Playing with a bad connection is like playing in another level of nightmare mode.
Every single hit you feel will get you killed and you can just spay bullets all you want, the only one getting killed is yourself.
It's probably not a one shot kill for your enemy, but because of lag you don't even know somebody is there shooting at you, it feels as if you die instantly without any good reason. On the other hand, when it takes two full mags and a few melee hits to take down one guy, it's just not fun anymore. Due to lag again, the enemy usually isn't there where you see him, but the delay tricks you into shooting into the walls. Once I tried to go around this problem by shooting ahead of my target, where he should have been, not where I see him, i got a few headshots like that, by shooting into the air, I estimated approximatively a one second delay.
A fun fact, whenever my connection is trolling again, it feels as If I move around a lot slower in the game, I didn't know what could cause that but there seems to be a clear correlation between movement speed and connection quality. When I have all bars green, I run around like a crazy mthrfkr, it's almost unreal, and it can change from game to game (i use the same load-out off course). I wonder if the same is true for stealth...
