How dare you:p



Thats me there, not too good with internet connection speeds and their relevance to gaming, but care to gimme the low-down on that? Why I'm often picked as the host and why I'm often kicked when I am!? Ping is high is about all I know...

Yeah mate your upload and pings are killing the game there.

If the upload is slow your commands and if your the host anyone elses commands will appear slow.

Ping times will have the same effect. Ever notice sometimes you see someone jutter across the screen in a kill cam? Thats erratic ping times in action. Get on to UPC for a line test. Also run a CMD -t ping test t a near enough domain and see whats what.
Also make sure your not downloading or anyone else in the house is downloading when your testing too.

So it seems the problem is worse on the ps3 with being able to teleport across a room .

It doesn't happen too often but when it does its pretty annoying. I can't really compare the two but my post might make it sound like it's common.

Torrents are a ****er for your bandwidth

Yeah, then why does it pick me as host!? Surely someone in that room has a better connection!??

See if your pings or speed are erratic they may be good at time of host selection then drop or become intermittent.

Ideal set up would be xbox direct to modem and nothing else connected to this.
Meaning nor routers no comps, no downloading no iphones no nothing.

Those stats arent great though so I would call up UPC and get a line check done.

I tend to play hardcore TDM/SnD, 1 bullet kill from an UMP means I don't see a lot of commandos, but there's definitely a few times guys have bent space-time with their knives.

I'd like to see the perk tweaked - if it wasn't increased melee distance, instead pressing the button put you in a stab stance (like priming a frag grenade), then it automatically released when someone was in range. I'd be happier, it's still a perk because using it you could just balls to the wall charge someone knowing you have a chance of stabbing.

I find last stand a bit annoying, but only because at range I don't like to finish people off. Screw anyone who wants to have a perk that gets them a kill when they're dying on their arse. Die alone and bored instead. Far too often I don't quite make it to cover before I've been pistol-spammed - or misjudge it and catch Final Stand spam instead. D'oh. Worst of all, I came across one guy who I left in last stand three times and each time he planted a claymore and topped himself whenever I left him. Nothing wrong with the perk though, thought it was a good idea when I saw it in CoD4 first.

yeah but he's not having problems connecting the xbox to the router its his high ping and low upload thats the problems .

and id say your being picked because its registering as a 10 meg download connection and COD is basing its connection soley on that (guess work here correct me if im wrong)
