Yeah it happened, he threw a c4 on to A dom in underground for a multikill and then killed a sniper for the last kill. Lynx came up with a good private game, riot shield, javelin, c4 and smoke on dome.

That's my go to set up. Last game Sunday night, sniping in Village, tired & started off horrible 1-3. Switch to MP7 ended up 21-4. It's kinda like cheating

Always do that when sniping or running a shotgun, if things aren't going well.

God dang headphones are kaputt!! Felt like such an outsider playing the other night

yimrsg · 21-02-2012 7:15pm

Spent pretty all of last nights games swearing constantly about the connection. Figured out today why as it was the vodafone router assigning other internet devices the same IP address as the xbox causing me to lag uncontrollably.

I thought something was up today, I was the only one in the lobby with 3 bars :mad: I'm with VF aswell, any help would be appriciated! I've no idea about IP, routers etc.

I tried setting up xbox live as an allowed application through this link:
http://192.168.1.1/en_US/basic/config_appli.htm
Just pick it from the drop down menu.

password and log in is vodafone

You then set up the matching IP address on the xbox and hope that the crappy vodafone router doesn't assign it to another device, which mine has a tendency to do. Doing all that doesn't give me more than a 3 bar at best but it might be worth a shot for you.

Cossax · 21-02-2012 8:38pm

Couple of good boosting games there lads!

Received a message last night from a bloke on the other team...

"8th prestige and you're still using the Type 95 - your (sic) sh*t"

Frankly, I wasn't aware that as you prestige and progress, certain guns are morally removed from your remit and you must use ever decreasing powered weapons. In that case, I reckon level 15 should merely entail elastic bands and secondary weapons of spitting bits of chewed up paper through a pen!

*By the by... I rarely rarely use it (think I used it for one full prestige and have it on one out of 8 classes)...

Ha, did anyone else here ever make those 'guns' when you were younger? It was a plank of wood, about a foot long with a clothes peg firmly tied at one end.

Your 'ammo' was an elastic band and the metal spring taken from other clothes pegs.

Catch the elastic on a sprig at one end of plank, metal spring is held in the clothes peg at other end and bam! Homemade eye taker

dont know much about the vodafone rounters but can you not define a scope of IP addresses that are assigned by the router then give the xbox a static IP outside that range so that the DHCP server function on the router doesnt assign it out to any other device? I know for example on my old errorcom one i only allowed the DHCP to assign up to 5 addresses at one time, then put the xbox on a static outside that range so it always had the same address

or does the router allow for MAC filtering so it always assignes the same IP address to the same Network MAC address ie the xboxs network card? I know some routers wont fo MAC filtering but its worth a shot if it can to stop it happening again.

Myself and another fella actually dipped into the pockets and made a"sound" investment in clothes pegs.

My vodafone router is on a 22/23 hour cycle where it'll disconnect from the internet for 5 minutes and leave me stranded in limbo from xbox live. Some weeks, I won't notice the constant resets, others it's all up in my grill. Sometimes I've to sign out and check the xbox live connection which takes another 5 minutes. It's one the joys of vodafone.

I have it set up that only whitelisted mac addresses are allowed to join via wifi but what I might do as a trial run is disable the wifi when I'm on xbox live and see if I get a consistent connection with only the xbox connected via ethernet cable. At least I'll be sure that no other device is on the same IP address.

Faolchu · 22-02-2012 12:37pm

you may be able to set it up so that it always assigns the same IP to the same mac address, i know the netopia routers could do this for errorcom.

but like i said have a look at the DHCP settings on the router, it normaly specifies a range of IP addresses it assigns from, in your case it will be from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254) change this range to say 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.30 that means the DHCP Will only give out 10 addresses, then in your network settings for the xbox change it from dynamic IP to static and assign it any address other than those in the scope you just set up and also dont includse 192.168.1.1, make sure the gateway address you assign is the address of your router (192.168.1.1 in your case)

i find its strange that the router also disconnects form the internet have you got it set up like this or is this SOP for vodafone routers?

whitlisting teh MACs on wifi is a good precaution to take, that or not broadcasting the SSID

x43r0 · 22-02-2012 12:46pm

Another tip I found useful for improving wireless quality is to check that your network isn't using the same channel as another network nearby like a neighbour.

Ours was sharing a channel with next door so I switched it and my speeds doubled straight away

Faolchu · 22-02-2012 12:50pm

fair point x i know some dell laptops have an option to dispay the availible networks and teh channel used, so i usually pick an unused one. mosy wifi routers use auto assign for the channel and tend to assign to channel 1, 5 and 7 i found.

I'll have a play around with it later on if it's still pissing me off. I'd go into a a lobby and notice that everyone else has 4 bars and I'd be the only one on 3, other times my connection would go and then everyone else in the party gets booted from the game too which makes you feel great disconnecting your party. I've only noticed that happening playing MW3 so Black Ops must not drop parties if one member loses xbox live connection.

No idea if the resets are SOP, think I remember reading on the vodafone forum there was an update for the router so downloading that might stop them. Really appreciate the help though.

@ X the 360 is the only device using a cable. You've got to have your priorities.

What are these lavish expenses you speak of?

I was sharing a room till I left that house
