Eh, its a start. Atleast we got patchnotes with this one ahah.

Its great that they fixted all these issues with .175, but the hacks are as bad as ever. The lag seems even worse, but I don’t know if the lag is IWNet, Host PC, or lag hackers, or just hackers mods tripping out IWNet. The gameplay online is almost unbearable. VAC is a dismal failure. IWNet is weak at best. I like some of the features, but the killed single player hardcore, we need dedicated servers so we can kick hacks, and we need XP back in private matches so we can simply opt out of the online catastrophe that is going on now. Its not fair for IW to force us to play online under these conditions so we can gain rank and XP that was available previously in private matches. They claim its to prevent abuse but there is no worse abuse than their current online gameplay with the hacks, aimbots, and lag. They have had 2 months to work on VAC and IWNet and the gameplay is worse than ever. I am non-stop getting booted from servers, locking up, unbearable lag, and my clan is almost never allowed to play together in one match even though there are only four of us because someone always gets booted or left out. What a mess.
You summed up the situation prettry well there my friend.
I think we’re all fed up.
