Okay here goes nothing from the simple to the complex:

Basically it is mixture of several things that I can define my problem on. What happens is, when I go into a West or East coast server, or any server not in my state (Tx) I have very poor registration, and mild lag. Now this issue is something that is known and is common and I have been playing the game for a long time and other FPS games as well. The problem is that when I compare myself to other players in my area (including right next to me, and several towns over and just in the general area) our spray patterns/routing/ or registration is completely different. Now comparing my registration/spray patterns and routing from one coast to the other, I do 100% better in just Texas servers when I play. But when I branch out like I know I will have to and have always done, the game is getting to the point where it is a annoyance. There have been multiple forum posts on several Steam client sites and just sites in general related to gaming. And nobody really has a fix for the issue, people just say deal with it. The issue with dealing with it is that nothing gets fixed, you just put a mask on the problem that is going to pop up everywhere.

And the sad thing is, and the thing that most people do not understand is that, when I shot a wall with a clip of 30 bullets at a fair distance with little to no control in game re-coil, my bullet marks that I see are COMPLETELY different from someone else on their screen. And that someone else can be someone next to me on LAN, or someone in CA, or NY, etc. I know this is merely because of the difference in people equipment or routing.... possibly. But I have done multiple comparisons with other NVIDIA users and the issue is still present, and I have also compared with ATI users, and people with my GIGABYTE mboard and people with ASUS boards as well.

What I have done:
Reformated, updated all drivers, and also tried multiple beta drivers for NVIDIA. Made sure running right refresh rate, made sure game was up to date and fresh installed the game. Changed ISP from DSL to CABLE then to CABLE Turbo with time warner.

Help needed : ( any information I'm willing to provide only reason I didnt provide comp specs is because this post is already long : (.
