I am not as familiar on the details of matchmaking. Except for one the one where they soon will put quitters with quitters, etc.
I can tell you that if you are in a party the WORST ping in that party determines your game.
But in my opinion , blaming the update or blaming nerfing a gun is a waste of time. Those things dont change that much. Just look at the game updates that say nothing about lag fixes and then you get a ton of people with conspiracy theories that say they didnt want to put lag fixes in the update section, etc.
It could be something as simple as them doing a maintenance job in Kansas switching the lines, whatever.
you are at the mercy of the opponent sometimes and if he has a 200 ms delay there really isnt much you can do. Basically your delay and his delay get added together. Even if he is throttling his connection which happens there is nothing you can do.
The internet has so many variables that determine your game. Just be glad that the one constant is everybodies console. If it were constantly different computers playing that would really desroy your game.
It used to be where during the final killcam I would always block the red bar people in the lobby but now I dont even have a solution. Best you CAN do is make sure your connection is always clean. Read Macs Elagphant thread for suggestions in the MW3 forum.
And as far as I remember the killcam is a 20 FPS video without lag comp in it.
Play some titanfall and coming back to Ghosts will be a breeze. Seriously.
My cold is catching up to me . Gotta sleep.
