Presume he means checking the stats in previous COD's vs. the in-game performance of some of these players.
I watched back some footage - it appears on the times I do bad, to be fair, most of my shots are landing. Whilst this doesn't account for any timing/sync differences that lead to "super bullets" where I get instamelted, it does at least point to something else going on.
What's happening however is the gun-kick/recoil, especially horizontally, is wild. Could recoil have been adjusted in the most recent patch? I've retuned my attachments now to focus on recoil and did notice an immediate improvement.
However, this still doesn't account for how I was able to laser people with the exact same weapon for a full week prior. Unfortunately, I don't save any gameplay of my good games - only bad games, so I can't compare the two. I'll look to do this going forward.

Exactly my experience ^. I've had games where I can burst 5 bullets into someone knowing I've got the kill but the past day or two I'm shooting 20+ bullets at range to get a kill. I'm jumping around corners pre-aming/firing knowing someone is there but they kill me instantly lol. Watching the killcam it just shows me jump in slow motion, fire a shot or 2 while they pump me with lead. Defnitely feels like I am synced to the server half a second behind everyone else. Looked up people's stats and these negative kd players seem like they're 3-4KD players in previous cods
Who knows what they're tweaking/manipulating network side. If it was the servers performing bad then it should be affecting our opponents as well but they seem to have a huge advantage atm
