If you have a rock solid 100ms ping, your actions will happen later than others but you wont experience many issues other than this. So you'll die because someone with a lower ping shot you first, and then the server will warp your view back to where you died. This is lag. But because your ping is consistent, the server can predict your movement with great accuracy and you wont warp around.

Jitter/loss cause you to warp around because the server is not getting the updates when it is expecting them, so it is just extending its predictions based on out of date info. Once your packets get to the server, then it corrects its interpretations and other players see you warp back to where you see yourself (unless of course they killed you while your avatar was bumbling around with predicted movement)

I realise you probably will not visit the link and read what one of the VM technical people have written about the issue but for others who don't just want to say VM are the best blah, blah, blah, here's a link that proves VM acknowledge there's a problem for some people.

As for saying there's thousands of people not having problems well there's probably an equal amount having them, certainly enough for VM to be investigating them with the XBoxLive folks and the Activision folks.

When the people you are trying to defend admit there's a problem how can you possibly keep saying there's not?
