I had VM 20meg installed the other day and i was wondering how i can get a ping of 15-20 on most battlefield servers but 40-50 on COD4 servers?

It seems really strange whey there would such a big difference.

Do i need to change any settings in COD4?
 
When i search for servers on COD4, and order them by latency, the lowest ping is 18, and there are a load between 18-25. but when i join the ping is never anywhere near that, its always 40-50. I just dont see why my COD ping is sooo much higher than my BF ping...
 
I dont know about network speeds, thats what i was wondering really. If there are any internal settings i can change?
 
No i cant really tell the difference, i was just curios as to why there was such a big difference?

I had a ping of 14-16 on BF and 45-48 on COD4 earlier. Thats like 3 times the ping!
 
I changed the max packets to 100 and that reduced my ping to ~35 :) thanks :)

any others like that?
 
I just want to know why there is such a big difference... Ive tried multiple servers in both games. Always get a sub 20 ping in BF and always get a 40-50 ping in COD...
 
a bit off topic? :P

anyway, is a 40ish ping the norm for VM cable to COD4 servers?

I just donnt see why there is such a difference between is, 15ms on BF and 45 on COD, thats 3 times!!!
