Re-fucking-diculous.

Is Skyrim worth the money? I think I'm either going to trade this POS in, or I'm going to burn it and send the ashes to Activision with a healthy dose of my piss mixed in with it.

Mw3 compensates lag and slows good connections to try and "equal" the playing field. Basically this means of you have a good broadband line every little welfare rat on 56k gets an extra second or two to look at you before you even see them. Best way to fight back is lag out your own connection. I've found running utorrent on my laptop seeding the fuck out of the Og thundercats series has been very effective at limiting my handicap and even at times giving an advantage

This was on his killcam. He didn't,t see me. He aimed at a wall and fired.

I didn't know that about the lag. I'll give your way a try. I've been unplugging everything but the Xbox wen I play.

Not to give MW3 any slack, because it's filled with dumb shit, but when I have the game hooked up to good speakers, I can hear people coming around corners. If I was trying to get penetration kills, I'd do the same thing and aim at a wall when I hear someone coming. That doesn't excuse other bullshit, but it's something I've done in the past that works.

Were you in hardcore? I smoke a lot of people through walls by orienting the sound dot on the minimap forwards. You also may have been in a popular spot. Pull his video from the lobby and see what he does. If he does it regularly he may be wall hacking and you need to report him. Caught some kids boosting that way last night. They were very slick about it, nearly got away with it

You ideally want to clog up your upload to the point you get between 2 to three bars.

Well Farcry 2 has turned into a grind fest and Im only 20% done. Gonna have to mix things up a bit like running over more zebras.

Because rewarding those who cant afford good internet is smart...Fuck that, I'll stick to BF3.

MW3 makes me want to punt a baby clear across the Hudson.

I thought you were such a cod fan? I thought we argued at this point before that cod is craptastic ....

If you're a steam user and are buying games on the Xmas sale then you get gifts. I bought PayDay last night and I got a 50% off coupon. YEA!
