I spent days playing MW2 and BO on DSL connection (5Mb/0.6 and 45ms ping) never even wondering what is lag and what causes it. My K/D ratios on these games averaged 1.8.

Then came MW3 and for some reasons I was just  walking dead meat for players with God like reflexes.

Switching to  diffrent ISP (cable 24Mb/2, 15ms ping ) did not help at all.

80% of the time, seeing an enemy means instant death. Only kill cam can reveal missed 2 seceonds. I can still play BO and 90% of the time have great games. Going back to MW3 and it feels like I'm a turtle with a bb gun.

I never played on fiber optic myself but read lots of stories about how unfairly the hosting and lag compensation systems treat those players.

It's a broken game with broken support.

If i am using mine for a long time i use an external fan on mine,

i am sure there are some who have not done there best to check on there end, but i am sure there are many more that have.  i have fibre, it runs fine with all games except lag ops and this. being host in either game should be a crime. i am easy meat for the enemy.

i think and i maybe wrong but when it came out it was region locked, or it was for people over here, i think they knew there was a problem with the connections. it made no sence to limit who you could play with when it was never forced on us before.

just checked my speed and ping while writting this. 34/64 and ping to france which is about 2000 km from here grade A 39 ms ping  no packet loss and 1ms jitter.

now i only pay for 30/30 upload but for some reason i always get in the 60s for upload. not sure why but i am not going to complain over it lol

so if i dont suffer bad lag in any other game except lag ops and mw3 then it has to be the games.

but i do have to say lag ops plays fine when i am not host. but mw3 is just a joke when it comes to lag for me host is a death sentence and not host in the same game i can start great and then hit a brick wall. it is almost impossible to get a kill.for me the game is broken for me and has been since day 1.

do i hate the game no, i think they had some great ideas but they forgot the most important thing, which for me is multiplayer running smooth with as few as possible lag moments. i dont have the answer on how to fix it but i keep coming back in the hope it is fixed. and for the people coming back who have the same laggy games as me,

its because we love the cod series. and lets face it there is not much else out there in the fps type. bf3 yes good game hardly any lag but the gun sway is terrible and to be honest i cant think of any other game. although i am going to give farcry 3 a go.
