Hi kozzy1234, that is a symptom of lag. It will cause the various people playing to be a little out of sync with each other. So when you precieved yourself to be sneeking and then shooting, the other person being out of sync with you because of lag, saw you sneeking and shot before you shot from their perception. What you described is exactly what we are complaining about here.

Althought complaining about it doesn't do much good in a forum, we should be sending e-mails to the company who wrote the game Activision and Infinity Ward. Or at the least be talking about it in their forums (http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/) where the people who can do something about it may actually read about it. :)

Its not lag your describing.

It latency. Its what happens on PTP networks.

Actually LAG is Latency, and Latency can happen on ANY TYPE of network, it is not subject to only PTP Networks.

Just to be clear, LAG is a term used by gamers to refer to delays noticeable to the user. It is a symptom where the result of an action appears later than expected. This is exactly what is being complained about here. While the pure definition of Latency is a time delay between the moment something is initiated, and the moment one of its effects begins or becomes detectable. Wow that sounds like LAG to me. There are different types of latency BTW, and they are defined slightly different depending on what they are applied to, especially when talking about different types of networks.

I agree with you wagexslave!

(For the Record I can only speak to the XBox 360 version, I have never played it on PC or PS3)

I also have been have LAG issues described in this thread, but only for the last week and a half. Before that it was more of a rare issue, now its almost every game.

The only thing I do not agree with totally in this forum is people stating that the game is unbalanced. I find it very balanced. I personally never use Juggernaut and Martyrdom, for I think it cheapens the game, however I love when others use them. I love killing people using Juggernaut. I assume most people will have it when I take a shot, and when I get the "+" icon I know to get putting bullets into them. Also I assume everyone has Martyrdom so I do not get near them right away after they die, or I always try to sprint away if I am at close range when they die.

I think the game is very balanced for those who like strategy and having to think in a game.

For the most part I agree with just about everything in this forum, except for it being an unbalanced game.

I also thank DopeyDavoidfor his explanation, it was very nice to learn that.
