Call of Duty: Black Ops II

3 minutes was enough to see if you are getting no hit markers then you clearly have connection issues. I don't need a video to tell me that, why would you?

Unless you are trying to say no hit markers is completely normal? In all the complaints on here I have yet to see anyone complain about that.

Watch the video, then you can comment on it. It really is very simple.
 
Yep its everyone's connection and not the game.... (Vonderhaar is that you?!)

If you watch later on he shows getting sniped about 2 seconds after running behind a wall. The sniper is completely out of view at the time. This is lag compensation.

I can kind of see what our friend Mr Grumpy is getting at here. Getting shot round corners happens in BF3 as well, and it happens simply because the game uses client side hit detection. The sniper sees him on his screen, shoots, and hits him and gets the kill. From his POV, everything is fine. But from the POV of the guy who shot the video, it isn't because he had moved out of cover.

The issue here is not that he got shot round the corner, but how long after he moved he got shot. The sniper is severely behind in the servers time frame, such that he can get credit for a kill on a guy that moved ages ago. When we feel like everybody else is ahead, the actual problem is that we are in fact behind and seeing the player come round the corner on our screen too late to react.

The act of compensation is not the problem, its how far behind players get in the game which causes problems. When you're complaining that everybody else is ahead of you, the guys who you do kill are almost certainly being shot round corners, but you can't see it. The issue is how those players get so far behind when they have decent connections that causes this BS.

Watched about 3 mins of video before being bored, the examples in that time the guy was shooting and got no hit markers at all then got killed, suggests he has a problem with his connection and not the game to me.

How can he be pinging the host?

Watch the video from about 15 minutes in.
 
Unfortunately this is THE worse COD game to be released in terms of lag compensation. Just played one game and cannot count the occasions where I'm shooting a guy at point blank range to get zero hit markers for them to insta kill me. Yet i go back to MW3 and I'm top of the leader board.

It also feels sluggish too, like when it comes to movement and aiming vs mw3. I up the sensitivity and it seems to go from sluggish to insane - there's no inbetween.

No way am I purchasing DLC for this, or even considering it until these problems get fixed. I thought Treyarch were supposed to provide legendary support over IW?
 
What? I watched about 3 mins and commented on those 3 minutes, whats your problem with that now.

Are you saying no hit markers is normal?

Watch the video, then you can comment, jesus. It is not a difficult concept, if you can't grasp that I am done with you.

Treyarch were very good with Blops1 (had no experience of WaW, so can't comment). I think hActivision decided that it costs too much to actually support their game though and put a stop to it. Makes it easier to provide less support on upcoming titles too, as we all just see the problems as normal. Most gamers have short memories I am afraid!

From what they make in sales on the game, I would think they'd have enough in their budget to fix issues. I don't think they want to, its a thankless task because where you have lag compensation, someone always loses.

If the same amount of people were playing MW3 right now, it would be interesting to see if that played as well as it does now, or whether it would be the same situation. Is it purely quality of code, or does it just not work if a certain number of people are online?
 
When you prestige you get a choice of 3 rewards. These you have to choose before you can proceed. You can

B) refund of tokens. This is a reward that can be claimed at any point throughout your prestige and refunds all your tokens and locks everything back again. This then leaves you free to change what you have unlocked - good if you arent sure what weapons / items you like yet. This is best not to be used at the start of your prestige and instead should be used halfway through once you have tokens to be refunded.

I've ballsed it up then I chose b last night. So now I have no chance of using the An94 from the start of the prestige?

Tbh I found the whole descriptions a bit **** at the time.
 
I commented on what I watched, not sure why you find that a problem.

I watched 3mins of the first Harry Potter film. So I *know* the whole film is about a trip to the zoo. All the talk of Hogwarts and Voldemort are just lies.

I never commented on it all I commented on what I watched, really not hard to understand is it? No idea why you are seeking to make an issue out of it.

The stats reset/keep unlock tokens/extra custom class is separate.

Think you have the option to push a button (perhaps RB?) on an item to unlock it for ever. I cant quite remember without looking.
 
OMG, some ppl on here are just not worthy of wasting breath on.

Watch the WHOLE VIDEO and then comment.

He clearly shows he has no connection issues (sub 55ms pings to the host) and he clearly has on screen issues.

Now either his opponents have 0ms pings to the servers everytime giving about 4 frames advantage on him (still doesn't explain the video shots) or something is very wrong.

Instead of making things up, this guys seems knowledgeable and at least put some science behind his video to show the issue to the developers.

The problem with some people here is that they are bored too quickly or unwilling to listen and learn. Probably the people BO2 was aimed at with the gun and run.

Yes you do

Have you unlocked create a class yet ?

The option to permanently unlock a weapon / perk item is in addition to the 3 rewards.

You can use Right shoulder to permanently unlock an item such as ghost or the AN94 once you unlock create a class.

What you mean is you watched the 3 minute that proved your point that all of the internet is delued and wrong and we're all just poor at the game.

And then ignored the rest of the video that shows actually we're not all mad.

But hey, the 3 minutes you saw proves your point, so that's all that matters right ?

Clearly he has major connection issues no matter the ping which is not the be all and end all for a good connection.

Maybe you should educate the many on here who do not understand what lag compensation is firstly.
 
I don't think the science of his video evidence is that great. A rushing player will have an advantage of full round trip time in his pocket over someone waiting static with a lowish ping.

No, I said in the 3 minutes I watched its clear he has major connection issues with the host, not sure why you feel the need to take that and give it arms and legs to something I never said.

I am sure we all know how lag comp works (as far as we know without seeing the code) and I will not rattle that can again. If not, read this thread :) or the 1st 3 lines will do :) lol

The issue is that all the PR that comes from the developer is your connection is the problem, check routers etc. What this guy shows is what we all know but without proof. At least he has gone to the effort of showing this to everyone. As to what good it will do, probably nothing.
