I think you will find it is the game, though not entirely. I never lagged on mw2 apart from when the host had really bad connection, at which point host migration would occur. However since switching over to black ops I am almost always at 3 bar connection, therefore I'm a second or so behind the players with 4 bar connection. I never had this problem with mw2. However, if the black ops matchmaking worked a bit better, maybe it could pick better hosts that gave everyone a better connection. (don't think I'm hatin' on black ops, it prefer it over mw2 due to less noobs)
