Black Ops II: GET THAT SON OF A BITCH OUT OF MY SIGHT





Oh my gosh! It's TheSandyRavage struggling manfully with Call of Duty: Black Ops II's endemic lag and frankly dreadful community. Doing good? You trollin' bro! Makes you wonder if there are algorithms in place to penalise the player when they're doing well?

Tinfoil hat time! It's generally accepted that the lag system rules against players with abnormally good internet connections, and certain killstreaks do tend to gravitate towards those with higher than usual scores per minute. Is it a massive leap to consider a system that raises and drops player advantage depending on their success? It certainly makes a theoretical sense from a economic point of view. If all customers are created equal, why draw attention to their lack of talent and potentially drive them away from the lucrative DLC packages you intend to sell throughout the year? Either way, consistency is a distant shore in Black Ops II.
