Update:
If you still have issues after the hotfix, delete your config_mp.cfg file and restart steam so that a new one is created. This seems to have fixed many player's lag issue. This may fix the server list issue as well.
Info below taken from various forums.
1. Network Lag vs Computer stutter (Maxing out your cpu)
. If anyone doesn't know the difference between a stutter and a lag-spike, it's when your CPU (or GPU) can't handle the process on your computer and gets maxed out causing a freeze-frame or "Stutter". "Lag" is when the connection between the host or server and the client has a problem, causing high ping which adds the rubber-banding known as lag
Most users are reporting cpus hitting 100% load consistently online. You can try to turn off background programs and even minimizing the graphics, but in this case it seems like the graphics card is not the issue. Still if you want to try and turn off AA and Shadows, some users are reporting a smoother game.
Kotaku discovered a forum response from a Treyarch employee staying that “the PC server browser was crushing the back-end”. We also have confirmation that the issue(s) is/are known and they are being addressed.
Some are suggesting a hot fix or patch may appear in a few weeks but who knows.
-There was about 70,000 players on the PC during launch day, while there was about 1,000,000 XBox LIVE players. It's pretty obvious who gets priority.
