    Of course you think it's better than MW2, the entire system is designed to benefit people with connections like yours.

    The guy in that video is the host ffs.

    Edit: reverse caps

    The game now does this cool thing where if it thinks your connection is too good, it'll deliberately move their hitbox as if you're experiencing lag.

    If you're already lagging you're obviously not going to see that part of it.

    What the heck are they gonna nerf on shotguns? Maybe they'll just patch em out of the game completely.

    So the reason I die to people that either
    1) arent on my screen
    or
    2) arent shooting

    is because my connection is
    a) too good
    or
    b) too bad

    you tell me, since you are god of internet connections and can tell who is host in a 20sec video file where 5 people all have 4 bar connections

    I'm not sure why you get super angry whenever I say that other people are having connection problems, but I'm pretty sure that you having terrible internet doesn't give you the right to tell everyone else that they're not having problems.

    Good, because every time you post about lag it's basically one giant pity party about how terrible your internet is.

    And since you don't get host, you wouldn't know that that video is basically what happens in every game whenever somebody with a bad connection runs at you.

    Except the guy in that video that ran at him had a four bar.

    And, no, I was actually calling you guys whiney because you are bitching about a <50 ping.

    Then you decided to argue with me about how good my internet was and I explained why you are wrong.

    Having a four bar doesn't mean the lag compensation isn't kicking in in your favour.

    PS, us having better internet than you doesn't mean we can't complain about an obviously broken system. I had shitty 0.064MB u/d last year and you never saw me coming into the thread to whine about lag, because it was pretty obvious where the problem is.

    I can't just go out and get better internet to fix this though because that's not the problem

    ALso, I would like to state this one thing....

    Two nights ago, I got host. It was glorious.

    Tonight, I was on a 3 bar, a bad 3 bar. And I BROKE MY FUCKING SHIT.

    So... I'm not sure I buy all the shit about host either.

    If you have host and the enemy team all have good connections to you, no problems will be had and you can enjoy your supreme hostiness as is good and proper and befitting a gentleman of action. If they don't, then the lag compensation code will bring the rage and accessories will perish. Or your win percentage will go down when you quit out and see that you had host, and then accessories will perish. Either way, really.

    I'm with mercy, i'll take host anyday of the week rather than deal with a horrible 3 bar.

    Also there are two levels of 3 bar:

    West coast 3 bar(Shitty)
    or
    East coast 3 bar(not too bad)

    Of course you can apply that differently depending on where you live. 8->

    GOD FUCK I HATE NOT HAVING A FUCKING HEADSET.

    MAGELL, SCAT, ETC. STOP BITCHING. I ALMOST SINGLEHANDEDLY WON THAT GAME. YOU GUYS WERE BUSY COMPLAINING WHILE I FUCKING CAPPED POINTS AND, YOU KNOW, DEFENDED. UGH. UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH.

    Fucking christfuck, the PA players are so fucking spoiled. It's a hassle when we actually have to defend points instead of rushing like fucking assclowns. GODDAMN YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WILL HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

    Once I get a new headset. Soon.


    EDIT: @0replace4displace @magell

    12 kills less than Scat? 500 more points. ONE THOUSAND more points than Magell. Ugh.

    I'm so pissed at both of you.

    Maybe if you kept playing I'd have gotten better.

    I'm lying I don't think I'm going to get better. I'm going to play more and find out.

    Plus I have to complain about bullshit, I can't admit it's because I'm not good.

    Uh, it seems like thermal in general just eliminates kick. On a sniper rifle there is absolutely no sway with it.

  • Options
    HibernusHibernus Registered User regular
    It eliminates viewkick or something apparently.

    On the L86 I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually remove any recoil, it just makes it look like it does.

    The lead laser build (thermal + Grip) absolutely destroys air support with blind eye pro. Run scavenger and make blind eye your first spec perk. Stinger gets you blind eye and L86 keeps the air clear

    But that video is Community related so there.

    Glee still has its moments, plus I'm too lazy to demand a lot of good stuff from Glee. Now Holi is going to regret mocking Mercy for liking Glee as he finds out most of us like it as well. Plus Santana and Britney are awesome and nobody can argue that.

    So... uh, this is an interesting thread. Connection arguements, Drunken break stuff rage and discussion about that awful awful Glee show. The PA crew sure is interesting!

    For real though, how can "We're gonna nerf shotguns" not be a joke? Maybe they're just going to nerf the striker since its the only somewhat lethal shotgun in the game?

    Every shotgun became useful once Range was unlocked. Just move it to second or third unlock.

    This reminds me of one of the loading screen tips I saw yesterday that made me laugh. I think someone at IW got killed by a Juggernaut one too many times.

    "Juggernauts aren't so tough when you cram a missile down their throats"

    Edit: You know what needs a nerf? Trophy system's ineffectiveness, maybe tone that down a bit. Got killed by a pred missile after making the mad dash to Tridus' (I think) deployed TS. I've switched back to flashbangs + Hardline pro...

    It'd be cool if you could use prestige tokens to not only unlock a weapon, but you could use another token and unlock all the attachments for it/max out it's leveling. Since, you know, they're not gonna "fix" shotguns.

    I've never been killed by a shotgun other than the Striker (and that was more than fair), so if they nerf all the shotguns (again) they really most have some kind of hate boner for them.

    I liked that in MW2 if you got rolling in a lobby the chances that you were host went up just because everybody else was leaving. You could tear off some really good win streaks that way... In MW3 it seems that if you get rolling in a lobby you eventually end up lagging to all hell, getting pissed and leaving that lobby to try and find a new one where you will have a lower chance of being host.

    It would actually be interesting to see a comparison of W/L and KDR over a sample of games where you stay in the lobby no matter what versus if you leave after every match.
