Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

I believe it's the lag comp. It's caused issues in the past few COD releases. I even remember it getting a tweak on MW3 and it improved it LOADS then they tweaked it again and it went **** up.

The lag comp tries to help people with bad connections but they just can't get it right. They need to go back to the old MW2 way and just pick the guy with the best connection for host and if you live in a remote area in Romania and have a crap connection it's tough ****.

I feel its that, plus the ancient engine being unable to cope with all the extra stuff they've put in it.
 
Anyone had the game crash out on them on XBONE to send you back to dash? It just happened for me on a 2hr + Exo survival game :-( I had looped 3 times and was on course for a 4th.

Also - anyone know if I can look at my stats online somewhere like I could on BLOPS2. k/d ratio, number of kills etc.

But i have a 1.51 KD with loads of kills (im almost prestige 2)which means im by no means struggling to go positive and kill and i have a 150mb broadband? I have suffered badly in MW3 and at the start of BO2, much more so than currently on AW. However the last 2 days i've noticed more rubber banding/sponging and just BS whilst a lot of the time scraping even. If it was lag comp, it surely would have been the same from the start right?

Just completed the single player. One of the best single player fps campaigns I have played in a long time. Shame there was not a bit more depth to the main characters.

Tried mp again. Was just one huge lagfest and rubber banding for most of the games....

No, you don't suffer with it every game. It depends on who you are against and how their connections are. I have a K/D of 1.8 but I have plenty of games where bullets don't register and people are sponges. Lag comp doesn't mean you will struggle to kill everybody in a game, it affects people individually and you might connect better to some people on the opposing team than others. It's all down to how certain people are being compensated.
 
I have got 70/20 MB connection and for me cod aw is a lag fest literally at the moment. Reminds me of blops2 at launch.

Yeah it would be, your hits won't get registered or will be compensated for, while the guy cheaping it out on 512mb internet and a wireless g router will be getting all the kills. That's how lag comp works. It's a terrible idea and i say screw the guy that has a rubbish internet connection. If he's having a bad time he can sort his connection out, why should everyone else have a bad time because he's unwilling/unable to get a better connection?
 
On Virgin Media 152Mb here and lagging and rubber-banding around all over the shop. This lag compensation is an utter joke.
 
Right so i've got friends round, we're playing this. I gave them my pad, and immediately both said my game feels different to theirs... Something do with movement there's the slightest delay when aiming, think this is my Internet? Mine is better then my friends though..
 
It is the connection that makes the difference, unfortunately the worse your connection the bigger advantage you seem to get. I know this for a fact since I played a fair bit of MW3/Black Ops 2 a few months back while I was switching from 40/10 Fibre > ADSL > 80/20 Fibre since there was no direct fibre migration path for me at the time.

While on ADSL I had a 2mb downstream with around a 40-60ms ping and I was untouchable to the point I could run into a room and hip fire every single person down before they even reacted to me being there and this went on for the entire week and half I was on ADSL.

I've not played any other releases after Black Ops 2 but I can't see it being any different and by the sounds of it, it isn't.

Sod that you get people having crazy host advantage every game because they have 100mb connections. They need dedicated servers and better net code. They should give respawn as much money as they want to make one. Titanfall has no lag issues.

So you'd rather have 11 other people get lag compensated and your bullets not register over just one guy getting host advantage?

We'd all rather have dedicated servers but we know we'll never get them.
