Anyone that plays "Call of Duty" online knows that there's always something wrong with the online component of the game. While "Call of Duty" is in most cases, the best in it's class when it comes to online shoot outs, there's still problems.

 

As with any online FPS game, be it "Halo", "Battlefield" or "Call of Duty", players start to notice that can in some cases can break the game for them. Stories of lag compensation (giving people with slow connections a two or three second head start) are running across the internet about "Black Ops 2", the newest COD game.

 

That's not the worst of it either, and you'd think that too. There's also issues with SMG's being too powerful, or the other weapons being underpowered, depending on who you listen to. David Vonderhaar, head of Treyarch and lead designer of "Black Ops 2" has claimed that there are no overpowered guns in the game.

 

Now that "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" has been out in the wild long enough, players will be getting their first update for the game, one that changes the way the game is played anyway. Playstation 3 owners already have this update, and there are PS3 specific updates listed here. Xbox 360 owners should get the update over the weekend.
