Post here about your online console gaming experience !

[NoasArcAngel]

I decided to make a thread dedicated to the online gaming experience with consoles. @Mods please make this thread sticky so that people can view FAQ's solve problems and ask questions.

what you need to post :

1. which console you used


2. internet connection speed and provider ex. airtel , mtnl etc


3. where you stay [ state / city ]


4. what game you played. if possible mention the server


5.rate the online gameplay out of 5 on these categories. and justify the cause about why you gave points for those.

* - bad

** - acceptable

*** - good

**** - very good

***** - awesome

categories :

a) online gameplay lagg
-Lagg is defined as network disruption which often causes packet loss and choke making online gameplay a nightmare. Please note lagg has no relation with latency / ping.
-Any decent broadband connection has 0% loss and choke.

************************************************** ********
Example :

have you faced any issues like where you fire and the person does not get killed ?

b) latency issues
-Latency is the amount of time that the packets take to reach the host and come back to the point from where they were sent.
-Generally <50 ms latency is considered optimum for online gaming.

************************************************** ********
Example :

have you faced a problem where you shoot and the person dies after 2 seconds?

Thats is nearly pretty much to online gaming. If you feel any changes / additions should be made please post the change / addition you think is required and we can add them.

thanks and regards
