Hi

Is anyone else experiencing bad lag whilst playing MOH online. I am experiencing up to 1 second lag in places where I am already completely out of line of fire but still getting shot and killed. Or I offload a whole bunch of bullets into another player just in front of me and then....BAM...I get knifed by him.

I have tried 2 different ISPs on capped accounts but both show the same results. I can only assume that there are no SA servers hosting MOH.

Anyone???
 
Its possible that host might be on a Telkom based account or an Mweb one, and you're connecting to him with a Telkom/Mweb account. Based on the peering situation Telkom and Mweb still doesn't peer with one another, so you're going to be experiencing some huge lag. Although if you don't have a Telkom or Mweb based account, then there must be something else wrong. But I'd go with my theory of the peering as that is most likely what is causing your lag.
 
Xbox live WILL ALWAYS match you with international players. So it could be a weak international connection.

A bit off topic, but is it possible to play XBOX Live on a 384kb line?

Very possible if you have the right ISP. If you have a ISP with a bad international connection it would just be worse. But if you get good international latency with your 384k line and there is no annoying voice chat you will play fine.

I get 280ms latency international to Europe. To America it's a bit more.
 
Xbox live is always going to match you up internationally, i play alot of fps games on live (reach, mw2, BO) and allmost never have problems, had bad lag for about 10 minutes this entire month, other than that im lag free using mweb 4mb uncapped.

I get 200 - 220ms on my 4mb line with IS uncapped. Anything less that 250ms will give you a good gaming experience on xbox live. Some reason it just doesn't lag. If you have that same ping on pc it will be unplayable but on xbox 360 its petty smooth.

Xbox live will most of the time match you with the lowest European host. Most likely UK or sometimes France too.

That said. MoH is like a dream online with xbox live. It just doesn't lag. Don't know how they do it but it just works flawless online and there is ALWAYS games online. I also own the original of MoH for pc. Sometimes its hard to find a local game. Games just die down for some reason.
