You're not entitled to it though..no offense. You can play campaign.
Edit: Also, I just realized you said 'since BO2'. The connection bars on the scoreboard aren't accurate, plus getting host isn't noticeable imo on that game. 4-bars means nothing on BO2. The game drops frames and the hitbox doesn't match up with the sprite/avatar anyway.

I'm in Nebraska.. so close to Kansas' Google Fiber. :cry:
It's more of the fact that in GBs and you're constantly getting one shotted by an M8, while yours is taking a minimum of 3 but usually 4 to drop someone. Connection has always been an issue for me. I'm more than willing to pay for a better ISP, I just don't have any available to me. I'm hoping once I move back to the NW to get Google Fiber and maybe that'll help with the issues. Pub stomping gets boring though, I hit masters in league play a bunch of times before I got bored and I rarely felt that a loss in a GB game was due to the other team actually being better, although it did happen, we played some really fucking good teams here and there. It just gets frustrating when you lose a game because of your connection, not because of skill. It's something that's always driven me insane and COD games (all FPS really) have just gotten worse and worse in this. I don't need to play campaign and I've had over a 2kd in every single Cod for pubs without ever trying. I only finished the Ghosts campaign 8 months after the game was out, I don't even touch it until I'm only doing GBs and my team isn't online.
I always really enjoyed the COD games and I BO2 was probably my favorite one if it wasn't for all the bullshit. The maps were great, guns were great and I really enjoyed the gametypes, even zombies on Town was fun when I got bored. No reason to talk shit and say I should "stick to campaign" because I'm unable to purchase a good ISP though, just an ignorant statement and it makes no fucking sense.

Tell me about it. I live in a large metropolitan and have awful choices to pick from.
I do have Comcast available and I had them when I first moved here. They don't offer boost in my particular area so it would have been $50 more a month for 20/5, instead of my 20/1. I had 25/15 at my old house on Centurylink but got downgraded when I moved literally 10 minutes away, that's how spotty their coverage is. It's just aggravating. Most of the guys who have played with me can vouch that I'm not a bad player, I'm not the best by any meas but I usually hold my own against good people and I'm unstoppable on my host. I just don't think it's fair that I can go 8-5, 7-6, etc... on their host and then easily drop a 12-1 - 15-0 game in SnD when I've got the obvious host and anyone who's played without it, damn sure knows when they have it. The win is still somewhat satisfying but I really do hate when I know I'm just eating and killing people in one shot, it's bullshit.
