I'm constantly yellow or red lining on xbox live, yesterday I followed someone and knifed him in the back; perfect kill, except for the fact that I died and my killcam showed him turning around and shooting me. This has been happening way too much for comfort.

Also, they need to nerf propelled explosives AKA grenade launcher, RPG, etc. Hitting the wall 20 feet away and insta killing someone, while possibly realistic, is also retarded.

FRACK.

Same lag here, but its uncommon to be in red. usually always yellow and sometimes green. Its odd, you'd think the 12MB a second download speed I have in Korea would make up for lag due to distance from US servers.

Not true. It's not really an issue of your bandwith, it's an issue of their bandwith. Anything outside Asia is pretty unplayable.

Not true, its an issue of distance and hops between you and them.
Everything is quite fast but then you have to go through underseas cables to Japan, and through to the US. That is a long way. Any congestion at any point (which is common on the underseas cables) will introduce lag.

Lag is really killing my ninja/UMP .45 game.

I've been having to opt out of submachine guns for sniper/rifles because of the slight lag; that extra second is crucial for a run and gunner.

Sorry, that's what I mean to say. I have no idea what I wrote Razz Anyway, PC lag is fine, it usually pairs with [KOR] players
