lag isnt the games fault BUT it will be less prone to lag as it will have dedicated servers well for pc at least
Lag is the games fault actually. It's to do with servers and the code it's written in. Obviously some is down to your own connection but the cod servers are overcrowded. Just watch the screen when harriers come in. That's the game lagging.
And giving pc dedicated servers is a cop out. Pc has to be the smallest market for cod.

erm the 360 and ps3 dont have dedicated servers at all for modern warefare 2 one player is host and its their response to handling requests that dictates the response speed and subsequent lag.
the issue we have is that almost all of us run adsl so have much slower upstream transmission speeds this is where dedicated servers come in handy as they can respond to requests much quicker as they are running much faster connections also the process of collating the location of all the action is done on the server rather than one persons xbox so it is able to do it much faster.
example i cant host for s**t in modern warefare 2 it is unplayable for everyone else bar me as im the host i have the most upto date info on the actual locations on the players
its only the games fault because it doesnt have dedicated servers BUT if the host had a decent connection you wouldnt have any issues !
well when I'm host I can't kill any1 and every1 else is fine and it's always been that way.
just as a point of interest when hosting in modern warefare 2 you can send and receive about 300MB a hour compared to modernwarefare where in a hour you used to send and receive about 20MB apparently
when you press the select button in game and it comes up with the green yellow or red bars they are obviously a representation of your connection quality (latency (lag) ) to the host if there is only 1 person thats dark green usually obviously they are host if your hosting and everyone elses bars are all red than its your connection thats at fault sometime all it takes is one person to have a really bad connection to screw it up for everyone even if they arnt host as the host has to wait to get the updates from them to pass them out to everyone else withought dedicated hosts the game is massively dependent on good quality connections where as before if you had a poor connection it was really only you that suffered

the match making when it says about ping isnt saying what your ping is its trying to find the best quality match possible
in busy periods you are more likely to get better lower ping games as there are more games to chose from at odd times you may get stuck into games that are 150ms + that doesnt mean you have a bad connection it just means there were no better quality games available BUT if you happen to have a good connection chances are you will then be host unfortunatly for me i have a very fast connection low latency BUT for some reason i cant host for s**t but because i have a low latency connection i keep getting made to be host so have to quit but i know its down to my connection

pingtest.com isnt a relevant test really as your not testing the latency to the other players but to a datacenter somewhere with a fast connection your opponents arnt sat in a data center with a 100MB synchronous connection they are sat in a house with quite possbly a flaky 2mb adsl connection that they can only get a 128kb upload on
S3, Polo
just tested my home connection to manchester on pingtest.net
30ms 4ms jitter 0 packet loss and i cant host yet i have a supposedly great connection
