I can't seem to kill anyone on Call of Duty 4 because they seem to always have an extra .5 second to react. I tried switching off the wired connection onto a wireless connection and then the lag got worse.
 
The reason I know for sure its lag and not just me being a slow retard is because in the kill cam replay, sometimes my shots aren't even heard or seen!
 
Anyway to get rid of this so I can actually play my full potential?

Re: Online PS3 Lag is Killing Me.... Literally

I don't know if its just that you suck or your lag is incredibly bad. I am in a worst scenario than you, I live far away from the states (GUAM) and that long distance makes the games laggy, all the games I go into (I never host), the best I can get is 3bars, 2bars average. And there is about a .5 second delay, and I'm still able to get a lot of kills and little deaths. I usually use the barrett .50, but I'm not a camper that stays in one area like for the rest of the game, I'm kinda of like an assault sniper and use the Deagle for close encounters, and sniping with lag is very hard to do and gets irritating. But after a while, you learn and get used to it and KNOW how to fire ahead of the opponents.

Re: Online PS3 Lag is Killing Me.... Literally

How do you chose to host or not to host? And will that improve my lag problem?
 
Too bad you live in Guam... or maybe that's a good thing if you're in a nice location as far as non-ps3 related things go

I don't think it's your connection, but that also depends on what you have.
 
I have Fios and every other game I own that I play online runs fine on PS3 except COD4.

Re: Online PS3 Lag is Killing Me.... Literally

I have posted this same problem in the COD4 section of these forums, and the problem is real. But for some reason on this thread most of you think it's not a COD problem but the user’s internet instead. In the COD section almost everyone who responded to this issue can relate to it from time to time, they blame it on the servers. They call it Server Lag and Inaccurate Hit Detection. To me it just seems like the game is not representing everyone the same in real time regardless of who is to blame. Hopefully as the internet keeps getting better and the games get better, this will be less of a problem. I believe in the next patch, this issue may be helped.

I have 7 mbps speed as well, and I see the kill inaccuracies happen at least once a game out of the 6-7 times a game I get killed. But I can also tell from time to time that I kill someone else who I think maybe should have killed me first. I just say to myself, "well that dud it’s going to be pissed when he sees his kill cam." 
On a happier note, the game is so dead on in every way, we just never notice such detailed inaccuracies in games until now. The next gen game has raised our game play online, but has more defined detailed problems in gaming within our internet technology. Think about it, it wasn't too long ago our internet wouldn't even have been able to make this game happen online. Our speeds have increased 5 times in 5 years. But it still isn't perfect. Maybe in another 5 years it will be. But I am sure new, even more detailed problems will arise. But even with the current issues, this game is incredible and I have spent more hours with this game than any other in my life and I am 41 years old.

Mom can I have another quarter, pleeezzzzzzzz!!!!!

Re: Online PS3 Lag is Killing Me.... Literally

So i created a private match with my friend to test out the M16 on COD4.  With stopping power it's a one shot kill (head or chest) even if the opponent has juggernoob on.  so i'm in game last night... and i'm nailing guys with two full bursts.  they turn around and kill me in one shot.  **bleep** is that??

Re: Online PS3 Lag is Killing Me.... Literally

I wouldn't, immediately, blame the dude's internet connection.  He did, after all, say he tried both Wired and Wireless via his broadband provider.  COD4 seems to have a LOTTA online issues which remain to be adressed.  Personally, I wasn't able to even play online for the first two months that I owned COD4, yet, every other game (Warhawk, UT3, R:FOM..) all played online flawlessly during that time.  I was just about to toss my copy of COD4 onto ebay when my younger brother came over one day and, OMG, he was able to get online and into a game and, of course, I looked like a fool for telling him he wasn't goin to be able to play it.  Ever since, it's been kind've hit and miss.  Somedays I can get in a game online no problem, but other days, I'll wait for 20 minutes to get in a game, give up, and play UT3 or Warhawk instead.  Hopefully, due to its popularity, COD4 will get more fixes and patches but, IMO, the online--matchmaking--component of COD4 is very weak, however, online-gameplay-is top notch.
