Modern Warfare 2 PC multiplayer in South Africa

It sux. Looking at the killcams I am long dead before I even see the other players. So for all of those who watched the videos, I constantly get the copycat perk (if you can call it a perk). Also I think the maps are way too large

I have not tried Private games. Will give it a shot tonight
 
I have already posted this elsewhere, but thought it would be useful here:

"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 Hemisphere's Winter.

All I can say is the Matching system sucks and every South African is going to be swearing at the gods for this fallacy.

However the Private game is the way to go, and it shouldn't be too hard to round up a couple of people with the benefits of Steam's Community Networking.

That said I have started a Steam Group for this exact purpose: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/mw2za "
 
It's only gotten positive reviews by PS3 owners...There is obviously some connection issue (patch getting released this friday) for a few people but that's global...everyone else has been very impressed by their netcode and how lag-resistant MW2 is...would expect the same from PC...
 
Hey does anyone know how to lan this game I bought it here and it sucks cause I cant lan it

It's because console owners don't know any better.

The console owners (like me) knows how to use the system. What we do is get a few friends to join your party. Lets say the game takes 12 gamers, so you get 7 friends to join your party and then you look for a game via the online menu.

If you have so many players in your party the game will be hosted locally on one of the 7 friends consoles (which ever has the best adsl line), because it won't be able to find a server where it can put all 7 into, if it does just disconnect and try again. You can then invite more local people to join once the session has started. This will give you a good local game with minimal latency (unless telkom has issues).

Console users feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: By server I mean another console hosting the game.

The game is not playable on Lan. This is by design, unless hacked, its not possible.
