There are 5 bars on the thing, I've seen people running around with a 1 bar, well, teleporting around. Full bars there are 5 columns, 5 bars. Quite clearly. Don't know why ye don't count the first one. :L

There's only 4 bars on the consoles anyway.

You must be on pc. I know nothing about pc gaming.

Just out of interest do you play on a standard definition tv or a hd one?

Kells...

THERE ARE ONLY 4 BARS

Sorry for the bold writing but people seem to think there is 5 bars religously

One brown bar
two yellow "
three light green "
four green "

For previous cod on consoles 80% of the time I'd be on a 3bar the rest a two bar. Kept getting thrown into yank lobbies on cod4.

In black ops though I seem to be getting 80% four bars. It's absolute horse-sh1t. I wouldn't believe those bars at all in black ops.

Yesterday I was playing a game on radiation. My teammate was killed infront of me so I knew yer man was coming around the corner. I went prone and as soon as I saw him I started firing........most of the clip of my ak47. I defo put enough bullets into him to kill him, so as soon as I was killed I checked the killcam. Not one bullet came out of my gun...........yet I was on a 4 bar and he was on a 3 bar

Like I said, I wouldn't believe the bar system at all on black ops anyore.

ION - I was watching a video yesterday (Blame truth) he was hosting. He got a chopper gunner and I have never seen anything like it :eek: People dying instantly.

I'm not trying to wind anyone up but i'm sure i've had 5 bars on more than one occasion. I'm sure i have... Im gonna check it out now to make sure :pac:


Okay, So it's definitely 4 bars! its always looked like 5 on a quick glance.

*Hangs head in shame*

Those bars aren't altogether reliable I think.

I've been in a game where everybody was yellow bars except the host and there was no problem whatsoever, though that could be because of the fact that the host was level 7 and couldn't take advantage of his hosting privileges.

maybe the mysterious 5th bar is in fact the erection most players must get from seeing a decent 4 bar for once

in Cod i thought it goes to 5??

FooFighters

for some reason i feel empowered that i started the 5 bar thing. but im sure there are five bars in CoD

They are really unreliable at times.Often got plenty of lag issues/deaths with 3/4 bar

Jesus, this is ridiculous..... I have 8mb line with Vodafone. For the last 4/5 days it's been shocking.

Right now:



lol, wtf??

I'll ring them tomorrow. There's other people in my area complaining, so something must be going on with the exchange.

What's weird is that COD is still pretty playable. It's a bit worse than usual, but not by much. Just goes to show how much of it has to do with Ping and not download/upload speed.
