It seems that lag compensation returns with a vengeance for people with good internet
Any game I have been host it is unplayable. I can empty a whole clip into somebody and nothing and they are getting instant kills and kills through walls etc. The gun will just not aim when I am host. I am going from games where I am not host I am getting 2.5kd to 0.6 when I am host. The only kills I get is when somebody is facing the other direction and not moving.
I am getting host much more then usual for some reason with this game. When I am not host I do not have these issues. I also keep getting matched with American lobbys and getting host. It makes no sense except maybe its just the just the number of Americans online. It seems every game I go into the host quits and I get host :mad:
I am sure it will settle down a bit. I just wish Activision would give dedicated servers for this game. Same ****e at launch every year.
Apart from that it is a great game and I am looking forward getting stuck into it. Its one issue but it is a huge issue for me. I have been playing Halo 4 since launch and have not had a single issue with lag compensation or hit detection. Just seems less laggy bull**** kills and more skill based. Hard to tell which one I will play more in the future but I will keep both.
Domination is ****ing hectic in this game. Very hard to cap B unless you are playing as a team. Especially that map with the town square. I love the way domination is split into two rounds now. FFA is mental as usual.
While I''m sort of enjoiyng the game. The connections in it totally ruin. I'll have a 4 bar, but the amount of **** to put up with is tough.
The lags ridiculous don't know how to describe it, but ever since cod4 the hit detection has been brutal. It must have something to do with the system COD have been using obviously interlinking with everyones connections. I'm fairly certain they changed it after COD4.
Dedicated servers would make it so much better, but can't see that happening for years!0 -

Yep, that's my plan. Try run netflix in the background. I read that it is the best thing to run in the background as it is consistent and you can choose low settings. Will give it a go later. I also read about changing connection matchmaking priority from normal to best to get more local games. If you are host the more crap connections that joins in the more messed up lag comp gets.
Hopefully tonight will be a better experience from a lag comp perspective. Its a shame because I am enjoying all other aspects of the game.0 -

Exaclty what is happening to me. I could shoot at someone on the back, he will turn around and kill me with a couple of rounds...
Now I have no choice but to join running games to avoid being host. Hit detection is not working too well either!
UAV everywhere so the only way to flank the enemy is by using the default ghost class which means, as soon as I shoot my gun I come up in the radar and I am dead! Counter UVA will be great if available at a sooner stage as I think you have to be level 44 to unlock it... that's not good
Still really enjoying it atm, I hated black ops 1, really liking Black Ops 2. I can't play search though, at least until they fix that lag compensation thing. Or I could always buy a second line with an aweful dsl provider and use it to play the game
Playing hardzone or whatever is called. I use to play search to rank up quickly but search kills only count as 100 points now (more or less the same as TDM) so no point in playing it.
Also, has anybody noticed that when its the last round (lets say search and rounds are 3-3 and you are switching sides you end up in the same one? I mean, if you were plating and the game says "switching sides" (for the 7th round) you end up planting again when you should be defending...0 -

No such problems for me on PC, Treyarch have dedicated servers up for PC and things are rock solid.0 -

Played a good 6-7 hours last night once I got in from work and I have to say I'm really enjoying it so far.
A lot of us in the party were pretty annoyed initially from dying out of nowhere etc. but that just needs map knowledge which will come in time.
This is supported by the scores we got when we switched to the Nuketown playlist and ran riot on teams.
I went something along the lines of 48-2 using the DSR 50 Sniper - God bless that gun
Also, throwing a silencer on an AR/SMG and flanking around the back of spawns really pays off at the moment because people are focusing so much on the UAVs that your silenced kills are that much more effective0 -
I have at least a 2.3 Kd on every Cod since Cod 4, yet I can barely hold a 1.0 Kd in this game.
I lose nearly all of my gunfights and it seems the only time I can get a kill is when someone runs past me.
Any other season cod players finding it hard to play at the same level as previous cods?
Yeah I think it is too, last cod I played was black ops 1 and I had a k/d of 2.4, have 1.5 with this.
It seems that you are easier to kill (do you have less health or do weapons do more damage???), if someone catches you unaware you are dead unless they are terrible at the game. Where as previously you might have had time to run around a corner, turn around and shoot or take out your secondary.
Plus not many have ghost yet so you are probably appearing on their radar every time the other team get a uav.
But alas none of this matters to me any more, I got my €60 refunded
I think it's a poor game, definitely not worth €60, I even think BO 1 is better. I like the revamped create a class and the prestige token but not much else. Was looking forward to the divisions thing but there were feck all people playing it and only got 3 games. It has less stats than BO 1 did (used to love analysing my stats), lack of weapons (if you're not running around with a silenced mp7 or type 25 you are in the minority), host migration, same old repetitive run and gun gameplay, random freezing and not being able to play online today didn't help.
Even zombies has gotten boring, didn't try the single player but oh well. My advice to anyone on the fence is don't get it and if you did get it and are unhappy with it leave it back.
Going to head back to bf3 to enjoy some dedicated servers, teamwork, tactical battles, weapon variety and not getting slaughtered by stealth helis because your teammate has gone 0-20.0 -

so far its second to COD4 as being the most fun without being infuriating to play, I'm sure that'll change once the Ghost brigade start showing up for now I'm enjoying this far,far more than I expected. High five for Treyarch.0 -
