Question about online play

[RawIsWar]

Well, i can both host and be a client to people online.

Is a 512K interner connection decent for hosting because i have been told by a friend that it lags for them really badly. But i played another friend and he said it ran like a dream for him. Does it depend on there connections too or is it just look of the draw for me when i host

Your upload speed is what matters when you are hosting. The higher this is, the less the lag will be. Also it depends on what else you have running. P2P will cause a lot of problems and MSN will affect it a bit. Best not to run anything else on your PC while playing online. and if you've just been P2Ping then it's best to reset your PC before going online.

And people who are located closer to you will get less lag.

Thanks for that.

I do P2P quite a bit so next time i play online i will reboot my PC before playing, i always switch MSN off too

Even resetting your router + turning off-on your internet can be a big help. And also clearing your PC for spyware, thats important.

I dont use a router, just a simple ADSL/USB modem.

Yeah i have recently got Adaware and Spybot and im using quite often now

I played someone the other day and I swear he must have been on a 56k! It was amazingly slow....people should really learn to take into account the person they are playing.

I have a question too, didn't want to open a new thread for it.

Can I play online with classic teams? and if yes how? When i play against my friend they aren't available..

You can't online - even if both players have unlocked them.
