| Some of us were in a game last night and we all had green connections. The enemy all had 2 yellow bars max, except for one guy who was the host with a 4 bar.
They rolled us in a way that makes me think that something was amiss. It is entirely possible we just took a beating, but there were good players on our team and it seemed like they all had a half second advantage on us.
I think we all finished with poor stats like 9-13, or so, and they were all hugely positive. 35-9 ish.
Is there any plausible explanation for this or did we just flat out get stomped? I wouldn't normally think something was up, but even the guys with terrible connections were smoking us. Shenanigans? Or old fashioned wood shed beating? |

| I was in that game and I think they straight up beat our assess. Still not sure how. They were very aggressive, working in packs, and constantly going for the triple cap. they always left 1 person to guard the other flags. we would get it, but the delay caused by one asshole was enough to let them keep a big lead. sucky game all the way around. i didn't have one decent connection or game last night. Should have stuck to LEGO rockband. |

| I played several games last night where jsavvy was the host. Some of those games I had a decent connection and was unstoppable, others I was pathetic. (I even left once, sorry UFO). Only a few games seemed "fair".That makes no sense to me. One person's performance should not vary that much from game to game, especially against a random sample of other players.
I have no idea how this game compensates for ping from one match to another but is does a shitty job. So no shenanigans, sometimes the game math is just poorly calculated giving one team a definite win-pro that takes any skill/reaction time advantages out of the game. |

| I hope it gets better with MW3. I hadn't played for about 2 weeks and I formed a lobby and we crushed everyone for the first 5 or 6 games and then, the BS began. The first one was predictable...we had a host in Bangladesh, so we bailed. The second one was the aforementioned fiasco. And then we got owned in a game of hardcore HQ on Stockpile. (But I was halfway hammered by then.)
I think success in this game is 50% skill, 50% connection to host. Sad. |

| Hopefully mw3 is better bc mw2 wasn't nearly as crappy with host migration and I didn't feel connection was nearly as big an issue. It was overrun with noob tubers and commando lunges! Oh and don't forget the 360 quick scopers! Which piss me off more than anything else. Sorry to our fellow quick scopers |

I think success in this game is 50% skill, 50% connection to host. Sad. I was hosting those bad matches. I wonder if I am not a 'good host' due to some Internets Tube Magic that I dont understand. Was it better when you hosted? That HC match on Drive In and Stockpile were really bad. I think the Stockpile was a combination. I agree with Nate, they knew what they were doing. We were only guests in their HC HQ world. I also think the connection didn't help. Lots of Camping opportunities and long ranges of sight on that map makes HC especially deadly. I do like CTF on that map, but HQ is made from the devil. |

| I like HQ for the most part. I just stink at it. The huge juicy chunks of XP make my gaping BO maw water. At least it did anyway...before I stopped Prestiging. The only way I would play this mode is if I was in with beast players who were way better than me so I could ride their back to the win. One night of The1 in HQ was worth 3 nights of me playing Dom. 10-25K a pop it seemed.
I hope MW3 has it... |

| It is the easiest game mode to get lots of XP. HQ is prob my favorite game mode for getting XP quickly. I have played more HQ on BLOPS than anything else. |

Likewise. Domination is my favorite game type but HQ is an XP beast so it's probably my most played. |
