Ridiculous

Now having the chance to abuse an A grade connection, I decided to give Black Ops a go. I always knew that game was heavily connection dependent but not to the degree that I believed. I can easily get a chopper gunner every match whereas previously, it would require a lot of tactical - who am I kidding, it was camping - gameplay. The greatest advantage I've gotten was the superior hit detection. This is crucial in BO because there is no Stopping Power in BO, and guns tend to kill a lot slower. No one can get into the top 100 leaderboards for SPM if they do not have a great hit detection. It is literally the most important factor because it not only affects your gun but also your controllable killstreaks.

Having a great connection isn't nearly a big of an issue in MW2 as with BO. I've played on a F grade connection this whole summer. 40-60 kill TDM matches were becoming more infrequent - compared to when I was playing on a B grade connection - but overall, it was not difficult to have the highest KD and the highest number of kills every match. This is because MW2 runs more smoothly and implements Stopping Power. And because the map designs are much less linear, the game rewards players with intelligence. On the other hand, intelligence is a negligible factor in BO. This is simply because the map designs are so primitive. Even a dimwit can do well in BO with a great connection alone.

MW2, unlike BO, actually takes skill that is independent from connection. Sure connection helps but in MW2, a player can work around most shortcomings. This is why great players rarely complain about painkiller, noobtubes, or commando. Obviously they should be taken out of the game but they don't ruin the game like some people claim.

Even from a competitive viewpoint, MW2 > BO.
