PC Modern Warfare 2 IWNet Multiplayer Server Lag and Host Advantage

_{by local newspaper}

This is what Modern Warfare 2 IWNet MP servers looks like and what Host Advantage looks like.

And this is what Fourzerotwo told us Modern Warfare 2 IWNet would be :

Matchmaking & Smoother Gameplay: When you want to player a multiplayer game on PC, in the past. You’d have to scroll through a Server Browser which listed every available server which was hosted by individual server admins. Each had their own private rules, mods, or ways of playing the game. Most players would also use the server browser to find just the best quality game (based on PING). With IWNET matchmaking, it takes all that into account for you. All you have to do is select the playlist (pre-set gametypes with custom rules) that fits the style of play you are in the mood for. When you do, it will automatically find you a game with the best performance, ping, and preferences based on your location and individual connection as well as matching you with players of your same SKILL. So you’re always guaranteed the best game performance for where you are and what connection you’re playing on as well as an equal game with other players of your same skill level, not rank, but skill level. It doesn’t mean you’ll just be thrown into a random game! It will put you in the game that will give you the smoothest gameplay possible without you having to manually find a server with the best ping.

Gamehoster and Screenshotmaker uses the 10 bars of 20ms ping cfg setting. Standard is 4 bars and 4 green bars means 0-100 ping.
