Latency lag during games

Hi, ELiT3. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide some assistance with your concern today.

Would I know if you tried connecting your Xbox via Ethernet connection, or is the latency inconvenience occurring no matter the kind of connection you choose?

In addition to that, is this occurring with all your games, or is just with a single game?

First of all Lag/Latency is always relevant to whom you are communicating with. Just because you can ping www.xbox.com and get 17ms doesn't mean that's what you will experience during game play. MW3 uses peer to peer gaming model, so one of your opponents
is the host (and therefore zero latency). Your latency between you and every other player is relative to their connection to the host. That's why there's lag compensation, but it's not very good in CoD and is most evident in the Kill Cam. You'll see the
other guy's perspective and it will look like you only fired one bullet if any at all sometimes. That's the difference in latency between what your xbox sees and what their xbox is seeing. Halo does a much better job at either masking this or eliminating
this.

Hello

The latency that your Xbox shows you in the network settings is not representative in actual online gaming. The Xbox pings the servers in Redmond during that test instead of choosing the nearest best result.

Are you experiencing any lag in game itself or are you just basing it off the number shown in the network test on your console ?

Nothing really new there. Lag/lag compensation/latency, we've all been in plent of games where stuff like that happens not just in MW3.

A high latency in the network tab can give a false positive as it might be trying to ping the Xbox servers in Washington.

As long as you are not experiencing any lag you shouldn't pay attention to the latency as it does not resemble in game latency
