Thread: Modern Warfare 2 works fine in SA!

Started 1 month ago by Simple.
I would just like to announce to all that you dont have to give up completely on MW2. All South African have been match maked ingame with other South Africans and have all ended up in a server with low ping. IWNet isnt that bad after all. When going "Find Server" ingame it automatically takes in to account your location and looks for a server of 100ms or less. This means that there is no ...

And are we getting these servers local? or will they be close enough to give that sort of ping?

Simple. replied 1 month ago
Interesting question. It must be local, since there is no lag what so ever and the ping is less than 100ms.

If the pings are low and people suspect it's local, maybe someone can investigate...

Explain to me HTF we will see 100ms or less pings on overseas servers? The best you will get is 200/250 on an unshaped account, that does not sound like fun to me.

In response to IW.NET, when you are matched up with other South Africans....then yes it works nicely and you have 4bars of green awesome latency thus making life as sweet as a sugar coated willow-tree. However last night IW.NET was unable to find me any local games for around 45m. I was literally playing with 2 bars or less with weird speaking Italians and Polish who are deep in the Northern ...

Signal bar is only out of 3!!! - i've played online for about 3 hours alternating between: IS low latency , saix unshaped and verizon unshaped. the best i got was alternating between 1 and 2 bars and it is really laggy at times... Killa is right.....impossible to have LAG sub 130ms to europe So if IW did something locally , it hasn't shown yet!

Yea i only ever played cod4 on sgs servers though so i never checked. All i know is even 2 bars is enjoyable and you can kill easily. Once i figure out this local thing it will be 4 bars which would rock .

would still like the whole dedicated server thing happen, but for now its good enough, there are already 150 people in our Steam Community so should be easy finding people online with low pings when looking for matches. Capture the flag is pretty awesome too, should try it out once you unlocked it

I don't need both, the PC version IS the console version, just with a mouse.

Because if you play private matches or a game with only SA people then one of you will host the game...Like xbox live...playing fifa 10 against someone in UK is laggy...Playing against someone here there is no lag at all even though you still connect to Xbox live 1st... Ive played a lot of private game on MW2 and there is no lag what so ever...
