And are you really going to sit here and spew out random irrelevent "credentials" and proceed to tell me that lag isnt always present on say ps3, when say 500000-1000000 players are online globally.
Come on, even that sounds crazy, especially coming from an engineer and software developer you say you are.
Your theory is complete nonsense. The amount of people online does not, in it's self, generate lag.
With the internet, the more people online may slow your speed, but it doesn't mean you will lag with that slower speed. COD lags because it is on user based hosting, i.e. user to user. Most games operate on a user to server basis, so the basic model looks like this;
COD
User <--> User
Most other games
User --> Server <-- User
Therefore, when you play most games, the server will run at a level based on your connection in order to keep the same in sync. So, for example, if you and I play a game, and your speed is 60Mbps and mine is 5Mbps, the server will run our game at 5Mbps to ensure you don't get an advantage. On COD, this doesn't happen and they instead use their own lag compensation which results in stupid things like where I have seen a throwing knife go past my head, but yet I drop dead a few seconds later, supposedly from that very same throwing knife. But that's not because of my connection to the internet being bad or slow.

I'm not racist, but nor do I 'love' blacks either. But I get racist as fuck when playing COD, but only because of the fact that people react to it. I make comments about everything, including but not limited to, nationality, race, stereotypes, parents, age, gender, sexuality, sound of their voice, style of play and just about whatever else I can think of to wind up and otherwise piss off the opposition ha
