A few weeks ago I started to have issues with Cod2. While playing, the game would freeze/lag for a half second or so every couple of minutes. My ping is still pretty good (50 to 70ish). I have uninstalled and reinstalled Cod2 and still have the problem. This is a problem in both the Xi and DB servers I frequent. So I don't think it is a server issue but an issue on my end. I am running a 6 month old 27inch iMac so hardware isn't an issue as Cod2 has run fine until a few weeks ago. The iMac even handles Cod4 on the Xi servers with no issue with that game at all. The only thing I can think of is this started to occur around the time (shortly after) I purchased and installed Cod4 on my iMac. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall Cod4 as it is running well. But I will give that a try if necessary. Any other suggestions (beyond the "get a PC" suggestion)? Awards

I think it has more to do with where you live than anything else. If your broadband carrier made a change to their cables or who knows what, it can have a big effect on your ping and create CI's during game play. When they moved the COD2 DM servers a couple months ago my ping dropped by 20 percent on that server, but I still get occasional connection interruptions or CI's. The TDM server wasn't moved and my ping stayed the same which usually hovers around 100 and I get frequent CI's. Awards

All my updates are turned off to manual On another note I too lag out and have been with 2 different Isp,s....Problem I have found with both is bandwidth is over sold and congestion occurs at peak times and at off times as well when I suspect they switch over routing....The company I am with is in the process of changing ownership so I have seen some changes already Hope you can report back any updates so that others may be able to get help or perhaps help you loADER>XI< Awards

Primarily since Cod4 on line is nearly perfect. But it can't hurt to put in a call to them. I'll give that a try this weekend. Thanks guys. Awards
