As said in the video, Lag comp is in every online shooter. It has to be to function properly. But it's not configured right at all in MW3 and this shows how that misconfiguration actually looks.

Also, I decided it best to edit out all the technical info I had in there to keep it shorter and more "entertaining", so you get to miss out on me talking about ping, packets, interpolation, and the likes :)

"Lag compensation is in every online FPS" not true, it's not in CS:GO, CS:S, CS 1.6 and it runs MUCH better than the latest CoD lag comp games (MW3 and BO2), so so much for that argument.

[capp00]

Yes, it is. Just not the same methods/models used in the quake engine, which is what IW4 is built on. An online game without "lag comp" would be unplayable

[niko roark]

so u cant do nothing about it?

[capp00]

Nope. except not play

[DeviousXP]

your bit using theatre is flawed, becuase in MW3 theatre is not hosts

pov, its how it recorded to your HD.

[capp00]

That's partially correct. Theater records the hosts POV of the game and then stores the info on your local hard drive. Which is why if the round ends because the host dashboards, the video is lost.

[capp00]

Yup

[capp00]

If you're referring to me, then you're way off base. It's not an "excuse". This video was made by request from the developers, which I have gone back and forth with for a very long time. And there is no such thing as "perfect internet". I guarantee my connection is as clean and stable as humanly possible, but its still not perfect because once it gets past my modem, I have no control over it.

[halolouie]

Hah, you should research before blasting him with an idiotic comment. Lag Compensation was introduced by the half life engine which the original mod CS 1.6 is on. All the shooters you stated use lag compensation. In fact the example photo given on valve's website is of CS:S. So, so much for your argument. Google Source multiplayer networking click first link and scroll for evidence.

HOLY CRAP THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME AND IM HERE WONDERING ................... WOW I SUCK AT COD MW3 :(

[jordanzzzh]

so now I get why some players crouch while shooting at me... They use this lag to pick up kills one after the other...

[helltrackrider]

With the money they make...they should be able to provide some strategically located dedicated servers and give the user the option for local or global search...seems that could at least get some of the lag issues down.

I hate playing late at night from the East Coast and getting stuck on three and two bar in west coast lobbies...very frustrating.

[khetti2006]

I still haven't got a MOAB and I think a lot of the time it's due to this :( makes me cryyyyy. I get it all the time. And it's really fucking noticeable.

[Jinxy Katte]

Ok seriously I didn't realise it was this bad. So this is why I am constantly screaming at my T.V. that is not what happened after I watch the kill cam.
