No doubt connection is a factor but each mode has a flow to it or you get lucky and come across a team that can't work the map.

Also the amount of places you can just drop to the ground and pick up 2 or 3 kills is mental all the while moving about. Also chuck in the bolt holes each map has if your willing to camp out.

I guess i'm just saying theres quite a few ways to hit an M.O.A.B some harder than others and sure some are luckt with connection but the way to look at it is in every round theres a guy it takes half a clip before he dies and he just puts you down with one bullet but there's not an M.O.A.B every round.

Yes a lot of it is being in a good connection game meaning you are not the one experiencing lag. What that really means is on your screen your weapons will kill in the intended amount of hitmarkers and you will be able to visually sustain damage from the enemy and not having your deaths look like insta kills. When I see the MOAB videos and have my moab or other long killstreaks it amazes me how much more damage I sustain without dying. When I am playing from behind my screen never goes red just skips right to death.

It does not necessarily mean the other players are lagging out all the time, but just in that particular game the connection for you is just playing as it was intended to.

I have thought the same thing for awhile.  In no way am I as good as most of these guys and even on their set up I wouldnt get as many as them or maybe any but the vids posted on here usually make me scratch my head and think....wow.....guys are supposed to go down after that few bullets.  Its not that they are getting the benifit but that the game is actually working proper for that match.

I have posted that same thing on many of the MOAB vids....just dam I wish guys died like that for me.

Again I am not good and not saying that skill doesnt factor but I would like to see some of these guys play on my set up.  I die the second I see my enemy a lot of the time and thats a great example by the OP about his friend not doing as good.  I often wondered about that type of scenerio.

Probaly one of the reasons I stopped using the UMP, 6 hitmarkers near point blank range... At least I can still pull top of the team the majority of the time though.

But I have had a couple of MOABs in infected (I hate it when I see the TK go past me and miss on the screen and then I die) and have been close in public matches a few times also.
