Im pretty sure Im having issues on multiplayer. It feels like it takes too many shots for me to down people and things like my character movement and movement of others are crazy and seem to move faster and more fluidly. When I play by myself I have a better time aiming and moving.

I played a few matches on COD4 since Gears3 has no way method of showing signal strength, and I found that I had lag even when I was host. There were kills cams of me as host just standing there or running like a moron then dying while on my screen I was shooting the crap out of them.

Heres my results for a speed test, from a location roughly 100 miles away

Heres a ping test

My NAT is Open, UPnP is enabled and when I play I'm the only one on my network, and I check my wifi pretty frequently and I pretty sure no one is piggy backing my internet

I cant figure it out, my xbox is kinda old the disk tray gets stuck sometimes and its load but I dont know if that could be whats causing it. Perhaps my ethernet cable could be to blame. Or it could just be the ISP but I have no way of testing any of these things.

Is there something Im missing?

Only thing I can think of is possibly port forwarding (xbox live ports) to your consoles mac address or assign it a static ip address both in the router and in the consoles network setting then forward to the address. And assign high QoS to your console and ports.

First, thank you for replying

1)I thought port forwarding only Opens Nat which Black Ops, Mw2, Halo Reach, and Gears 3 all confirm that its open. And I even have the SPI Nat set to open instead of secure.

2)Do you have to assign a static ip for QoS to work?

3)And a question that I've always had regarding networking, can you open ports for two xboxes? or can you only open ports for one and put the other in the DMZ?
