That lag can sure help me take someone out that calls in the package though so I can steal it

By the way it's painfully clear when someone does a decoy package. Completely differently behavior from them.

Yeah....it was a lot of fun catching noobs with it the first week. Now they're a waste. I won't steal a package now unless I catch the guy trying to pick it up himself.

I love how it's always a really high streak just to tempt you. Every now and then I just go for it.

If I run the decoy package, I try to squash people with it. Got one person so far. Got a second but it was 'friendly fire'.

BD2003, stop being condescending toward people who are complaining about lag. We're not idiots. We realize this is an internet game, and that there will be lag. But this game is by far the worst of the CODs with regards to lag compensation. Almost everyone is in agreement on this, including the fucking developers of the game, so I don't understand why you continue to rail against people who want it fixed.

I have over 15 days played in black ops, I can't remember ANY time in that game where my lag-induced frustration level approached that of MW3.

If you prefer non-anecdotal evidence, just do a search for "lag" in the Black Ops and MW3 threads. In its entire year of existence, with 3,656 posts, there are only 42 posts that mention the word "lag." In ONE MONTH of the MW3 thread's existence with only 926 posts, 82 (now 83) contain the word "lag." That's a 1.1% vs 8.8% bitch-rate right there.

Well, we didn't even make it one whole page without the lag talk.

Another thoughtful post. Thanks for the contribution.

I'm done with it.

Any possibility that that means everyone else can meet me halfway and stop constantly bitching about it?

Because your bitching about something that is going to be fixed helps things too, right?

This is the most fun I have had with a Call of Duty game in a while. I am not the best player, so rolling with the support kill streaks is fun. I actually feel like I am helping my team win, and I even have a K/D spread around 1.2, which is pretty good for me.

 

[Sixguns]

I will use the decoys when its up for the daily/weekly challenge. All you have to do is bait the other team into it. While playing on seatown, I was able to use it succesfully twice by dropping it in enemy territory and pretending to get it. I would just sit back and fire at people who went for it. After they finally killed me, some sorry sap took the bait and gave me a double kill.

I have to agree. As much as I get frustrated with some issues with the game I am still having a hell of a great time playing it and it keeps me wanting to play more.

When I 1st started playing on release week between the issues and not knowing the maps or having the feel down for the guns I was really missing Blops.

A month or so in now (how long has it been out now?) and I'm really just having fun more than I'm not and that's what matters.

My one buddy that got me into COD last year with Blops (I never prior played online FPS) still can't get past the differences. But he hasn't put much time into it yet. I keep telling him to stick with it.

I love the much faster pace of MW3 over Blops. Blops was very sluggish to me. I might just be a MW fanboy since cod4 was my first shooter but I like the modern day shooters over shooters held in the past.

Holy cow.. I need kick. I almost can't play with out it.. even on the ACR . Been trying to use impact so that I can get the Frankenstein emblem, but I've been getting owned without kick.

Burst fire. Don't hold the trigger for more than ~2 seconds at a time for long-rate shots. The only gun I feel I need kick on is the CM901, and even that I could probably get the hang of.

I'm tempted to pick up MW3 for the PS3, once I get bored of Killzone 3. Killzone 3 has been keeping me pretty intrigued, both the single and multilplayer is pretty good (IMO). Once I finish single player and get some star ranks, I'll move on the MW3.

(I'm going to add you on PSN btw, my name on their is 'johnnyfiive'.)

I'll keep an eye out for ya.

I liked the campaign of Killzone 3 but didn't care for the online play personally but also don't think I gave it enough time since I had my friends always sending me invites for Blops at the time.

Actually, I think I'm going to switch to the m16 and type 95 to get that frankenstein emblem. Full autos, I like to spray, but that ak was flying up to the sky last night.. lol

 

[Sixguns]

I could never get the hang of the m16 with this cod. It seemed really weak to me but it might be that when I used in in MW2 I would use SP with it.

I wish they had the FAL. I loved that gun in Blops.

I liked the FAL too, have you tried the MK14? Good single shot with high accuracy.

 

[RzeusR]

MK14 by far one of the best i think

Not yet but I dont think it would work much for me now. In Blops I did a lot of CTF so I was mostly defending our flag. Now in MW3 Im mostly doing TDM and running and gunning.

Yah, mk14 is like the FAL with sp from MW2

 

[lokiju]

Had a 30 to 3 match in FFA. Might be my highest KD ratio to date for FFA.

Was nuts.

Here are the notes for today's patch:

Additional improvements to address lag.

Fix for Melee Jump.

Clan Tag Validation (remove buttons from clan tags).

Improve Host Migration logic. Prevent stat Loss.

Weapon Rebalancing (Dual FMG-9, Type-95, CM-901 Attachments)

Hitmarker Sound on Ps3

Reticle fix for certain weapons.

Updates to the Spawn system

Further “lag compensation” or “host advantage / disadvantage” updates plus ability for on-going hot fixes based on feedback.

Default :30 Round Start timer for System Link only, while looking into adjustable timer for System Link games for Competitive Play.

Options to allow System Link players to ‘unlock all’ for competitive play in System Link only.

Stop reading this post now if you don't want to read someone else's comments about lag & lag compensation.

If lag/lag compensation isn't fixed in this patch, I'm probably just going to sell the game. I went back to MW2 yesterday, and it was amazing. People actually died when I shot them. No more dying to people who hadn't even come around the corner yet on my screen. No one had any lag advantage over me, and I didn't have any advantage over them. Even when I was dying, I was just so much more relaxed.

 

[Saint Nick]

Why don't they post weapon re balancing info? They just say "weapon re balancing".

 

[lokiju]

Wonder what issue there was with melee jump?

What's system link?

Will be interesting to see how it plays over the weekend. Had one round again last night where me being host made it unplayable. Dropped out mid game it was so bad and sure enough it kicked off a host migration.
