Post: MW3 with MW2 connection? Would you love it?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys,

Maybe this thread is useless, maybe this thread is in the wrong forum, but I have a question for you guys:

What would you think about MW3, if it had a MW2 connection?

I'm asking this, because many of you say that MW3 is 100% equal to MW2, but it is in fact MUCH and MUCH worse connection-wise. For example: if you used the FAMAS a lot in MW2, you were better off when being the host (if you weren't the host, 2/3 shots would've hit your opponent instead of 3/3). Now, in MW3, it's not even about being the host; it's about the connection your opponents have. If their connection sucks, then so does yours. For example: I have a 100/100 up/download speed, which should cancel out nearly all problems with a connection, but I still get taken out by someone, who has a 3-bar who is sponging as many bullets as possible. Do they get an advantage over me for having a WORSE connection than me? If so, why did IW implement this into the game? What was wrong with the MW2 connection?

For me, this game feels like MW2 with the connection of Wack Ops (which is why I didn't play WO, uhh, BO).

Just curious about what you guys are thinking about this and also tell me, if you'd think this is possible to achieve.

Thx for reading, hf commenting

I play competive clan wars in europe and apparently we spoke about the connection yesterday with my mates. COD4 was all good, MW2 nearly as good, we never played B.O. after two of us tested it and now we start to thinking about going back to MW2 as mostly we play priv matches. Connection on MW3 is getting worse and worse and everyone of us has over 20Mbits and at least 2Mbits upload which ALWAYS gave us very good connection on previous IW titles. This one is made to satisfy ALL people, which worse broadband too. We spoke about this and someone said, right, they should set the limit on the game, if your connection is below some limit 2Mbit/1Mbit then you wont play it. But i said, hey, what about the money they loose. Its all about the money, keep EVERY player happy, pissing of those, who spend much money to have good D/U.

Have you thought that perhaps it was just luck that they got you? Perhaps the perks, proficiency or gun they were using rivaled what you were using?
I've considered this many a time when I've immediately assumed it was the connection. Upon looking at the killcam, I've realised that it could have been the gun, proficiency, perks, hell even the player were better


NO ONE EVER THINKS THIS.

In the average COD player's mind. Every gun that kills them has to be overpowered. Every guy that killed him was camping even though the constant streams of UAV might have gave the enemy a heads up to where they were.

Every knife was a commando lunge or a commando knife.

Every guy that does rush is using an overpowered gun or Akimbo FMGs.

Every guy with a k/d higher than theirs must just camp all game and is terrible. COD Elite means nothing. COD players convince themselves of way too much BS. The enemy beats your team in Dom 200-50 and instead of taking that asswhoopin like a man, they say, the enemy was "camping, hackers, tryhards"...Like that excuses getting raped....

I would play this game again if it had MW2 connections, I use to pull host all the time with my 30/30 upload and download speeds. Basically everyone would have a good connection and I won most of my gun fights because I was good. Now in this game when I'm not at college and I'm at home with a great connection I'm never host and it makes some person with McDonald's internet host and everyone else has bad internet so I get the raw end of the stick. I haven't played this game since Dec 19th. They just need to get rid of lag compensation, don't fix it, get rid of it.

I wish they'd get rid of it because for one it's annoying and for two it's just another excuse COD players can use.

"Its not fair, my internet is NASA speed and everybody else is a kid with dial up internet, woe is me".

Downloading porn, and having multiple devices on your wifi signal can hurt your connection too.

COD players take legit annoyances orissues and magnify them by 5. We know, everyonr has a shit connection but you :carling:

The main problem with (most) MW3 servers is that Infinity Ward tried to take out the whole "host advantage" thing. One thing that I LOVE that MW3 did though is give you a 5 second period between each round of S&Awesome face. Remember on MW2 how every round you would have IMMENSE lag those first few seconds? Diminished! Proud of IW for that.

I defeated!
Host migrating all the time and lagging constantly? no thanks

Clearly someone does think of this, and that would be me.

I do agree with everything that you did say though. The average COD player will immediately jump at the easiest excuse, as to why they were killed
