I've had nothing but lag tonight. I think it is more due to my connection, but not having a dedicated server didn't help things.

I love the game, and IWNet works, but to think what it could have been :(

Is anyone else finding it impossible to get rid of the Strict nat type on their O2 router? I've forwarded every port mentioned and then some :S

Was stuck on this for ages. I asked in the be forums and a kind mod posted this information (Proves yet again why bethere.co.uk is superior to any other ISP in the UK):

In Windows

Go to Start, Run and type cmd
Then type telnet 192.168.1.254 and press Enter
Enter your username and password (by default username = Administrator with a capital A and password can be found here: http://beusergroup.co.uk/technotes/index.php/Rp)
Then type the following exactly as shown below and press Enter after typing the 0

:connection bind application=CONE(UDP) port=0

Then type

:saveall to save the config changes

Type exit to quit

Go to the BeBox web interface and restart the router

Again when you have telnetted to the router (see above), type the following

:ids config state disabled -> Press Enter
:connection appconfig application=CONE(UDP) timeout=0 -> Press Enter
:saveall -> Press Enter

Go to the BeBox web interface and restart the router

NB: Please backup your router settings before you try the above tweaks. You should also remove all MW2 port forwarding.

Another thing, for those of you with crossfire, you will need the lastest CATs for it to work. I just switched and the single player has gone from choppy to super smooth.

Set your killstreaks to harrier, chopper gunner and nuke. Get 7 kills then find a good place to hide, the harrier should get at least 4 kills and on most levels the chopper gunner should hopefully get you the remaining 12+. Then press 4 and boom!

Didn't help :( i really don't understand what's up with this router, online port checkers are saying no ports are open to incoming connections either!

The intrusion detection is disabled, the firewall is disabled, the appropriate ports are forwarded yet its still acting like none of the above have been done?!:confused:
 
Crumbs im near the end where they are chasing the speed boat, then they have to shoot the helo as soon as they fall over the rapids it try to load the next scene and my system just hangs:(.
could it be that steam didn't load all the game files? as it didn't ask me for my second cd on install?

Ok, save your router config, reboot to factory defaults. telnet into your router and follow those commands. Then log back into your router, assume you computer a a staic IP using gaming mode and it should work.

Otherwise, it's something to do with your antivirus / win firewall.
 
I have been playing pretty much constantly every day after work since release both spec ops and regular multiplayer and despite being very worried that a lack of dedicate servers would cause some major laggy console gameplay its actually been very good... Only had a couple of laggy games and then u just quite out and find a new one.... Unlocked the Akimbo UMP's earlier and they own... point blank range with the extra stopping power perk i am unstoppable!! :D

Yup tried all that, it seems like its a pretty common issue where people are just ending up buying a new router because of how crap the supplied one is!

It's defo not my computer btw, tried it on several and i don't actually use a firewall/anti virus! Thanks though :)

I got a BT home hub which shouldn't have any compatibility issues, yet I get a strict NAT but the funny thing is I don't have any problem connecting to games, only hosting which works 50% of the time which makes me wondering if the game is lieing to me!!! :eek:

I also turned off firewall/antivirus, opened up all ports recommened by a steam guy in their forums and the steam ports themselves and still nothing, I do not have strict NAT problems with any other software and I do have UPnP

MW2 is lieing to me I swear! But I can still play so I'm not bothered, well actually I am a little I hate to see it saying STRICT in big bold red :D

Bit harsh tbh, I think Spec-Op is great, the story is typical of what I'd expect from a COD game (so no change), I have nothing wrong with the way you connect to a game through matchmaking in multiplayer

The only thing I have noticed a bit is lag, not bad but evident, its when you have the quick face-offs with people round a corner, you retreat into solid cover and you die and your like WTF I was deffo in cover :D that's the only time lack of servers bothers me, I would like to see them in the future tbh

thats a terrible review! the whole read stinks, it reads more like an opinionated rant than a proffesional objective game review, the person who wrote that doesnt sound like fair or atleast broadminded gamer at all

edit: for one the pros and cons between the pc "review" and the console reviews are a complete contradiction,

"Great characters who are defined as the heroes for the series make the story all the more meaningful."

when on the pc

"The campaign storyline borders on incomprehensibility"
