    Is it just me or is the lag comp getting worse? I've rage quit every game I've played today because I'm losing every single 1v1

    you know, maybe they should have a leaderboard for rage quitting!

    I would be very close to the top of that.

    I don't know if people know or if it will make a difference. Before the last patch I had my search preferences set to "best" and most of the time the connections were decent. After the patch connections seemed to go to absolute ****e for me and I couldn't get my head around it. I checked search preferences again and it had switched back to "any". I changed it back to "best" again and the connections improved. Having said that it's not hugely consistant but it's better than before. I can't guarantee it'll work for everyone but at least have a look and give it a shot if you haven't already :)

    You konw I haven't seen any lag at all whatsoever in Halo4. If they can do it - why can't the Black Ops people ?

    Because they're appealing to two different demographics.

    Yes, both of them are FPS but Halo has a competitive edge in MLG. CoD moulds their games for the lowest common denominator. The more little casual kids can get these mad scorestreaks the better. Just pester mammy and daddy to further invest in Activision products.

    They're not interested in having people pick up the game and try to improve, they want your grandmother to play Kill Confirmed and come out with a score of 6,000. Thats what the game is designed for...mainstream pick-up-and-play. It's the reason the MLG players avoided CoD like the plague all these years - they know exactly what it is. It wasn't made for them.

    BS... besides the fact that competitive CoD is basically stripped of all the crap (Killstreaks/Imbalanced perks)... there's not a chance my granny could get a score of 6,000 in KC... no way.


    Seriously tho, i'd say the reason CoD has never taken off on a scale relevant to its commercial success, is because its just not fun to spectate. Its the same reason why LoL/Dota2 and Starcraft 2 are so massive (All 3 of them make Halo look very weak in comparison).. i hate playing those games but for some reason i think they're great to watch.

    ^ I've stayed away from MP purposefully 'cos I know if I try it and the lag compensation is truely as bad as y'all say I'll bin it and never give it a chance. Hopefully this gets resolved / patched in the next few weeks. Really love COD but for this and hackers.

    Not seeing this on 360 TBH . Most times people try and knife me they just swing the knife but they don't pop forward . Any time I try and stab an opponent I find I have to be right on top of them or else its a miss and I'm swinging at air .

    I'm one of them although on Xbox. It feels like I'm a split second behind the other team so for me it's a must if I'm to have any chance

    Then we see the people who have prestiged using their permanent unlock on it. Search and destroy is becoming overrun with ghost users.

    Nowhere near prestige as of yet, but think my token will be used for the Black Hat, then create a class from then on, don't really care about Ghost as the lag makes even having it pointless sometimes!

    my only problem ever with ghost was the feckers sititng in corners acting the maggot.

    I think its nearly essential in blops due to the amount of uav spam and the unwillingness of team mates to take them fukking down.have a launcher on all my classes due to this

    Ghost??? Black hat ????? What are ye on about ? Have I missed something ?

    Have to say I have not been paying much attention to the unlocks - I've just been milling on through it - I'm doing ok with standard weapons. Honestly I think I must have a good connection speed cause I'm doing much better than I've done on other COD's.

    You're the only person I've seen that has benefited from the lag compensation.
