I remember a while back on either Hey, Guy or here that there was a thread confirming no theater mode for Ghosts (which I can't find). I wanted to know if there was anything actually linking theater to lag problems of any kind (and if you can find it, I would like to have a link to the thread I mentioned).

Thank you, kind gentlesirwomanmouse. I needed this because I couldn't remember what you said about it in the thread I mentioned and I wanted to use it because there are a lot of "I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GAME" guys on the CoD forums. EDIT: community.callofduty.com/thread/200803383#.UpKoHMSsjlM

Here is a completely unsupported (but likely accurate) viewpoint of theatre mode as someone who makes games for a living and having a knowledge of the industry:
COD has become a yearly staple. SONY and Microsoft were releasing new consoles, and prolly wanted to get other companies on board with making the move to the new consoles. With the fact that the new consoles have internal DVR's, it would be a good business move from Activision to say drop theatre so that way people can use the next gen DVR's as per a deal with SONY/Microsoft.
This is not anything confirmed, but companies as large as Activision and SONY do make deals like this. Similarly it is why your stats carry over for Ghosts from One Gen to the next. The next COD they prolly wont.

Alternately, the more cynical viewpoint: Since the original devs from IW had mostly gone, nobody who worked on the original Theatre Mode was still there. They never got it working perfectly and they quite likely said that rather than spend the time and money on setting this up, with a fresh team, that even with an amazing team, they couldn't get working perfectly, lets not spend the money.

I thought it was pretty obvious that theater was dropped due to the new consoles' built in recording abilities... So they dont care PC players~ I knew it.
