worse than thoes little trolls living at the bottom of my garden...

thats where they hire the tech support trolls from.

Putting it into perspective, those guys get paid very little to put up with people who try and install modern games onto 5 year old laptops that BSOD every five minutes and have S3 integraded 2D decelerator video cards.

Thanks guys I dont play online due to crapppy internet. on cod4 about the only game i ever did play online at my mates place is grim_reaper. 1st time i have ever had a crappy cd, they said 1 in every million cd's are bad enough to warrent returning to the store. but i tell ya what the salesman did not want to try it on there store pc.. some time's you have to push the issue enough... thanks freedom i was just going to write it off and buy another one, till i did what ya said and push the issue,, what get me is that acivision was blaming my system....for the bung cd..... strange lot i tell ya, worse than thoes little trolls living at the bottom of my garden...

One in every million CDs have this problem? I guess that would explain why Iv never came across one. Anyway I just the beat the game yesterday and I think you're going to have a lot of fun with this one. The plot doesnt flow as well as CoD4 but it does have some epic battles. The level "Eviction" comes to mind. The only down side is I found the single player to be somewhat short. It really is a game to be played online.

I'm curious. What's your bandwidth fishnchips? Have you tried it online? Its coded very well and Iv heard of people with some pretty bad connections being able to play.

250ms is dial up pings. sounds like you got something else going on, like someone torrenting while you're trying to game.

everyones a slave for pr0n.

seriously - check the 'ping' on the right handside before you join the server if you already didnt know that. - in the time that i spent playing cod4 & cod5. you'd be suprised how many people come in with 300-600+ ping from a foreign country & whine about how laggy the server is when it wasnt laggy at all till they joined the server. A LOT of armerican players do that & when you ask them about finding a server more local to them they are very rude & disrespectful.

the servers i play on are ALWAYS local to me & my ping is around 50-80. ive seen a guy with 800ping playing on the server once & he was there for quite a few rounds.

since then ive contacted the server admins about players with hi-ping rates & even though its caused their server to crash TWICE they refused to add a ping rate cap but they did agree that it ruined the quality of play for the 'local' players who got dragged down with the hi-pingers. - they just wanted the server to be available for 'everyone'.

a clan that i use to hold a lot of respect for just went into the blender....

naaa no torrents or anti virus or any thing running, just crap lines and even servers close to me give me about 160 some times 230 pings, telecom needs there heads shrunken down and boild packs of dipsticks i tell ya. " they say it's ok our side what do you expect for copper lines?"
bugger all servers running in nz, i just have to put up with it... even the high rates..yes i try to get the lower pings from closer or just plain low servers but no use. at the moment im having trouble seeing servers on cod5....

you've definately got something wrong. feel free to PM me, and we can discuss it off forum. no ADSL Connection should have higher than 50ms ping to anything your ISP hosts, and even in NZ i'd be surprised if you break 100ms to australia.

I agree with him fish. ADSL shouldn't be that slow. But then again I never heard of a CD going bad from the manufacture ether

Glad you have your sound working my adsl is crap on copper wires here, the house was built in the 50's or 60's and im thinking the copper wires have been under ground since the 40's till now
i could be wrong i'll ask telecom.. your right thoe some thing wrong indeed. essp when an auckland server has a ping of 200 i should be getting 50 or 100 but nope im 200 250 ping and thats not running any thing in the back ground either...

this is my speed at the moment its up and down more times that a 102 year old man useing viagra

 

[Mussels]

this is my speed at the moment its up and down more times that a 102 year old man useing viagra

thats shaped speeds.

 

[fishnchips]

shaped??? seams odd to me as one day im ok for downloading then the next day its at dial up speed again.. i get about 2days in every 7 days of good speed as they said today " its your line and theres nothing we can do about it, unless you pay to have the workers come in and lay down new cables.. at the moment its working fine, and if there was a problem then we would fix it.." im like thinking ... GOD DAM IT! respect my authority!!!! if only i lived in the states. ohh how i would love cable but being shared medium it would be better than what i have now
wonder where i can pinch 10 miles or so of fibre optic cable and a splitter from??? i'de lay it my self lol

 

[Darren]

fishnchips,

just to make you feel like crap

Virgin Media Cable, UK

10 MB/sec downstream, 512 KB/sec upload (theoretical)

In real terms on average I get around 1.2Mb/sec from a good torrent/server

The only annoying thing is that they have introduced throttling at peak times!

 

[fishnchips]

10mb man thats wicked . when i move house after jan 09 i hope the lines are better than what i have now.. most homes are state owned, i have the sad option of living in one bad houseing bad lines.

State owned?

 

[Darren]

State owned?

Lol. It's my home connection.

London, England

Think fishnchips meant that it's a government house or it's rented from the government.

Yeah I know. Thats what I'm confused about. Only the super poor here in America live in government housing. If you're living in a state owned house then a fast internet connection is the last of your worries.

thats nothing check my shaped speed

it seems they didn't bother cutting my upload speed...

 

[fishnchips]

naa we not super poor dude.. they have houseing set up for low income tennents. they do rent them out to ppl who work @ full rent i pay half 90 bucks a week for 3 bedroom house. not the flashest of houseing one can hope for but it's a house.. in nz they passed a law that stoped the isp's charging what they liked for BB internet. now each isp has to charge whats fair and give full speed etc etc. long long story a real head banger to read... anyway.. people have moaned about BB being costly for the average user, so yer...the only thing that most users in nz forget expect in some places that have fibre optic cables, is that copper wires are not the bee's knees for surfing the net.. most are so old that it will take over 40 years to replace most of them in nz..
just goes to show ya how bad the lines are here. if you lived next door to the exchange, then ya really getting good quality internet. the office workers in auckland wellington etc have all there fibre optic cable strung up on the power lines that the bus's use and man do they have fast internet wow they fast..i can always go sat internet if i wanted but work wont allow me to..
