So what your saying is we need to set up or get a server thats around 9ms.......Is that it.

In theory a max of 30 would be ok. I dont know the netcode margins, that's why I asked if 30ms would be ok. I would guess that any compensating code would not kick in between 10 and 30ms but I don't actually know that, hence the need to experiment!

I'll make a donation to the server cost. All I need is your account number and sort code, and..........

Yeah why not whats your waist and shoe size as you can borrow my flares and loafers

Just been watching a video on youtube and it appears you don't get to set the latency yourself, which is pointless and just means that in return for paying for their servers for them, you get to choose maps etc.

Waste of time.

So what you are saying is that those like yourself that have a real good connection can not play online games,there must be Thousands matey and i would hazard a guess that they are still playing online games without the issues you are experiencing.

So in all honesty what is the point of you even bothering with gaming,only on occasions like Far Cry 3 and Bioshock infinite is there a decent single player game in the first place.

You have The last of us to look forward to and Watchdogs and GTA5 but with the Playstation 4 i expect some awesome online games that in your case is a waste of space.

Pings of 30ms have been common for a decade, and even Be has has 5 to 10 ms pings for a few years. So its not new.
The way to go is to limit access to a clan, and know through other ways that you all have similar connections/latency.

You need to find a techie gaming clan who have spent the time to figure things out.

Lag compensation is catered to people with 30ms+ pings, The crapper your ping the better your online experience will be, My ping to germany is 32ms, I can shave another 8ms off that if i switch on fastpath.

I know when i'm host in cod games, Thats any cod game cod4,maw,mw2,blackops,mw3, The lag is far worse when host, Framerate drops.

Keep being put into lobbies with french, German, Italian, Spanish.

I'm host with 4 bars and a german, French, Italian, Spanish player with 4 or 3 bars who's not host gets a better connection to the game than i do.

I'm going to pick up that MMO game Defiance tomorrow which is strictly online so no benefit to you my friend,I've also heard that Black Ops Zombies is ruined,not that I bothered after 20 minutes of trying it.

Have you managed to pick it up yet, If so what is it like? I have seen some user reviews though nothing from so called professional reviewers etc.

Ive been playing it tonight and it quite good fun considering i have never played such a large open world game like this before,graphically its the pits if you put it side by side by other games such as Tomb Raider,Far cry 3,Uncharted and many others.

To be honest its early days at the moment and at 11.30 this evening a message flashed up saying server maintenance for 30 minutes and that put an end to that playtime.

There are fast travel points and plenty of people running around doing stuff ,side quests,mission,race quests and main quests,tonight when playing something Alien like spawned and we were told to kill it for some nice goodies and all that were around joined in but before we managed it the server went ofline.

i have the feel for the game but i don't think i fully understand what I'm suppose to be doing and im convinced im suppose to form squads or something as we all seem to be doing our own thing and at times when trying to do a mission its a little difficult with no help.

Think i need a good day on it to make a informed opinion but apart from the basic graphics im having some fun with it.

I found this One

but i guess with this type of game its going to take time for reviews to filter through,its no Killzone 4 or watchdogs i can tell you that but if I'm still playing it the end of the week then it will have had to have something that grips me.

Forgot to mention it took about 45 minutes to load the game and install it,then patch it and download all sorts of stuff that I've even forgotten what they called it,i thought i would never get into the game and was getting frustrated at starring at a download screen for ages.
