It's official, I am a little girl when it comes to playing Call of Duty, but I swear your honour, it's not my fault honestly, cross my heart, hope to die.
Die, a word I am ultimately familiar with. With a K/D Ratio so low, they had to turn the graph upside down so there was space for the downhill slope. I am starting to feel like Eddie the Eagle it's so bad.
My issue is my broadband, no, my issue is the game won't run right on my broadband. Yes it's the much discussed Latency issue. For those unfamiliar, latency occurs for those on the higher broadband speeds, whereby due to ping rate, your video is retarded so that those on slower speeds can catch up. It is essentially a balance of play to make things fair.
What I want to know is, who the hell came up with the equation for it, as I have a little something I would like to post them to say thanks. It's actually that bad, so bad in fact that I am now in the process of taking a 2nd ISP just for my Xbox 360. So instead of the super-fast 100Mb I enjoy at home, it will be a meagre 6.2Mb to prevent latency and avoid being the host. Pretty unheard of eh? Most people want a faster speed, well I sit in the alternate group on this one.
A lot of people naturally blame my lack of skill, but no it is more than the fact I have little skill. I don't claim to be brilliant at any game, other than Mariokart, which I would win whilst drinking a bottle of vodka with one eye closed. This is actually a really serious issue with the game itself. Just take a look through the official forums and you will see literally hundreds of others in the same position as myself.
The main issue is, it's actually a very boring subject, so the attention span of anyone listening will diminish faster than a cake round a fat kid. How then, can this be portrayed to Call of Duty and be taken seriously and resolved?
I have a solution but it will require the help of the entire gaming community. Please start knocking on all doors in your area, find a fat kid, promise more cake if he reports it on the forums. Obesity is up so this should not prove too hard a plan, they can have the cake, all I want is my slice of fun too.
