Call of Duty multiplayer on dial-up


Recommended Posts

I haven't played an online game in a looooooong time, as I'm stuck on 28.8k due to the poor phone line quality in my area. It's impossible to any form of broadband in my area either. Anyway, I thought just for the hell of it, I'd try COD multiplayer and see what's it like on dialup (with absolutely no idea it would be playable). Well, to my surprise, completely playable, with minimal lag, even with 20 people playing. Needless to say I'm playing it a lot more than the single player campaign now. What a blast :D

There are other games which I can play on 28.8k, UT, UT2003, Q3A, but I've never ever really been able to play as a sniper, because there's always been a fairly persistant presence of lag. In COD, I can snipe my heart out without lag borking up my shots.

If anyone has dialup here and is reluctant to try out COD online, I urge you, go for it! It's awesome!
