(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm disappointed in Activision. Every year we get a COD game and they still can't seem to get shit right on release day or weeks following up. The connections are always horrible and the sounds seem to be fucked up as well. Sure there's a big traffic of people trying to hop on the game at the same time but they should be beyond prepared to handle the situation at this point. As of now the connections are still retarded, unless your host, your honestly not going to be playing a fare match. You will shoot at enemies and get killed first, you watch the killcam and it shows you running at them like Forrest Gump. The sounds are messed up. I get shot at and don't hear anything, sometimes they even sound like silenced weapons and the footsteps are honestly barely audible, unless equipped with dead silence. The game is good but that's whats ruining it for me and I'm sure a lot of other players. Zombies, in all honesty, is the only thing that's keeping me playing. As of today I'm done with multiplayer until there is some sort of fix to atleast the lag.

Anything I missed or something someone wants to bring up?

As is my standard response to every thread on here atm, I wouldn't know, I can't get on the fucking game. But such issues don't just occur on COD, they occur on every game and always have done and always will do until we are all on Fibre Optics.

I feel like you nailed it on the head however what else can you expect it's Call of Duty... present day Call of Duty. No disrespect to previous titles such as CoD4 and CoD5.

I know and I'm not saying there isn't lag or errors in other games. But for a game to get released every year (basically the same game) and still fuck up on the exact same shit every time is a bit ridiculous. You can maybe enjoy and do good in about 1 game out of 10. It sucks!

We still don't know the reason behind the downtime.
It could be something complex due to changing how the game works. Yes they have done that between MW3 to black ops 1.

One thing is for sure some people don't know how to setup networks still so may be feeding into the lag issues. Matchmaking is running better compared to BO1/MW3. No more german players ftw!!!
Btw the killcam is not proof of lag. You can see it already in game without the use of killcams.
Footsteps are worthless this game again.
What intersting in terms of matchmaking is how League play runs a different matchmaking code compared to normal play lists. It more harsh in terms of searching for pings. < result it runs better.

Some of my problems are due to my setup the router is rubbish < fixing that.
Wireless does not help.

Also it a big release problems are going to happen sadly.

I agree with everything you just said & my router could be a bit messed as well. But as far as the killcam, I have to disagree. For example, I see an enemy, I run around something to get closer to him, when I see him I start shooting and then somehow I die quicker. Now the killcam shows me running at him but never shooting a single shot. I think it's proof. I know it's happening during the game but the killcam and live gameplay are showing two different scenarios.

It a symptom of latency/lag.
Killcams are the after effect within the game dealing with latency by a whole host of measures.
It the reason why treyarch wanted killcams and ingame video to see what was going on during black ops 1.

I agree especially as far as footsteps are concerned. Honestly it's funny how your teammates sound like they are literally stomping on the ground while the enemies move as if they have Dead Silence when they don't.

Even those trolls running around with 5 perks trying to knife can run up on you without you hearing them. Luckily the knife slash is very loud so when I hear that I can turn around quick enough.

Connection issues aren't just Activision. We all pretend like are internet is so great and everyone else's is terrible. I don't care if you are a kid or an adult but a lot of people don't live alone. So if you have a spouse, roommate, parent or child sharing the internet connection with you, that will impact your internet's quality. Unless you have 18mb + connection things like streaming Netflix and downloading things will greatly hurt your connection.

It's why this game is a catch 22 for me. I do so much better alone with no lag but I lose. In a party I will win way more than I lose but I will lag. And everyone in the party pretends that not only is their internet great, but no one else could be hurting the connection.

yet you still buy it every year
