ok so i have taken up quickscoping in COD mw2 and I am getting better although like its major hard!

Thing is sometimes and im not just saying this someone will be running and I know I have hit them in the chest even friends shout out come on because its a clear chest shot. Anyway they just plain run up and gun me down without even taking any damage.

When I watch their killcam not only did they not take any damage but on their screen I hadnt even shot yet? Compared with mine where I shot a good second before them?

And like sometimes I could swear I made it to cover but still die so I watch the killcam and even though on my screen I know i made it behind say the bin or car on theirs I am still running to it when I die?

I watched some quick scoping tutorials on youtube and some of the better guys compensate for this by aiming a bit in front of where they are going?

Anyone else experience this I was sure i had ok internet up/down speeds?

what OS are you running and are you using a wired or wireless connection?

You can't completely trust the kill-cam. It's bugged in many different ways.

The long and short of it is, yes, you were not host, so you lagged a little bit. It happens a little less now that the game searches for games based on ping, but it happens.

i think COD2 should have something similar as counter strike has, counter strike comes with a preset connection settings that make this frustrating things happen.

On cs you have commands to set in the console:

rate 25000/45000
cl_cmdrate 101
cl_updaterate 101

with this LAN settings you'll have more ping (if you usually have 40 ms this way you'll have 50-60) but this things won't happen.

Also the wireless connection creates loss/choke, loss = lost packets, so you see your bullet hit the player but the game didn't receive that information.

Choke it's like an altered packet, the bullet hit in another possition.

Cheers fellas, I am on wireless so maybe thats it, I knew I wasnt trippin though sometimes you really do shoot and they really dont die haha.

Rodri thats some clever dawg!
