The bad part Shadow is I don’t think it has to be your connection. From what I gather is can be the host that has a terrible connection and all suffer. That is why I do not host any games where there can be more than 2-4 players in....

Also even if you have a high speed connection you can still be brought down by someone in the room with a slow one. xtimetoplay has a 10MB connection and he should never lag. In games when someone else is lagging he gets it to... We have noticed this even when he is hosting the game.


From what I gather if you host a game for BA the game is hosted on YOUR PS3... Do you see where the problems can come from then? If the game is hosted in the USA and you are on there (I cant remember where you said your from... England???) and a guy from Japan is on also... All that information is going to and from the USA host. Even if it only takes a second to travel from and to you are looking at a 2 to 3 second lag per person... Enough to make it miserable...

What is needed is a central server... If all games had dedicated servers through either PSN or the company that produced the game a lot of these issues would be alleviated...


I have been looking into a High Speed Server to connect all our games through but they are not cheep... I guess if I can dig up more info I will get back to all you guys and may be we can rent one together... One server can host multiple games and many of us (PS3 users) could actually utilize it... From what i get so far if 10 of us players rentded this server all ten of us have access to it and can host 10 different games. (they would not be limitded to BA) Does that make any sense? I will let you all know when I find out a bit more...
