I noticed some lag last night in a few games. Not sure if it was the people I was playing with or what. I know one of my guys stopped and came back after restarting his xbox. Might have been his system. Gaming last nite was OK. I think I wasn't on my game. Was an ok night.

Well I managed to play a couple of games before having ot hop off and work on my bike yesterday.
I set up the 4500 and disabled GF entirely and just set up PT for 3074. Had full bars and gaming was pretty good even though my first game was yucky on my behalf. LOL. I'll try and get on more tonight and play more. Again, I feel this work well for single xbox set ups. Multi xbox, probably not so much.   

Hey fur, are still running with GF disabled entirely?

[FurryNutz]

Last time I checked I did. I'll have to go back and see what I left on it as I've switch routers again. 

I belive I had been using PT only with GF OFF. I'll check when I get home soon. Gonna be online this evening?

[XS]

I might be, not sure yet.  Hey do you know what happens if you enable GF, turn off auto classification and have no manual rules?  Is this the same as having GF disabled?

[FurryNutz]

I think GF is still running if you turn off Auto Classification and have no rules going. I just checked the 4500 router and GF was totally disabled and was using PT for 3074.

Well more BS tonight but to honest I may have not been on my game.
Anyway, 1st game, I pull host, lag and more lag, started 0-5 and quit.  Pulling host is like the kiss of death in MW3, in Black Ops it was awesome.
Joined another game that was halfway  over, lag was acceptable and finished 7-7.
3rd and last game on Black box, sniper city they should have called it, I hate this map, went 4-8, awesome!

Internet connection is still good, no erratic pings, so this time it was the game, no wonder why Robert Bowling resigned as PR for Activision.  Who wants to promote a broken game?

[XS]

How is everyones gaming?
Mine is still erratic, better than what it was a couple of weeks ago but not good.  I would say its tolerable where right when you say "screw you MW3!" you will have a pretty good game to keep you going, its a viscous circle, lol.

Anyway last night I wanted to run a test since everyone is saying people with fast internet connection is getting screwed, so I changed my uplink speed to 128kbps.

It took at least 5 minutes to find a match, usually I find a match in less than 1 minute.  I was only able to play one TDM match and that was on Bakara.  I finished 11-9 and it was a close game, lost 7300-7500.   I should have done a lot better but my aim was off on a couple of gun fights that I clearly should have won.  The funny things is I think the slow internet theory has some truth behind it.  There were no insta-deaths and when  I did get shot in the back I was able to at least turn on the enemy and get one shot off before dying.  I felt the game was fair, where the better shots won the gunfight

However It was just one game and I would like to try it again to see if game play is consistent.  Regardless I should have been lagging real bad with only 128kbps upload, no?

I noticed last night while gaming there was some lag. I also notice that I was only getting 3 bars with running the router in default mode. I checked my ISP service it it was running at 30's down from 50. Up was ok. I turned on my game rule and manged to get full bars. I was kicked from a game due to lost server connection. Not sure what that was about. Saw a few games with Lag going on. It took me a few games to warm up. After a few others joined me we kicked azz. I saw you online and was hoping to join up. Maybe this weekend?

[XS]

Yeah I was only online for about 5 games, more than usual, lol.  That's odd that adding a game rule changed your connection to 4 bars.  Was anything else using the internet?
I usually at least have a 3 bar connection but I have lagged just as much on having a 4 bar as well.  With all these people I hear on the MW3 forums screwing around with their connection is only adding to the problem. 

[FurryNutz]

Not that I know of, roommate was in bed and neighbor doesn't use the Internet that late at night. So was just xbox and my Laptop to monitor and configure the router.

Seem that most of the things I see comes from playing MW3. I need to go back and play MW2 and see if I notice anything. I highly doubt I will. Let play sometime so we can test. 

[XS]

You might be surprised, I hear a lot of people who go back to MW2, just love the hit detection and actually having a host advantage.  However they usually get fed up with everything else (noob tube, OMA, knifing) and stop playing.

[FurryNutz]

I know...can't stand the running class and No Scoping. I actually enjoy MW2 alot for the most part. Way better than BO. For some reason just could not get full enjoyment out of that game.

Well, once Diablo 3 and Halo 4 comes out, I'll be hitting those hard I think. Will be nice to do some PC gaming again. Do miss it.

We paid an annual subscription for WoW. For the bonus, we received an OK mount, a guaranteed spot in the upcoming Mists of Pandaria (Next expansion), AND a free copy of Diablo 3..   It's already installed on my laptop waiting for the servers to go Live.   

[FurryNutz]

Must be nice.
