COD MW2 has broken approx $500 million in just a weekend. It is, as of writing, the best selling entertainment product of all time in such a short duration.
As a gamer I am interested in lag-reduced games but Activision - the games publisher have decreed that the old PC dedicated server model that has worked so well in the past is to be changed to enable the P2P type system prevalent on consoles such as PS3 and XBOX360. This isn't a 'true' P2P system but what it does mean is that the person playing who is perceived to have the best connection will be made host and has a huge advantage.
What does this mean in terms of ping?
A member of the Infinity Ward forums has broken down what those bars actually mean for your ping.
They also show how you can more accurately display your ping and more easily tell who the host actually is.
• Navigate to the folder: 'program files\steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 2\players' and open the file config_mp.cfg
• Change scoresping_interval from 100 to 20, and maxbars from 4 to 10 (10 is the max).
• This means that each of the 10 bars represents 20ms, with full green being 20ms or lower, and 1 red being 200ms or higher.
