CommanderCrazy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) So, Crysis 2 this tuesday! :D So far I am nearly ready for it. Nano Edition preorder: Fully paid. Bags of chips: check. Water reservoir: Check. Shift computer into toilet: Still working on that... Anywho, theres been a little worry at the back of my mind. What speed of internet will be required for a good experience?I recently hooked up my PC with an ethernet cable, and can play Dead Space 2 multi with not a bit of lag, but the maps are smaller. Much smaller. So, if anyone's in the know on this (Dont say google. I have spent the last hour or so searching and can only find "Internet connection required for one time activation"), then please tell me. Thanks!

HellsMaster Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The MP demo worked fine on our crap com at home. While my dad was pumping the internet like a cow too. So dont worry about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ping is far more important that overall speed unless your hosting and then it's your upstream that counts, you can check your ping easy enough here... http://www.speedtest.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellsMaster Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 LOL! It says (Slower tan 87% of AU) that made me chuckle. The speedtest of the college com is this: http://www.speedtest.net/result/1206293839.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 DAMN. That is a crap connection!? But my ping is a lower number. Is that good? Also, if it turns out not enough, my current plan is out of the lockin period, all I have to is make a call to Mumbai (No offense meant. Tis a joke) and get it upgraded.

HellsMaster Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Your ping is okay. I noticed the server you connected to for your speedtest is a whoopin 400 miles away. Might have to do with that. And wait to see how the game performs online BEFORE upgrading. The DL speed and UL speed is terrible too. Like i said, probably because you connected to a server who might not be of good quality.

CommanderCrazy Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Upload speed has always been that crap (Never planned on hosting though) and download recently got a 'boost' for being a 'loyal customer'. Hell, its only an ADSL1, but it is unlimited, and I only pay $15 a month for it. Edited March 17, 2011 by CommanderCrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellsMaster Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ey dont use my name like an angry word like that! /joking. Yeah really its the DL speed that you might want to improve if you can. - HellsMaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The ping is good for 400 miles but what speed are you supposed to be getting from the aptly named Dodo ISP? I'd get on to them, that upload can't be right for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
