I know what you're talking about hoos but that video ain't it. That video should be titled something like "shotguns fucking suck" or "fuck the knife lunge". What gets me is when you can be running from fire and be completely behind a building and still get killed.

I 100% agree. and I don't mean a little around a corner, I mean quite a few steps. However, the game is good.

I have confidence that anything they need to patch, that they will

Dan - I agree with that but you can see in the video that what he is seeing on his screen is not what is happening in the game. In the first clip, he gets 2 shots off but the game only barely registers 1 before he's killed.

I've been reading up on this lag compensator thing. It was apparently first put in on Black Ops. It attempts to sync all the ping times in the game together so that nobody has an advantage. So, if you have a low ping time it will slow your connection down to try to match the higher ping times.

The problem is that it is causing completely out of sync images for a lot of players. What is being seen on the screen is not in sync with what the server is seeing. You can find video after video about it on YT.

I have no doubt that it will be synced at some time but right now it's a mess for some of us. It has gotten a lot worse the last 7 or so days compared to when the game first came out. So, I guess they are adjusting it on the go.

There are tons of videos and posts on the COD board from people with the same problem that I'm having. The game is nothing but frustrating for me. Most of the time, the killcam doesn't even show me shooting at people. The only good games that I can have anymore are ones where I can get to a good sniping spot and completely avoid gun battles. Other than that, I'm fucked. :(

Here is a great video. This guy actually adds a delay to his router (making his connection worse) and he gets better.

Was running pretty clean last night, few hiccups here and there. Do agree with shot round corners, that's awful in this game

This is absolutely what was happening the other night when Coug, AJ, and I were in the game where the guy got MOAB. I am not exaggerating at all but he would appear and I was dead. That's it. He was using the type 95 and it was like the first bullet of the burst was killing me.

Dan and I found out last night that it takes more than 2 guys to play TDM. Match after match, we were put in with a team that all would go negative. Was miserable.

I played 3 or 4 games last night just to see if anything had changed. I don’t see where this lag thing would need to be in a patch so I’m assuming it will be tuned on the fly.

Overall, it seemed a little better last night. I had one game that was bad and then I had another game where I could tell that I was benefiting from the connection problem. You can tell just by the lack of a reaction when you shoot somebody straight on that you probably just appeared on their screen.

So, it was better but the sync problem is certainly still there.

Out of sync images plus a burst weapon is going to make it look like you just dropped dead out of nowhwere.
