Call of Duty: Black Ops II

.....3 bars in B02 is definitely does not feel like 3 bars in MW2.

Since they're technically using the same engine, how is it possible ? I get that BO2 has the upgraded version of the engine, but won't that address the lag, instead of causing it to be worse ?

Because of the shoddy netcode that has existed since BO1. The last three games have been complete and utter **** in this regard.

BO2 and MW2 don't use the same version of the engine. BO2 is still using a modified CoD4 engine while MW2 and MW3 use IW's latest engine.

Dont be fooled, every CoD this gen uses the same engine, the same exact engine they've been using since CoD 2. They add a few bells and whistles, but it is the exact same thing. Its core is virtually unmodified. This is why CoD is feeling progressively aged and all but casual players and “FNG's” are getting fed up with Activision's crap by this point.

Netcode is the sole reason for this change. As much as I dislike MW2, the netcode was solid, and when you shot people they died. This has been unfortunately lacking in the past few titles, pretty unacceptable for a game using Hitscan.

The netcode is the same. It's been put under increasing stress as Theater, stat tracking etc. increase. As well as security systems. They can't cope with the new stuff.

I know, I never said it used an entirely new engine. The engine that was introduced with MW2 had many major modifications over the CoD4 one though, and was actually designed with things like controllable killstreaks in mind. That's why BO1 and BO2 are so laggy compared to IW's games, they keep cramming new features into an outdated engine that simply wasn't designed to handle them like the newer MW2/3 engine is.
