You should know by now any time a small change is made or a patch is released, people play a few games encounter some lag and scream the game is broken.

You would think with a new game every year and P2P gaming people would know by now this is a connection lottery.

You used to have games in MW2 where you would have either have a great connection or a bad connection, but now in MW3 it just seems that the connection is either playable or just plain bad.

I really hate being host now because everytime I quit because I can't touch people I'm usually the host, which to me makes no sense.

As I said before, they have made it awful for the host now, being someone who gets host 9 times out of 10....its more than a bit depressing! I've barely been playing it, its so frustrating when you get host.

I've had that in COD4, MW2, Blops and this. Infact I've rarely been in a game where someone hasn't been talking about a player killing them round a corner, killing them seemingly in one bullet or having some unkillable **** on the other team.

I'm just used to it now. I really notice the difference when I go to play gears, I never feel i'm losing out to lag unless the dedicated servers are down or i'm not playing on them. Then it's like playing COD. :D

I prefer the host getting bummed, rather one player than 9 others because I never get host :D

Well that's the thing I pull host 50% of the time or more and my connection is far from bad, but I'm being punished because one player (say from the USA) in a party of people has a bad connection to me because he's playing with a load of Brits (as an example). So to compensate for his crap ping I'm getting a ton of artificial delay thrown on to my connection, where as everyone else who has a good connection to me can drop me like normal because their ping is better then mine and I'm the ****ing host! :p

I know because it passes the host over when I rage quit :p

You could used to tell easily at the beginning of the match who the host was as he is the only person in the game with 4 bars and everyone else is connecting to him, but in MW3 I don't believe it does this any longer (or I just haven't been quick enough to see). Even in the middle of the game when everybody is 3 bars the host is also 3 bars because of the lag compensation, so it's difficult to tell.
