Usually takes about two minutes from starting game up for me. Click free for all and then I usually get the message "could not connect to host" for the first game, then I try again and that's it, good to go. Either people have really bad connections or they're exaggerating a lot.

That’s really odd mate. I don't doubt that it's not your computer but the fact that the game is pants for everyone when your host suggests that something’s up with your connection.

Personally, when my NAT was not open my game play did seem to deteriorate. I actually had to Telnet into my router to execute a number of commands which fully enabled my NAT.

I have no problem hosting COD4, quake/idtech 3 based games, other engines, etc.

But for some reason when I play MW2 if I'm hosting - even if I put the gaming PC in the DMZ - every client only gets sent ~300byte/s and their pings all subsequently skyrocket and game is unplayable. My connection is usually capable of around 100+KByte/s upload.

AFAIK BT don't throttle any upload traffic so it can't be traffic management kicking in.

EDIT: Not sure why but seems ~3x faster finding games with UPnP on - but as mentioned 8/10 it makes me host and that doesn't work.

Well in any case it appears that there will be MW2 dedicated servers up at some point. Personally I think what they are doing is a good thing. Unfortunitely, what they are doing may allow pirates to play.

NB: Just to confirm, I preordered this game so I hope whatever DRM protection they code into the Loader it works better than VAC/Steam.

How can you even argue that point though, you just goto the next server down or another favourite, you knew it was full before your tried to join in MW1!!! :rolleyes:

At least you could still play!

Actually I never once knowingly tried to join a server that said it was full, it just waited a while and then decided to tell me it was full.

Also the solution to that cod4 problem is the same solution to the mw2 problem. Just push find game again problem solved. And don't roll your eyes at me you self righteous broach.

I'm around now if you fancy some COD:MW2 special forces play. :) Think I added you to Steam?
 
Anyone else getting annoyed with the carepackage abusers? I find that if one person starts to use it, then the others, who know about it, start using it as well.

If you bring out a care package but don't throw then it allows you to run very quickly. It's frequently used by people who combine it with marathon, lightweight and commando so they can run around knifing. Because they move so quickly, (they often look like they're lagging to me rather than running smoothly) they are incredibly hard to hit unless you see them early or manage to avoid the knife.

This and akimbo g18's are bugging me currently.
 
Some people combine this with something that lets them toggle lag on/off (probably fraps with low fps cap set) so they can literally warp across entire open spaces unhittable.

You mean the super pistols with more range, accuracy and damage than a sniper rifle. But according to their stats they are supposed to be only good for close range and have fairly low damage, accuracy and damage.

Sometimes when I play it's really good, but a lot of the time I ask my self how many things got past play testing at all.

Plus the advantage you get as the host is just plain silly.
