Help to reduce lag!

Hey,

A lot of people have been experiencing lag on this game and difficulty with finding players online. Here are a couple of tips to reduce lag which I have implemented recently and have helped tremendously.

1) Plug in the ethernet cable directly into the Xbox, this should help alot as wireless is prone to packet loss and other issues.

2) Don't download anything whilst playing the game, especially uploading i.e. streaming etc

3) Open you Nat Type to "Open" on your router. It took me about 30-40mins to do but now its permanently Open. I find sessions quicker and I know have 3 bars almost all games and I don't have a brilliant internet speed anyways but more sufficient, I could do a speedtest to prove it if you want. I am a 2.62 kd player so I know the difference between being outplayed without making excuses or being lag killed and this GREATLY reduces the latter.

What you want to do is type "[router name and model] and xbox" into google and you should find a guide on portforwarding.com. They will ask you to create a static IP and they have a online screenshot guide and this helps alot. This helps me alot also with any other multiplayer, so the benefits of taking out 30-40 mins out of my day will pay dividends for years to come.

Kind Regards
