Multiplayer Hosting

[noxblade]

Im fairly new to the forums so sorry in advance

but can we get some info on bandwidth requirements for running/hosting games
since Prey came out with its high detail and gameplay, it has got me worried we wont get the same problem with gears of war.

so if a member of the staff can clear things up on bandwidth to host big games, small games etc would be great!

sorry in wrong section thou, cant find delete button :(

ya that really would be great!!!!!

Just get a T1/T3 internet connection and you should be fine dude... unless you don't have one... if you have dsl greater than 256k you might not want to get a full game hosted... maybe like 3v3 or something..

I have dsl and host full 4vs4 games all the time , everyones ping stays around 123 and launches up to 999 if my sis goes on the computer at the same time as I am on xbox live , also I think my router is slowing down the connection.

Epic needs to make their own PODCAST, that would be awsome, because my questions never get answerd, they could take then off the forums and on the air, like bungie it doing, cliffy, mark, robbie, and rod. their on every podcast except their own! please?

there is a new thread button in the left corner just below the command bar type thing. if you dont figure it out maybe i will make one later.

It's never really a good idea to host any game on a cable connection, dsl has faster upload speeds (but slower d/l speeds) than cable.

Of course if you use T1 or T3 then if you don't host a server then that's a waste of a hell of a connection.

everyone should be able to host 4v4 no lag

[Ninja Yoda]

Yea I agree with menace I would be highly surprised if people had trouble hosting.

yea u better agree :D

[Ninja Yoda]

Yea I better lol

[SPARTAN 2002]

Yes, i also agree with both of you - i like to agree with things:D

If this game lags with my connection , considering the budget this game has i will be most dissapointed.

[Ninja Yoda]

I would be very surprised as your hosting only eight people, it all depends on the servers if they are running right no one should have any problems.

[M4RCU5]

No host advantige.

[Crimson. E]

What ever happened to Dedicated servers? Listen servers are trash.

[M4RCU5]

Dedicated severs are used for boosting!
