The graphics are decent. IMO not as polished as MW3. Loads of campers already, they have ruined modes like domo and now they have more camping spots overlooking the flags it's even better for them.

The lag comp seems to be at it's worst when i'm host. I think it's time Activision gave us dedicated servers, they've made enough money off us.

Are you with Virgin Media for your ISP? I absolutely hated playing MW3/Black Ops with host. And with me having 100mbit and 10 up you can imagine how many times I get host... pretty much every game.

It seems nowadays the people that have the better connection has even more of a say so rather than actual player skill. Not sure to go ahead with my pre-order after reading this now.

It's funny how Soulja says this isn't good but I haven't really had any problems. Apart from the 1 game played with him where I got raped. I'm no good at objective games!
I've just been playing TDM and KC. I've had a few games where i've struggled to get kills but for the most part it's been fine. I even got picked as host 1 game - no idea why as my connection is rubbish - and I didn't feel that I getting screwed.
I'm not making any solid judgements til the game is out properly. Can't really judge a game when they player base is low.
My favourite gun so far is the SWAT. It's a 3 round burst gun and kills in 1 burst most of the time.
My no.1 problem is the UAV's and me being the only person shooting them down!

The people I play with and even randoms are saying the same as me. The lag comp is quite bad, especially for the people with good connections, but the what I hate the most is the layout of the maps. It's killed objective based modes.

I'm with BT. 80 down 20 up. When I'm not host I find the lag compensation better but I seem to get host most of the time. :(

Host is a weird one, in Black Ops I had Virgin 15mb (wired) and would pull host over anyone regardless of their connection.

Was it the other night I got it Konvict and hes on 100mb? I'm still on 30mb.
 
If its tesco I have a screen grab at work stating that all preorders will be delivered on day of release not date stated on the checkout. I will be unhappy if it doesn't arrive. And I also had the cash taken from my account the day I placed the order.

My ping is around 30-40 which nowadays isn't considered low I don't think?

I still pull host over anyone.

No, not really but I'm positive it has something to do with the your upload speed.

I normally ping 20-25ms to most servers and usually get host everytime. You have to remember that for the majority of people that play CoD online on console are using absolutely horrendous internet connections.

Whilst we maybe lucky having fibre optic connections, I don't think that we should be disadvantaged in the way that we are.
 
Host on Black Ops 1 was surely a huge advantage bar the lag when people leave/join on Groundwar?

My upload is 1.5 for what it's worth.
 
My upload is 0.7mb! Yeah suck it! :p
Oh,and I had somebody from Japan in a game with me yesterday :eek:

And the PS3 version gets an optional,installable 1.8gb HD texture pack according to this

Neither should you have an advantage. This comes up every year, people are just comparing it to the starting point. COD4 and MW1 where you did have an advantage. It could be the most balanced system ever designed, where it perfectly balanced every player in the lobby to an equal connection and still people would spend the next 12 months crying over being robbed.

Even when I play Blops on combat training I get issues where I'm shooting first and still die, that if I was playing online would make me think I was done by my connection or their advantage.
