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the server is not getting the updates when it is expecting them, so it is just extending its predictions based on out of date info.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)

Pretty much spot on.

If anyone still doesn't understand what lag is, try wikipedia:

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?

I didn't say there was not a problem? I said what he is saying is an absolute load of crap by claiming everyone can kiss gaming goodbye and then I pointed to the evidence of people still having no problems what so ever. I should of made that part of the quote bold.
