Petition for IW to give us a region filter.

"We, the undersigned international gaming community, demand that Infinity Ward address the needs of their international customers by implementing a REGION FILTER for the ineffectual multiplayer matchmaking system currently in place.

Such a filter is already in place and works beautifully in Call of Duty: World at War (which was produced by Treyarch, not Infinity Ward), so surely such a system could be applied to Modern Warfare 2."

Poor L4D connections - a solution?

Seems that the dedicated server thing is a known problem for L4D players outside of the States.

I did a bit of digging around, and XboxConnect kept springing up as a solution. It is compelling. I just need someone like Leigh to tell me why it won't work, or better yet, install it and make it work.



"XBConnect is software that runs on your PC and will let you play Microsoft Xbox/360 games and Sony PSP games with players from around the world. Imagine plugging your Xbox/360 or PSP into a LAN that went around the planet. Load up Halo, Halo 2, Rainbow Six 3 or any other compatible game and you can play with people all over the world. Thats what we do for you. You dont have to pay for expensive online gaming services anymore. Gone are the days of being stuck with career modes. If you got a PC, broad band internet and a game console, then all you need is XBConnect."
