[Xtrm Liability]

Night Owl - Everybody is experiencing the exact same problem especially during peak hours (right after 5:00 pm). Everybody who plays COD2 online knows this is an issue and when the lag starts to hit, everybody sais, "OK here it comes[lag]." We all know where your comming from. On the other hand, I still get some good online time with COD2 after peak hours with minimum to no problems.

I'm using a 700kbs cable connection wired strait to the router then wired straight to my 360. My PC has the wireless network card and I play Counter Strike Source online all the time without lag with 40+ players at the same time in one game session. Not to mention, Halo 2 amongst other original Xbox games play perfect without any lag problems so it’s definitely not any lagging connection on my part. Furthermore, it seems that many others are experiencing the same problem at the same time I do.

There is a theory that the first person in a game lobby is the one who hosts the game but I disagree. Xlive is all unified and the host is the game servers. I could be wrong about this but if anybody has any info on how it works exactly I would appreciate it. I think we need to get on Microsoft’s case about this problem because I’m reluctant to pay for a lagging online service. Ouch, that hurt me to say that.
