Call of Duty Series

Out of all the CoD titles, Black Ops has it worst in terms of lag and connection issues. This game is so inconsistent, and you can never has a consistent 4 bar. You will have a 2 bar and then two seconds later you'll have a 3 bar, then one minute later you will have a 4 bar then back to 1 bar.

The only time things will really go your way is if you are host. The time when you and an enemy see each other is totally off. Sometimes I would will spray an entire clip with the Commando just to kill him, and others I am clearly hitting him but the games not registering it, so no damage is done to him. I hate it when me and an enemy run into each other head on, he is looking at the ground doesn't even notice me, I shoot him he looks up and kills me. Frustrated I watch the KillCam and sure enough what I saw is definitely not what he saw. It shows he saw me and kills me. It didn't show me shooting or damaging him at all. This happens way too often.

I'm failry confident Modern Warfare 3 won't have these issues since IW CoD's seem to be the higher qaulity CoD titles.

That whole rant sounds about like any CoD game I can remember..  Lol.

Thats CoD for you, you can be in a room and have 4bars yet your connection will studder like its 2 bars. Just keep quiting and joining till you find a room with a consistent connection.

Ehh its Black Ops has lagged for people not named host since day 1. I watched two kill cams last night and the people did not get a hit marker one me. This happened twice I am not making this up I was baffled, not pissed just like ehh thats Black Ops $90 soon to be $105 for the worst FPS on ps3.

Yeah it's been lagging a lot for me too, along with mw2. Yesterday it seemed a lot better than it was for weeks.

Did you play cod4? It was horrendous for a long time at the release until they patched it.........probably going to happen to mw3 as well. Also mw2 has been terrible lately with the host migration failing about 90 % of the time....

[Zinkeh]

All CoD's have suffered from this.....strangely enough WaW had the least of them.

MW1---- Rampant lag and connection issues. Many of the "I shot WAY before he did...how did I die?" moments.

WaW----Lag here and there but nothing horrendous. The MP40 was bad enough.

MW2---- Lag Lag Lag, Rubberband Lag...Host Migrate, Host Migrate Fail...It's still doing this like crazy to this day.

Black Ops----Can have 2 hours of perfect play or 2 hours of abolutely ridiculous connections where you have to fire off 20 shots to have 5 actually hit. It's one of the many reasons the Famas is so grossly overused: sprays out enough shots accurately to compete with the lag caused hit-detection problems. This game is absolutely chock full of the "I saw him coming, I had ghost, I was ADS, I was prepared, I fired half a clip into his chest....he fired 4 shots. How the hell did I die?" Situations.

MW3 will be exactly the same as they are using the same crapfest servers and host setup.

What is this all leading to you ask? Most likely we are being prepped for a pay to play arrangement where they'll claim to provide better servers. Shoulda been dedicated servers from the get-go anyhow.

The OP is completely right. Connection is why I get cheated so often.

This is as perfect to a statement as anyone can make. Even without the ghost the ADS prepaired 20 bullets later I end up dead.

if you did that you'd never be able to play. "camp of duty" is that bad. i just cant wait till resistance 3 comes out so we dont have these problems

I can't wait to play a game that doesn't have these problems.  some of the most frustrating moments in gaming for me has been with Black ops.  I started a similar thread to this a week or two ago.  I actually broke a ps3 controller because of these situations, and I haven't done that since i was a kid. (30 now).

This game has cost me 145 so far, with the controller included.

F that.  I'm moving on to a new shooter.  I can't stand this anymore.
