Will Ghosts Finally Get Rid Of Lag?

One of the most integral parts of the Call of Duty franchise (arguably THE most integral part) is the multiplayer, and the guys at Infinity Ward are doing everything in their power to ensure we get the smoothest, fairest and most entertaining experience possible.

Doubt it, Activision can't afford Dedicated servers so go peer-to-peer connections.

Basically, If you own a high-end connection and the host don't... Prepare for Lag-Comp.

Still, I'm staying away from anything COD after the disasters.

Adexus3959d ago

Activision can't afford dedicated servers? I highly doubt that's the reason they don't have them, I'd say it's more likely to be Activision not needing to throw anymore money at a game that's going to sell anyway.

Veni Vidi Vici3959d ago

They don't do DS's anymore because P2P relies on the gaming population to keep it alive. Once the new games come along, the older ones slowly die out, thus, killing the old game and forcing people to buy the new one.

The fewer people there are playing the game, the higher the lag (well, in theory. It's always been horrible post COD4). Kotick has been quoted saying he doesn't think it's fair that people can play a game for years and years and not have to keep paying money to do it. He said that shortly after COD4's success which just happens to be when IW implemented the P2P for MW2.

They've said in the past that they were going to use DS's in the new COD games but it was all a bunch of lies and half-truths. Never again. I'm done with them.

Yea you need DS....just started playing BF3 for first time and it's awesome.

Map is trash? ok cool....I never have to play it if I don't want to.

ravennevermore3959d ago

Thought Xbox One was running dedicated servers?

Cueil3959d ago

It's there for use if they want to... only if they want to be jerks wont they use MS Azure servers... my guess is they'll use MS Azure servers since it's not on their dime

Utalkin2me3959d ago

MS claims that all games will have dedicated servers. Of course they could do a 180, then say only first party games will have dedicated servers.

Mikeyy3959d ago

MS doesnt have dedicated servers for every game, there is no evidence of this, fanboys lied to you.

Baka-akaB3959d ago

There is no such thing as a big publisher that can't afford edicated servers . The rest is a matter of will and greed

Sharingan_no_Kakashi3959d ago

Edicated?

Must be fancy..

lol jk

OCEANGROWNKUSH3959d ago (Edited 3959d ago )

Has nothing to do with "affording" it... They can put cowpies in a game case, call it "Call of Doodie" and it will still sell 10 million copies...

awi59513959d ago

Thats why paying for online play is stupid. We pay to play online then companies use our bandwith we pay for to run their games. That's total BS PC all the way.

Matt6663958d ago

they can afford by how many millions they make every year, they just don't give a flying crap about there consumers. What even worse is people still support them year in year out even though its the same stuff every year...

I'm hopeing next gen all multiplayer will have dedicated servers I know Microsoft is investing in it,I'm sure Sony is as well.if you pay for multiplayer then you should have dedicated servers.

ravennevermore3959d ago

Why would Ghost have lag since Xbox One is running Dedicated Servers for all multi-player games?

MysticStrummer3959d ago

It depends on where those servers are, and on the connection between the user and those servers.

InMyOpinion3959d ago

Maybe they will offer it as DLC?

USMC_POLICE3959d ago

Will the us government stop giving millions of dollars to hostile countries? No so I don't expect cod to eliminate lag neither.

Donnieboi3959d ago (Edited 3959d ago )

Wtf u ranting about?

USMC_POLICE3959d ago

Its funny I have disagrees if you don't believe me look it up!!

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth799d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo799d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy799d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad798d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX799d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam799d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje799d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad798d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude799d ago (Edited 799d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1760d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1760d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1759d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1760d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
