Severe Lag Issues - PC

[Jarov27]

So I can't seem to play Ghosts at all because of this:

Every game and every lobby I play in at all times, I rubber band about once every 5 seconds. Just navigating the map is a complete nightmare. When I die in kill cams, I often see myself frozen there, and the enemy can easily shoot my frozen body. My firewall lets all connections to cod: ghosts through, and my router settings allow all incoming connections. Any advice? Because other people are not having this same issue.

This isn't just a server issue. It's also possible that this is a lagswitcher. It's in COD4, it's in MW2, and it's in MW3... I don't see how this is different.

It's not a lag switcher, because as I said, this happens in every single lobby I've played in. And everyone else in the same lobby is fine. My connection is fine in every other game I play, so I don't see how it could be on my end, however no one else being affected like this makes it difficult to figure out where it's coming from.

Definitely not a lag switch they are quite rare and surely not possible on PC assuming it still has dedicated servers as only the host can do that, if I remember correctly a few friends had a similar problem on the release of a few other CoDs also, hopefully this gets resolved quickly assuming it isn't at your end.

I watch the video, I see him being able to shoot you and strafe side to side. While you're lagging. He was able to register a "kill" and take score. I'm sorry for the accusation it's just I see it like a familiar thing.

On the other hand, @SoupyTwist brings up a good point. This happened at launch in other COD games. It sounds like Activsion/Infinity Ward hasn't looked into getting better servers, or better netcode.

I play CODGhosts on PS3 and I see a lot of lag - especially in killcam when the game skips a frame or two. In some cases, the kill cam freezes and skips to the "real deal." This tells me either someone has a crappy connection or the person is intentionally lagging (lagswitch). Then again, it can also be the netcode/servers.

Killcams can be unreliable yes even on a good connection. Like I said Lag switching is very rare and can only be used intermittently other wise they will just be disconnected, they also have to be the host to use it and will do it to everyone, not just one player.
