The connection is the sole reason i dont even play it anymore. Havent touched it in nweeks maybe one day they will fix it but until then im not gunna rage cause of connection drops left and right. I think out of 10 games only 1 will play through so whats the point?

well maybe you need to pick a server not so close to...
 
oh wait, playing on a console?
 
boom.

I have a bad Internet and usually low bars, but do fine...

Sometimes the host is the worst person to be. The game will give you you host lag to balance things out that is often worse than the lag that others are experiencing in the game. You end up middle of the road to less than middle as far as your ping goes.

Yeah if he doesn't know how it's broken he clearly is new to the internet. "

Fuck you Modern Warfare 2.

Good thing I have the PC version. I got sick of always having 3 bars in MW2 just because I lived in Canada.

Except it's far from broken to a lot of people, and with the patches the people having problems with it are probably in minority but mentioning that on the internet wouldn't really be good sensationalist journalism.  "

I average 30-10 on FFA's and my Internet quality is inconsistent at best.
 
Wait. Are you just bad at the game? Aw...

Oh enough, we know the fucking host has a minor advantage.  Shut the fuck up about it.  It was the same in Cod 4 MW2.  If you're still bitching about it, stop playing

Ya the hosting problem is a big pain in my ass.....almost 1/3 of games drop.

Some of this shit is ridiculous (console). Lag is probably the number one reason why I die. I really wouldn't complain if it weren't for the fact that I played a ton of MW2, and most of my deaths wouldn't have happened had I been playing on MW2 instead of blops. I love the improvements to the gameplay, but lag is just a monster issue on PSN right now, and it really kinda needs to be fixed.

My friend and I both try to play together but he lives in Ontario and I live in Washington. When we join a game it either lags for me or lags for him, fucking bullshit. With a dedicated server we compromise by picking a server located in the middle of the US but can't do that here.
 
Back to BC2, the game is better anyways.

Ah, the fun times when MW2 had me host 10 games in a row on a daily basis. Really miss that.

LMAO. COD on PC.... have fun with that. "

That's why you camp when you don't have a full bar,  running and gunning with low latency is just asking for a low K/D ratio

I watched my friend play online for a while, and it was usually fine, but several times there were connection errors or just laggy games.  I don't get matchmaking because it doesn't even put you in game with similarly ranked players, so if it's not going to give you fair games, it could at least give you a good host.  Anyway, over here with the PC version, I can be all smug because lag or host advantage is just not possible :)

PC version is absolutely fine. Lag is a non-issue when you can choose from dedicated servers. Oh, but console players wouldn't know about that ... 
Don't try to back a losing argument next time.

499 Shots in a Death Machine, 499 Hit Markers. I had full connection, he was sitting in the back glitched >_>

Black Ops plays fine for me on PC as well.  News to me.  I'm curious now which one I should trust more.  A random internet article one day after the games release or my own personal experience from a few days ago.  Well, guess I wasted 60.00 on a broken game. "

I live in Michigan and play Blops on the 360 with my brother in Florida pretty regularly; aside from the odd laggy game we generally have few significant problems with framerate or host advantage.    I consider myself at best in the upper range of average skill level, so I usually just attribute bad games to just that. 

Whilst what you say might be slightly exaggerated, the host seems to have an advantage in the game.

once again, you console guys got fucked. 

Maybe you're just bad at the game?

Having played the game both on PC and on 360 (my brothers copy) 3 bars is completely playable and the tiny disadvantage you get is insignificant. A good player can still do very well and easily top the charts with 3 bars. Your only real disadvantage is in CQC situations where split seconds matters (like knifing) Play smart a 3 bar connection is no excuse for playing badly. Only when you get into 2 bar territory do you have to start truly camping to not get worked over. At 1 bar just don't play online (you can but it is a terrible experience).
 
The PC servers do have advantages like selecting the good servers and actually being able to see your ping and not that 4-1 bar bullshit, they carry some downsides too.
3arc messed up on dedicated servers by not letting you do ANYTHING between games when playing on PC servers, this means you need to completely quit the server to do any changes to your class set-ups, buy pro perks or contracts, etcetera ... which kind of sucks.

My favorite mini game in CoD:BO is try and stay with your party on the PS3.  
How to play:
Get into a Party of 2 or more
Join a game lobby.
Wait for game to start
see if your whole party made it into the game. 
 
Fucking hardest game to win.
