Re: Black OPS host delay

Constantly... it has to do with Microsoft and Activions' complete lack of respect for their customers. We pay $60/year for the XBOX Live Gaming "Service". For that $60 I receive unlimited advertising "buy this!" "Did you see this app yet!", no support, and no gaming host servers. The game is actually hosted on another players' console. Thus the lag. This is different than some PC games where the servers are actually dedicated (or at least virtual servers) servers running the software with better upload/download bandwidth and processing power to properly handle the task.

The XBOX 360 console itself combined with your typical residential upload/download (unless you are a lucky FIOS customer) speeds is not really appropriate for hosting a game. Unfortunately this is how hosting works on COD. And as long as customers keep buying the consoles and the games - and as long as the companies keep making record profits selling the games - they aren't going to change a thing.

I can tell you that I never would have purchased any COD games past the original Modern Warfare if it weren't for the fact that I own a mod shop. I dislike XBOX360 console platform with a passion.

Re: Black OPS host delay

PS3 is just as bad, if not worse. Every single game lags. I havn't played it in over 2 weeks, i just can't stand the crappy conection. They need to do something about it if they want me to buy anything off them again.

Re: Black OPS host delay

I agree, Black Ops and beyond NEEDS dedicated servers for Xbox360/PS3

That's wrong. It works just as well as live when teh game it's self works. There are serious issues with black ops.

Re: Black OPS host delay

Black ops connection + knife blows. Turbo Knife = what COD knife should be like.

I sometimes knife 2 seconds before it registers as a kill / sometimes I knife and 2 seconds later I die because the enemy gets the knife kill even though I see my knife hit him. It is stupid :evil:

thats why you dont bring a knife to a gunfight.....personally i prefer when the knife is broken it keeps everything in CQC balanced.

No I mean if they are right on you and you both knife, but I knife earlier, sometimes I won't get the kill. They will end up getting the knife kill because of the lag-difference.

The best gaming is done on pc but to get a really good pc gets costly but its worth every penny plus the graphics are the best for pc gaming as well.

Halo reach has dedicate servers. Bungie actually listens too there customerds.

Is this with the normal knife you mean? Does using the turbo knife help with this? I'm wondering if your turbo-knife glitch is some way to 'fool' the lag compensation.

Also I'm sticky'ing this thread as this link is AWESOME:
