As we all know console online gaming is just a infant in our vastly growing generation of gaming. So there is bound to be a few problems. Alot of gaming companies have some what found the way around of getting through, well the loading screen bug defect. For example: Call Of Duty has the slightest worries of loading screens during online interface. While sometimes you may stumble into a connection error and get kicked out the game, and the constant hacking inside certain call of duty versions. Now when we move onward to games like 2k11 or Little Big Planet then we see loading screen chaos at its best. Honestly, The connections of other internets from other players in your game at the moment can cause this.

What can we do about this problem? Nothing really, but as long as your internet connection isn't the worste one out there it "should" be fine. What should the game industry do about this? Make the first ever video game internet connection service? Possibly, but how long would that last in competition with all the other internet companies that also do phone lines and cable? If there was some way to perfect the smoothness of online play then one would feel like they are getting the most out of their hard earned money which is well spent on today's top games. Maybe there should be a tab in the online menu that allows you to game with others with the same internet connection percentage to allow far smoother gameplay. Who likes playing through games with lagging and loading screens? who want's to loose a game because they couldn't take their shot correctly because of constant lagging?

Video games are becomming the best thing since bottled water, so why not make the online experiance a thousand times more fun to play than how it is now by fixing these glitches and lags? Will there ever be an end to laggin and loading screens? Are we stuck to live with this? For now at least. Some feel online isn't worth the time of day because they cannot win a single game or even last a whole round playing because of canstant interruption. what can the game industry do about this?

all comments and feedback good or bad are welcome i believe that this is something to look at in the future of games. now as gamers we must find out how we can fix this matter. we are the one's who strive on killstreaks and live for our undefeated records. with laggs we cannot continue to perfect this craft of gaming .

Thank you and GOD BLESS GAMERS!
