowledge that there is a problem and fix it instead of blaming our isp's. It's not my ISP, every other game I play online works great. This is the only one that I'm having these issues with. Even the other COD games work fine.

I agree on all points.  There will never be a "perfect connection" scenario, but I believe it is map design that definitely makes the lag issues shine.  I honestly don't believe the hit detection was much better in MW2 (and it was pretty solid in that game), but the maps were better designed.  You could take cover behind things, had sight lines, etc.  In MW3 to get you into the "fast paced gun on gun action" they designed small maps that are packed with tight corners.  This forces lag to shine.  You round a corner and the man with less ping wins every time.  It takes away from the pure "gun on gun" action that they have been claiming is the goal of MW3.  Even more frustrating is Bowling and his crew have gone MIA.  Haven't answered a real question about the game since launch.  Just seems like IW is still the IW that doesn't support their games post launch.  Really ruins what could be one of the best CODs yet
