JD's reply to the Lag issues on Bops he basically says it's down to our crappy hardware.

Thread got locked Treyarch are ignoring it from now on, so much for them and the crappy broken game they released (look at the PS3 version and the PC version), yes it has the best gunplay balance in any cod bar 1 and 2, but the engine and maps are a joke.

If it was a bug in the game then I would have it too. I don't. That suggests the issue is at the user's end.

GREAT game otherwise.

Not so much a problem if you don't push to the back of either house if you play as a team and lock down the bus/lorry area you will win easily.

True. However I was just in a pickup game with randoms and it was a complete free for all in the gardens with enemies spawning next to each other - and then everyone getting turned into Pedigree Chum when the chopper gunners came in.

It must be at my end then let me check - Xbox in DMZ via wired connection so no ports to worry about, ADSL connection changed to Fast Path so no hold up at DSLAM, Exchange - yep can see it out of my window, Connection rock solid 7.5 Mbps up and .42Mbps down, ping to range of servers between 25ms>35ms. Yep got to be my connection. :p

It's lag compensation in the game everyone has it and it works differently for everyone. It seems to be better than it was especially when searching for non local games, unfortunately when I play with some people on my FL I repeatedly can not kill anybody, then when I play on my own everyone dies. So work that out. I have 6 days on this game and around 50 on MW2 and I never seems to get this problem on MW2.

Oh and frame lag whats up with that??? anyone else get that when the game seems to stutter.

I had a rage infested game last night, domination and it was a really close stressful game because none of my team were doing anything, I ended up with 9 captures and 7 defends whilst they were trying to kill farm badly!

GO PLAY DEATHMATCH YOU *******

why i only play with clan mates now :(
 
Ping to server means nothing really though as they are not servers of the game, so pleb 1 down the road with his 500ms ping back to the game host can screw it for everyone as its obvious even the host gets some sort of throttling applied. In such a situation its not the end users fault.

I understand that but the game seems to add some penalty to players that have a good ping to host but that penalty seems not quite right, unfortunately even pleb 1 down the road with a 500ms ping as you said makes the game a pita for everyone else.

I understand JD's response as he is probably quite right in saying it's hardware related to some extent as pleb's HW connection is the fault and the game is compensating as it's been programmed to do to all other connections to host. hence playing the lag compensation instead of skill. I love going up against US players that pull host because it works in your favour most of the time crisp hit detection a couple of bullets to drop it really is strange.

But hey everyone is playing it so what else we gonna do, I just carry on and leave stupid games now as does almost everyone I play with.

Anyway anyone seen this

I had two people in a lobby last night on the pirate one with pink clan tags. If thats only level 8 then they were hacking something, although the 393 kill streak kinda suggested that anyway :D

:) That is the Wii prestige set up which is different to all other versions of the game 8th Prestige on that is 15th on all other platforms. God knows why they changed it.

I've got 10 down and 1 up. I get put as host and end up suffering. Luckily some decent games are coming out at the end of this month and next month so i'll be done with this game.
