A very heated discussion that consistently arises these days is the quality of Call of Duty’s multiplayer. Millions of people still play it but a large number of gamers have been very vocal about some of the issues that occur when playing online. When specifically speaking about Black Ops, lag is the topic I see come up the most often.
Ever feel like you’re shooting at a guy with no result? The video below – created by a fellow from YouTube named ‘WhaleMasher‘ – explains what’s really happening in those scenarios. Of course, this video could flame up in to a full blown war between those that prefer server-based games and those that don’t care either way, but we’re not going to chime in on that just yet. However, you should keep your eyes peeled in the future. You might just see a lengthy ‘discussion’ come from this.

Ive laid this game to rest for now, Playing MAG and loving it (after previously saying I wouldnt bother with it ;) )
Ive experienced lag in every multiplayer game Ive ever played online, Ive always put it down to crappy internet connections. Interesting video

Very informative.

This video shows what is exactly one of the biggest problems with Blops. Yes, all games would be better with dedicated servers, but there are plenty of games that can run (near) perfectly without dedicated servers. MW2, COD:W@W, COD4 to name a few from the COD franchise that have got it right.

i am so frustrated!
it is the lag. i get killed-i dont see anyone – i see them in replay.
ridiculous!
this has been happening all the time!
it’s like learning the server / lag issues to win rather than the game itself.
