Even if it's not even in the top 3 of movies I'm looking forward to this year!
Prometheus is at the top of my list but things I've been reading in the Avengers thread have my expectations high here. I can't believe it wasn't filmed in 3D, guess I have a good excuse to take a 30 min drive to the IMAX theater.

Dude-- I'm so looking forward to Prometheus. After that it's gotta be Skyfall and dark knight. In that line up 4th ain't so bad!
Something tells me you'll still buy it and we'll see the same type of posts in the BLOPS 2 thread
Considering I'm mostly a PC gamer these days it's doubtful. I was a huge advocate for MW2 but was also the first guy to bash Blops in the Blops thread as I had it before anyone. I haven't played it since...have very little time on MW3...and see COD as a series headed one way; down.

You might be right, Mack. But I for one welcome the change of scenery. I've grown to appreciate black ops (thanks MW3!) and I think this one could be fun. And if it isn't... Who gives a ****? Lol!
For me, the COD series games each hold my interest far longer than other games, before I eventually get to the "bleh, not much fun anymore" threshold. And I haven't even cracked open single player on the last three editions!
Oh, BTW - in case anyone wonders where HuskerOmaha has been lately, he apparently has had his account locked, and can't post or send/receive PMs. Not sure if temporary or permanent, or why.

What? Pill? Account locked?
If you can hear me Husker-- I WILL be on this weekend!
Supposedly there will be a Title Update coming out in the next week or so that will be addressing some of the issues everyone has been facing. Below are a couple of posts from Infinity Wards' liasion to the MW3 community on their forums regarding the Lag Comp. Hopefully it'll make a difference.

Whether or not this lag issue is fixed is the determining point if I'm going to stay in the series anymore. If it can't, then I won't play Call of Duty anymore. I don't expect much better from Treyarch (even though they did a good job w/ keeping their ears open, something that IW doesn't seem too keen on.) since Activision will put them under their noose again and make them puke out a half-finished game that's tries to cater to, "everyone." I'm going to bet that the next Call of Duty game will end up like this one. Befuddled connection issues and rejection of the community.
I pray that you make this work, G IH A IN ID II.
Understood. We have a party matchmaking change going live soon that we feel will help the situation and we're looking at the net code changes in every incarnation the code was in from MW2 to date.
Cheers,

@ghandi, That's a pity, you don't have access to the live backend numbers for BF3, you could see the migration. More serously, you understand that we try to keep the pressure with this argument, we are so frustrated...because of lag/out of synch issue...we can't play this game like we want.
For me the next patch will be the last one, if you say "ok, i checked the online code, i don't see the issue...", it's good for me i can give up now.
To finish, here is my questions :
Did you find the issue related to the lag ? When the next patch will be release ? What will the next patch contain ?.
ghandi, i'm from France, i said on a well known french video game forum that i will report your answer. Hoping you understand my english lol
Anyhow, I understand the frustration you and others are suffering. We are currently reviewing in depth every code change related to the networking layer made since MW2. This is a painstaking process we hope bears fruit.
Omg-- this finally settles once and for all the argument that the net code WAS in fact altered since mw2 or else how would they be reviewing the changes? This actually makes feel better as so many people here had told me I was bonkers thinking mw2 felt better that I was starting to believe maybe I WAS bonkers! Lol! I still think mw2 is the closest to ideal lag/hit detection this series has gotten. I used to think black ops was bad but after playing cod4 for a significant amount of time late last year I think the two are about on par-- not nearly as good as mw2 but not close to being as bad as mw3.
Whatever alterations to the code were probably minor, probably to accommodate any new features. The principle behind the netcode and lag comp hasn't changed in a very long time, back to cod 2 at least. They may be doing something slightly different with the host, but that only accounts for 1/12 players in a match, and it's to even out a significant advantage.
The most constructive thing they could do is have someone who actually knows what they're talking about write an explainer/FAQ, because there's just too much misinformation out there. It might set some minds at ease, probably create more questions than answers, but at least it'd be a step in the right direction.

Well, the effect is anything but minor and, no offense, as you're not employed by IW and not in the gaming industry you'll understand if I take your assertions with a grain of salt.

You should. I'm just some dude on a forum. I might have a functional knowledge of how this stuff works from tweaking this nonsense from running quake and CS servers out of my dorm room back in the day, so it's no mystery to me why it is the way it is, and why it's not going to change. But I didnt write the code. That's why they need to get someone who did write it to explain why it needs to be the way it is. I've tried countless times, and its endlessly frustrating that I dont seem to be getting through....but why should anyone believe me? I'm still just some dude.

And I suppose you expect me to believe you're a dude, huh??? Hmmmmm???
You can't fool me with your voice. Just like we all know Steelhouse sounds like a dude, but sure as hell don't wear the pants in that family.
I thought Daekwan was the unicorn, and it was so funny because... well... unicorns are white.
Oh well - white unicorns can shoot, baby!
Was fun to be back - forgot how much I missed you guys and I wish I could have played with everyone, but I have a feeling I'll be on much more in the near future.
I will be in Aberdeen, MD for 2 weeks starting the 13th - if I'm not totally engrossed in Diablo 3 the whole time, I'm sure my XBox will be getting a workout in the hotel room.
