SniperFrog....CoD related

Never heard of this until doing some research on the hit markers of Black Ops.
Some are saying it's not lag but Treyarch over compensated the "SniperFrog" Program that Activision made Infinity Ward put in MW2 to help sell more games.
Sounds like conspiracy theorist bullshite but if you think about it a lot of games seem to have something similar. Online racing games will intentionally slow you down a little if you get too far ahead of the others.
About Sniper Frog
Thoughts?
If true Broke must have pissed SniperFrog off a long time ago and it never forgave him....except for they 1v4 clutch he pulled on S&D.

"After two weeks of exhaustive study, and pouring through thousands of lines of code, I have finally got the proof I need to bring this conspiracy to light. The programmers at Infinity Ward are good, but I'M better. Do not worry, all will make sense shortly...
Have you ever been playing MW2 and thought "that's not right, I shot him first!"? Maybe you ambushed an enemy from behind, blasted him with 5 rounds to the chest, and then he spins around shoots you once in the foot, and you die? Everyone blames lag. Well, it's NOT lag. It's something far worse, and it just may signal the end of "fair" gaming forever.
While investigating the recent claims, and going through the code of MW2, I made a discovery in one of the subroutines of the game AI. It's called "spfg.exe" (we'll call it SniperFrog since all will make sense just bear with me) and it's an AI subroutine that "evens" out the game by lending additional AI resources to a player, or by limiting the player in really cheap ways.
For example, you ever start playing really good, and suddenly you go on a death streak where you can't even barely MOVE without getting killed? You'll get slaughtered like 5 times in a minute? That's the SniperFrog program in action. Alternately, maybe you'll have been having a rough streak, and suddenly you'll go on an amazing killstreak and it feels like you can't do anything wrong? Again, SniperFrog.
The SniperFrog program is meant to "even" out the game. So that ALL players can feel like they're awesome at some points, even if that has to come at the expense of other players doing poorly. It's a plan by IW to sell more copies of the game. You CAN disable SniperFrog by going offline, SniperFrog is dependent on it's concious AI mainframe to work and it's only available online."

makes sense from a business standpoint I suppose.
Sucks for the competitive aspect of gaming, and I can see this becoming the new sticking point when bitching about online performance.
I genuinely didn't enjoy playing MW2. Wasn't fun for me. I seem to be enjoying Black Ops more. I don't care to get any deeper than that.

Pretty shitty IMO though. But, they gotta do what they gotta do to make that $$$$$$. Seems "sniperfrog" alway decides to kick on against me everytime i'm 1 kill from starting a killstreak

I love Black Ops. I enjoyed MW2 for a long time and got my money out of it but the hackers and bullshite cheese ruined that game. I only played as long as I did due to friends.
Why aren't you on my friends list anymore?

What time you getting on today?
Posted on 12/11/10 at 10:11 am to hg
Don't know. Only slept like 3 hours last night. Couldn't sleep actually. May run a few in an hour or so before I take a nap. You down?

i'll entertain the theory. mw2 surely felt more accessible to the newb than COD4. in addition to that, i think we've all experienced something like this: own some n00b consistently, and the next time you are face to face with him, despite your multiple headshots to his dome he blasts you seemingly without effort.

How does a guy figure this out only looking at lines of code? I think more info would be needed to believe this.

I'm not reading the article fully but from what it sounds he is just making excuses.
I am sure their are several lines of code and smaller programs running during multiplayer that arent running during singleplayer.

Very interesting, it definitely make sense. If I was in the business of making games, I would do this w/o a doubt.

Heard the same crap in MW2.
To be honest I don't buy into the SniperFrog crap.
Watch some of the best players, very very rarely do you see them have a bad game, let alone a bad outing.
