I have an excellent connection an in most games I am around 20ms or so, but I rarely get below 100ms unless I am the host in MW2. Not to mention pretty much every game I play has someone over 200.
are you serious? I don't think its the games fault for high ping. Afterall, all it does is search for the lowest ping players. Could be that your internet was downloading something or just needs an upgrade? i dunno but whenever i seem to play i get around 70ish.
The game consistently has significantly higher pings than any other online game. A good portion of this is due to using home connections to host the games as opposed to dedicated servers. Consumer lines don't have the upload bandwidth to support hosting. I have 20Mb down, 2Mb up, the best package I can get and my ping is still terrible compared to pretty much every other online game I play.
Uh last night I was rocking a 22 ping... I'm playing as Fuzzba11 weekends mostly Ground War.
I am curious as to how you know your ping was 22. The game does not support seeing ping as an actual number and the ping bars are limited to 10. to see that you had a ping of 22 you would have to have it set to 10bars each at 2ms, which would mean the maximum ping you would see would be 50ms, ie everyone would constantly appear to have 1red bar and it would be a terrible indicator of what anyone who was not the server's ping was. I have my ping indicator set to 10bars 20ms each and even then most games there is someone who is over 200ms where I can't see whether they are 210ms or 500ms because it just appears as 1 bar.
Hey,
I got this game the day it came out and after a day playing it I thought this was a slight improvement on the previous Modern Welfare but after countless hours of playing Modern Welfare 2 men MW2 blows away MW1 and the rest of those mediocre FPS game out of the water. Agree with people that say this game creates relationship problem I too found myself talking to my girlfriend less and spending more time with my PS3 in the first few weeks thankfully that has been resolved
I am glad you enjoy the game, but at least to me, Modern Warfare 2 is a mediocre game. In my opinion the worst FPS I have purchased in a couple years. The game adds nothing original modern warfare except better sights. I mean I suppose the guns are different, but the guns are not better by any means, just different ones are available and there are a few different perks, but even though are largely the same as Modern Warfare. The lack of being able to kick people out of servers, restrict weapon combos, have low ping, choose exactly which map I want to play, not hop out of a game only to get dumped back into the same one, lack of hardcore FFA, lack of Hardcore domination, HC playlists with different game types, lack of ability to use console commands, lack of an acutal ping number display, lack of Hardcore with 18 people and lack of ability to set the number of players are all negatives to me. As soon as my friends find a different game to play I will go back to Modern Warfare 1. I am honestly curious what you find to be such an improvement over MW1?
