Black Ops "Lag" - Client vs. Host Comparison

Die a lot without understanding why? Take a look here. I'm trying to show you what lag is and how it can affect us when playing. So if you watch this, you'll see what it looks like from someones view when they are playing, and then what is really happening on the host side. For those who don't know, theater replays are recorded on the hosts console.

Happens every time i fuckin play.

Great demonstration of what is actually happening! This is a constant struggle for me as I am usually at 3 bars in every game. I really hope that the game authors can rethink the way they handle the network code to compensate for this... or even better, start using dedicated servers like Battlefield so that you can pick the server closest to you and then there isn't a host who always has the advantage. Well done WhaleMaster. Infinity Ward/Treyarch, are you listening?

This game is complete fucking bullshit. I can unload 6 bullets, with the M16; or Half a Clip of AUG into someone and they're still running around. People who I SHOOT AT first , 3 to the chest; STILL kill me even though I shoot at them first. They see me before I see them. Usually best connections win.

I wonder how this applies to the service Onlive where everyone has at least 50ms of lag added.

Fucking disgusting. I wouldn't care if CoD wasn't such a big selling game, but fans literally pour buckets of money into their laps every year and they won't use any of the revenue on Dedicated Servers for their fanbase...they'll sure invent "Elite" though won't they?

Just for kicks I was playing Homefront yesterday games hit detection is flawless so my question is why can THQ go out on a limb with that game and give DS while the asses in Activision have a guaranteed money maker, but won't.

@zomgaskill Yeah, me too. But once in a while I am actually doing better. I suspect it is because I am on a 12/24 dsl line in Sweden and got somewhat good connection - compared to rest of europe - and especially large parts of russia and so on. That is, I get picked as the best choice for hosting and got that advantage that is.

That can explain why a friend of mine, not far from me in the city, on 100/100 mbps fiber never seem to have this problem. Probably getting picked as host a lot more?

Thanks this explaines a lot
