Great find, I was trying it out today, I usually end up with host so lag isn't too much of an issue. I just more or less get kicked out of the lobby if anything.

That's good and all but you quite a bunch of matches cause you do the lag test. You'll end up putting yourself on timeout. Gay, I know but sometimes you just have to deal with it

Me too Jeff!! The annoying thing is you can have a lag free connection then it migrates host, and mid game you get a shit connection and lag!! Very frustrating!!!!!

Ever since this thread was posted, I've noticed how bad this game is when it comes to lag. The whole bullet lagging pissed me off. I noticed that I would fire off a few rounds and not one would touch the enemy. What really pisses me off is that I'm already around the corner of a building (at least 10 game feet) and I'm shot cause their bullets curve around buildings. Last time I checked, BOP's isn't the movie wanted

This is true Rob, and it seems to be all of Tryarch games going back to World At war. They completely suck at getting there games to play without a delay. I thought they would get it fixed for BO2 but apparently they don't give a shit about it!!!

This is the first Treyarch game that I played online and I'm def not impressed. If their other games are similar as far as for lag and so forth, then I'm not to sure if I want to buy another game in the future from them. MWF has its lag moments but MWF is no where compared to the lag the BOP's has

I've always been skeptical with Treyarch games... I disliked the 1st BOPS so much I only prestiged once then traded the game in lol

Hmm I'll have to give it a try sometime... I just started messing with different score streaks yesterday... Got my first LEGIT swarm scorestreak... I used Orbital Vsat, EMP, then swarm... It happened so quick I nearly soiled myself. lol.:acool:

I'm working on the orbital and warhog. Once I can get the orbital a lot, I'll move forward to higher score streaks

I started using the warthog a few days ago and as long as no one shoots it down its good for 8, or 9 kills, it's a beast!!!

Same goes for my Stealth Chopper. When I have it and the AGR up, its almost a guaranteed 10 to 15 kills, and that's if both don't get blown out of the sky as well

Twizted875

01-17-2013, 09:05

The best setup I've found is to have stealth chopper up.... With this killstreaks alone if you are careful you can get all the other streaks within 20 seconds.... And get them repeatedly...

I did do pretty good killing the shit out people. I had a guy who wouldn't leave the lobby I was in cause he wanted to beat me. I only lost once to him and on the last game, (my last one) I completely demolished their whole team and made the guy who followed me rage quit mid game. I was 41 and 7 when I made him quite and ended the match at 46 kills and 14 deaths. I also called in 3 AGR's and 2 Stealths but all were blown up the second I called them in. I did get a few kills from them

So i just had an epic game of hc kc on raid. Went 58-16 while getting 3 sentry guns, 3 AGRs, and 2 Wharthogs. I thought I had the best connection I've ever had and I made a highlight video of it and it was laggy as fuck! No wonder no one could hit me, lol. It should be in my vault if anyone wants a good laugh.

I'm just running it for the challenge. Soon as I get the card/emblem, it'll get shelved.

I think as soon as I finish my last bits for diamond smg's, I'm going to have to take a break and focus on having fun/scorestreak stuff for a bit. Just see what kind of scores I can pull out.

Or maybe just adjust your settings.

This assumes you don't have shit connection. In which case yes, you should never turn the game on.

One thing I do before I ever log in my XBox Account is I go straight to the Network Settings and Test My Connection. I will redo that until I get a Good Test result. Then I log my XBox Account in and launch BOII.

If I'm playing and have suddenly start lagging out or Losing really bad I'll Dashboard, Log Out, test my connection until I get good results then log back in and start playing again.

It sounds Crazy, and May be, but it seems to work for me.

That was one of the things that ruined MW3 for me. I was doing fine and then I started lagging out every time, and I was just getting annihilated every time.
