    So is it just me, or is it next to impossible to win a Slayer game against a bunch of Americans because of the lag...? :confused:

    For me anyway most of the time it starts out fine but then after a few mins you begin to find yourself blown up or shotgunned before you even hear the blast...

    Is this down to your ISP, or the just fact that the game is being played across the Atlantic...?

    (I'm awaiting the "it's just you" replies :rolleyes: )

    Well prove it isn't you. Whats your connection speed? Areyou using a router or Internet COnnection Sharing?

    But yeah, I get lag on slayer against Americans too. They should have Euro only option.

    I've never noticed any lag that the Americans haven't noticed. Whenever I have come across it the Americans are giving out just as much as the Europeans.

    A Euro option would be cool alright.
    I'm using an IBB USB Ripwave modem into my PC, and into the console from the network card. Connection speed probably averages 200k but varys wildly.

    I don't think IBB have the best ping times. Just wondering if the problem is more widespread really.

    CHEERS :)

    That would be your problem. Ripwave is drastically inferior to regular BB offered by eircom or BT. :(

    i get awfull lag in most xbox live games, particulary Halo2, Dead Or Alive Online (sometimes the lag freezzes it altogether) and Rainbow Six... ive only got a few weeks left in my one year subscription and will not be renewing it due to the dodgy laggy nature of xbox live. Pc gaming is just so much more stable, lag free and much better thought out than xbox live imo.

    I'm on IOLBB and the only time I experience lag is with a bad host, or when the other team is fond of the standby button.
