....I was fighting all night to go positive, or to just be inside the top 6 with all y'all. Another night playing 1 or more seconds behind people....getting straight up owned by 0/22's.
Everyone signs off pretty late, so I stay in the lobby and run a few solo games of CTDM.....and end up MVP'ing 4 or 5 in a row before my PS3 froze on me and I shut 'er down for the night.
For once, I got off the game in a decent mood because I felt like I did something.
Lately, I'm feeling pretty unfulfilled walking out of each game with 7 - 9 kills. I really hope that the 2011 COD release manages to have a plan that will make the game play as it should for more people.

13 meg dl is the best you can buy here for now. I have had that for 6 months....and it's so hit and miss. You saw the speedtests I posted, and sometimes I get the 13 down and .7 up I'm paying for. BUt short of running a T1 straight to my house, this is the best internet offered around here.
BUt what I can "best" on my desktop is always miles ahead of what is read on the PS3...BO says anything from 0-823 kbps bandwidth (and I play a lot on 0kbps) and when Syn did some prt work for me, my ps3 said I'm getting 233 kb UL.

#5881Kaz, it depends.
You are connected to people in the East Coast of the US and Central US maybe even Puerto Rico or Florida.
Hell, Last night I lagged so hard I left the game went into a GW and found the smoothest game ever.
Mostly because you find a game next to you and not 50000 miles away.
Well for me, It's always hell and can't find anyone in my area playing.

Not going to lie guys, I was a bit annoyed last night. After asking if there was room for me in the party I waited for probably an hour with no reply. From what I could see on the xmb you were only 4-strong but for all I knew there could be 2 people in the party whom I don't have added so I was content for the moment.
Then Lilac gets on and I think, "finally someone to party with", yet I see she's in your party. A little miffed at being ignored and fed up with trying to solo against the usual douchebaggery, I attempt to join your session. I successfully get put in mid-game on your team only to be greeted with, "Oh look, the connection whore is here" and "No wonder I'm doing so bad, Oreos has turned up" or words to that effect.
I was a bit taken aback tbh, as not once before has anyone mentioned to me that me being in your games is detrimental to your gaming experience, connection or otherwise, and when I check everyone's connection you were all on 3/4 bars except Lilac and I on 2 and Shadow on 2/3.
Honestly, I take no offence from people not wanting to play with me, whether it be because, for some reason, I sandbag your connection, or any other reason that affects your enjoyment (what little can be had from BO) of the game. What I'm peeved at is; firstly, I didn't get a response from my party request and secondly, the way I was greeted when I joined your session.
I can understand it may have been difficult to word a PM saying, "Oreo, we don't want you to play with us because you **** up our connection" or something along those lines, without feeling a little harsh, but I'd much prefer you guys to be straight up and honest rather than just ignoring me. This obviously led into my second point because when I was ignored I joined your session to see what was up and was made to feel very unwelcome. I'd consider you all my friends, even if this doesn't extend past the PS3, and enjoy the banter between everyone but that didn't feel like friendly banter to me.
I'm not sure how differently I would have acted if the shoe was on the other foot and it's all water under the bridge now as far as I'm concerned, but I felt I should let you know I wasn't very happy about it.

Takes a bit to get that out, musta been riled up pretty good.
Played probably 10-12 games last night before being fed up. Sad that we can't party up without being gimped. Jump in a solo GW and the game isn't near as frustrating.

#5909Oreo, not that we don't play with you. We are always filled. And you do kill connection, but it doesn't harm me much. I did invite you lastnight and you didn't come.
Ignore? You don't even send a message asking. lol
We are glad to have you on our team, but not on the other, you get ANNOYING!!! lol

It was a culmination of things, not all PS3 related, and I just needed to vent.

Reason I didn't accept the invite last night was because it was gone 3am and I wasn't in the mood any more. Usually I send a message to whom I think would be the party leader, so last night I sent a message to Syn. I'm not blaming him for not responding, he may not have seen the message if you were in-game, but I don't like spamming people's inboxes so I just leave it at the one. (I accept responsibility for you not inviting me based on me not sending out enough requests, but when you are only 4-strong I would expect you to be sending out invites to whomever is available. The fact you didn't send me one only reinforces the idea that I wasn't welcome due my connection problems)
I'm sorry for being annoying on the other team, when I'm against you I have resigned myself to losing so the only way of redeeming any enjoyment is to fk around, which unfortunately ends up pissing you guys off sometimes.
At risk of derailing the thread; could someone please tell me how/why I kill the connection when I join? If there is any way of fixing it you know I would.

No its not directly your fault. Its the connection share implement. Anyone who would be pinging 200+ seems to 'borrow' from other players. More than often the host, which is already taking the load of the party and lobby. Farther you are away with the less speed you're bringing to the table, the more the party will feel it.
Its a good idea as an idea, but its flawed to hell and back. Playing as host you are behind 2-3 bar enemies, and it gets old fast because you feel useless or handicapped for no reason.
Don't go out spending money trying to upgrade your web. No need to fork out for a game, we can find a way to deal. Its supposed to be relaxing and BS'n with friends, not stirring bad blood and making some feel like outcast not wanted.

I understand recently why I've been pinging 200+ because both of my housemates have been sandbagging the connection for the past couple of weeks watching movies and shit. For the next 2 weeks I'm home alone mostly, so I should be pinging <100ms to you.
Thanks for explaining Alpha, even as host I've never experienced this because I obviously only get host when Solo and everyone is in close proximity.

Oreo you gotta message me. I respond to almost all messages, and would have given you a response. I personally don't see any difference connection wise when you are in the lobby, although your Ballistics Knife had an unusual long knife range on Stadium. lol.

Orrophin, seems as though you and I get decent connections when we play together...makes no sense at all

Damn Orro. I was on last night, I think, and signed off lol.
Not having to play felt relaxing, especially because I have a tooth ache, and I am in no mood to play other than sleep.
If I notice everyone is on, I just pop in Crysis 2 and go back through the game looking for goodies, lol.

#5922Oh Oero for the record. Whatever I say isn't meant to be taken serious. I just say it to mess with my bros and sisters.
I usually say things like chisa kills connections. Or whoever joined last or who's host. So don't take anything from me personally.
CHISA IS FAT THOUGH! HUGE!
