I've had so many cases where I'd fire, my gun would produce sound and yet no bullets would register before I die. However, damage feels almost random every game. In MW2, I see the same thing on both ends, in terms of who's firing and who's aimed and who's doing what. If you have bad lag comp, what you see on your end and what you see on the killcam will be different. I want to write off the bullshit deaths as 'poor netcode' or 'lag compensation', but this is not how lag compensation works. If the game's SBMM works at all, this should not be the case, but I think this is not a skill subject, it's a subject of the game being rigged and lobbies being set up and pre-determined.

In some games, you feel like you're shooting recruit bots, the next few games - you're getting melted without even getting a shot in.

Let me explain.Įveryone knows what I'm talking about on some level. I've never experienced the sort of bullshit that happens in MW2. I've played on LAN, on dialup, on 512k lines and on megabit lines.

I have been playing online shooters since Quake 2 and the CS beta, including every single CoD barring IW and AW. Make yourself a cup of coffee and have a sit-down for a bit.

Cod online gameplay sucks
