Good game despite its minor bugs. I game from work mostly as the connection is top quality there. When the game selects me as host it allows me to clear the game of the things that make it unplayable such as cheaters and lag. (Most players claim to be a good host or have a good connection, this is what I game on: http://www.speedtest.net/result/6887526429 )

Overall, MW2 is the best cod imo (under the right circumstances)


-----
-> Cheaters (aimbot [player aimlock], wallhacking [seeing through the wall], texture hack [manipulated textures in-game which give you a viewing advantage])

-> Lag and poor host selection (Lag means failing to keep up with another or others in movement or development).


To a player:
• lag can cause your aim to seem `off` and result in a lot of hitmarkers
• lag will cause your shots and explosions to appear late (delayed) on your screen - you may think you knifed someone and then a few moments later, you`re dead and you think BS. Either you, the other player or both of you had a lag which resulted in what you saw.
• lag can cause rubberbanding (warping) and or player teleporting
• lag can cause your players position to reset (while it appears as if you ran half a mile to a building, you could find yourself back where you were a few moments later, as if you did nothing)


So if you have a slow internet connection, it`s not a good idea to run background downloads or uploads while you play, or stream music or watch video content. If your internet is slow, downloads/uploads could be done overnight or during the day when you`re out. Music could be downloaded to your PC and played locally. Videos could be watched from another device like a laptop, tablet or phone (preferably on another network e.g. mobile data, neighbours wifi etc).

To summarise, lag is annoying and players should do all they can to reduce their chances of ping spikes as it`s possible to lag in any and every online game no matter how good the `server` is.
