COD4 MP Live arranging thread

I am pinging random servers all over the world, to the UKand Europe i get <20ms, US anything between 100 - 300.

this would explain a lot, why we get caned when the host is in the US
 
Yep, if you think, every american will have a low ping when connected to a US host.

Edit: removed baiting

if by auto aim you mean the weapon - enemy tracking you get then thats not technically auto aim, thats tracking.

Once you start firing the tracking stops, auto aim would mean that once you press thr trigger the weapon contines to track the enemy

The weapon never stops tracking, and it is automatic aiming but if you want to be pedantic I suppose you could call is augmented aiming.

Setup a split screen game and slowly strafe past your opponent. Your character will have turned 45 degrees because of the auto aim.

Everyone has this though so it's not like it matters and it's vital for joypad FPS games to work. As a by product lag doesn't matter as much as on PC games.

Lag is more of any effect than 'auto-aim'

I dont care what my gun is doing if my Xbox tells me Im shooting him but the Host's Xbox thinks I'm missing

Sure, when the ping gets about 200ms that starts to come into effect in every type of game, but CSS or quake3 suffers above 50ms while the auto aim in console shooters means 100-150ms can still feel incredibly responsive.

You're talking about extreme pings, while I'm not.

You concede that there is a lot of auto aim in multiplayer then?

There is player tracking, nothing like the Auto aim you get in single player though, just zoom down the sights and you automatically aim in on the enemys head.

Im not talking about aim. I can be killed by someone with one bullet on my screen. The killcam then shows them firing loads into me before I die.

It can just be an aiming issue, unless my aim goes to crap due to hearing an Americans voice, maybe thats why. I start shaking with rage

I think the auto aim in single player you refer to is the "snap aiming" feature, not the auto aim that's present in Gow, Halo 3 etc that I'm referring to.

"aim assistance" is probably a better word to describe it as people can get confused about the definition of "auto aim" and mix it with terms like "aim bot".

The issues you speak of are from very high latency situations (150ms+) and I've experienced it numerous times. I simply mean to state that for lowish pings the console system is more robust than the pin sharp PC fps gaming.

I believe it's actually caused by packet burst issues where the packets (can substitute this word for bullets) get queued up in the network then arrive in a burst where the game needs to catch up quickly so makes all the calculations at once. Unfortunately there isn't really a way to stop that happening with the UKs contention ratios on networks and the packet switching/time share technologies we use.

Yeah like Bond on the N64. Its a definition of something though so people will always have different interpretations. As far as im aware nothing is going on when you are pressing LT and the tracking feature doesnt really influence your vertical aim.

I guess this auto aim is just you missing people Kreee? :P

No, it helps aim not hinders it =/

Load up a split screen game and strafe slowly passed the enemy. You will turn 45 degrees automatically as the game aims a lot for you. It has nothing to do with the left trigger and happens whether aiming down the sights or not. It also has a vertical effect and is why jumping with shotguns around corners works well with high sensitivity.

Thats pants and anyone who does it (against me) should be banned from the game for life.

also you can add to that list anyone with a noob tube (Oneshot, but only if he is not on my team) and anyone who lobs random grenades at the start of a S&D game
 
i don't really use noob tube now on hardcore search and destroy,i only use it when playing hq or dom,Thing is with noob tube once you waste your 2 bombs your at a disadvantage against people with a red dot ect on there weapon.I dont like using the noob tube because of without a red dot on the ak47 the muzzle flash blocks your view and i end up missing.
