The hit boxes and registry in MW2 were the most precise and accurate, what you shot is what you hit with pretty much no compensation for lag. In Black ops they tried to adjust it by making the hit boxes smaller and made bullet registry for latency factors of other players a bit better, which in turn made it a little harder to kill. In MW3 it's somewhere in between. The big thing is that the hit boxes of MW3 tend to lag behind the player so you can still hit the player after they run past your sights.

A proper host of a game (one with the fantastic connection) and a speedy client side connection will generate less bullet lag if the person is not skipping around already. With that being said check your internet connection to ensure you are doing the best you can.

I have a question about that: does connection speed matter? It looks like they try to match ping time so I assume everyone in the game is equal. Of course, I have no idea what happens when playing in a group.

Tonight is the first time I have experienced any sort of lag and others on the game were complaining so I assume it was a host issue.

Connection does matter. I have not seen to many bad connections that actually created lag in MW3 though. I have only have a handfull of matches that I experienced any lag.

I read somewhere (it might have been in this thread) that those with faster internet connections were somehow penalized in this game compared to those with slower connections. I don't know if that's true or not.
