lag?

Scruff

Anyone noticing a lot of lag over the weekend? Being new to MW2 in addition to sucking in general at it in general, it seemed like I was peppering other players with rounds on a lot of occasions but on the replay from their kill cam I would barely have got a shot off. Connection was only 3 out of 4 bars at best but was down at 2 quite bit.

Yeah i have noticed this too, i taught it was my connection as only 3mb.

I had it a good bit too, ended up leaving a few games because they were nearly unplayable.

Another thing we have to put up with thanks to match making

But yeah I got this a lot and it drives me nuts, really gets my nerd rage all flared up.

Its very noticeable on Team Hardcore Deathmatch too. If you shoot a guy in that mode you expect instant death. When you know you hit them but they don't go down it can be very, very frustrating.

You end up being a liability to the team and possibly costing them the match.

Over the weekend I was playing a round of Favela(sp?) on normal team death match and I saw a sniper jump from a roof and head my way. I crouched behind a corner and waited for him. He walked around and I opened up on him with the scar-h. Suddenly I flop to the ground dead. Watching the killcam, the guy had walked around the corner, aimed the rifle, put the crosshair on my head and pulled the trigger. All before I hit him with even 2 bullets.

I just took the loss and quit for my own sanity.

Full green bars except one night, but this was due to my area getting line upgrades.

Not a bother on my end,

Aalot of my mates on eircom though have been saying its been muck, granted their contention ratio is pretty ****, I think Eircom is the problem more then the game or hosts.

This is nothing new. WaW is really bad for this too. Hmmm the weird thing is this happens quite regularly without the usual jumping around business usually associated with lag. I think the game is coded to hide minor bits of lag in these circumstances to keep things fluid. Its very annoying has cost me a lot of kills. I think this comes down to host advantage i.e. the other guy may have been host and you may have had a slow ping so he has a natural advantage
