If you want to avoid cheat-downloaders (these people are NO hackers!): Too expensive which is good for all clean players since we only pay once for it
That's covers 95% of all cheats because most of them have new steam accounts and/or fresh new bans on record - so they don't care anymore about their steam profile and want to cheat in another cheap online FPS game.ĭLC maps are not cheap which means that caught cheats will pay couple bucks for the main game to keep on cheating but they won't pay for the DLC maps over and over again. Most cheats get banned, open up a new/free steam account and rebuy MW3 for cheap money and continue to cheat. I still play and enjoy the game since I decided to play the DLC maps 1, 2 and 4 with almost no cheats at all for a simple reason. I played with people from US, Canada and Australia (where a european player expects a high ping) when one of them had a high ping and the other one from the same country had a good ping.Ĭheat-Downloader are not new to FPS games and surely not in CoD titles. It's called LAG Compensation and can be found in any newer CoD titles with P2P system (all since MW2 but BO2)!Īlso the distance to the host does not necessarily end up in high pings. Find co-op news, reviews, and more info about this game. The Dev's of MW3 coded it that way so the game engine will balance hardware and connection differences. Co-Op gameplay information about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on PC. one or more players (bc of slow internet and/or NAT TYPE strict ) have a high ping but the rest has a good ping means the game engine causes lags for anyone else in that lobby. the host (player) has only slow internet and/or NAT TYPE strict = all players have high pings (all players have only 1-2 bars shows that it's caused by the host) Could be a US, Korean, Japan, Dutch, France, German, RUS, Belgium or US host. You play with any other player in the world and one of them is picked as host.
Any ranked (regular) lobby uses P2P system which means there are no european servers. MW3 has only unranked server that needs to be activated in the main menu game options. And the normal lobbies are mostly europian servers with a bad ping. Originally posted by Russman:The chances of finding a regular lobby than a hacked, 18-player lobby is 1:5.
