I finally found the reasoning on my high ass ping. My damn telephone line inside the house is fugged up. I tested it outside at the NID (which by passess all internal wiring) and my download speed went from an average of 150KB/s to 600KB/s. I am so fucking happy so now I can prolly get my K/D ratio up or at least play better. And sorry to whoever I ramed with a jet last night...I told you it was my ping. Damn fucker didn't want to believe me and I told him to look himself cuz it was fuckin 155 or so.
What kind of download speed do you need to play BF2? Unless you're downloading lots of music/porn/movies at the same time, I doubt going from 150KB/s to 600KB/s is going to make any difference to your pings.
Its not so much the ping, as packet loss. Not to mention shitty pc's.aardfrith wrote:

i have 512/128 and have an average download speed of 50 - 60
does that mean ill be pinging through the roof when i get a computer cabable of running bf2 ! *and if so what can i do to lower the ping*

Any connection over 256kbp/s downstream will ping fine on a local server. Ping changes and deteriotes over distance and signal strength. So, if your phoneline is in a bad condition, or you live far away from your nearest exchange (not to mention the actual server)- then your connection speed won't mean diddly squat.

how do i run this check as my ping is fuxed.
You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

Well I do download music but not at the same time. My only applications I have open during game play are my firewall and anti-virus. The phone line is the reason my ping was high (packet loss is problaly what's happening). Once it is fixed i'll come back with my ping results and prove it to you. Right now i'm averaging 100+ and I get kicked quite frequently. Now shitty PC's will not effect your ping since ping is Internet related. My system specs are 1GB Ram 250 HD 3.0GHz Dual Core Intel and 256 6800GT. Now that is enough to run BF2, ya another gig of ram would help but like I said, ping is internet related problems. Here is something on what ping really is. http://www.answers.com/topic/ping-video-games Alright...played last night after it got fixed and on 3 different servers I was around 50-60. It is sooooooooo much better!Darky wrote:
