im not excited about leauge play, because most true skill games f up in this area, where if your a good player with a high rank you constantly get matched with lower ranks and if you win you get nothing where as if you lose you get seriously demoted. halo was like this and so was apb reloaded.

I don't know where you live but 10Mb upload speed is rare to see here in Texas. As you can see from my Speedtest, my upload is just down right horrible and I pay quite a bit for my internet.

Same here, from Texas too and my upload speed is like around 1 mb lol. I think Dave Dave may have been thinking about download speed.

Getting really good upload here in Texas is expensive as balls. Greedy Time Warner.

Yeah I read it wrong, I thought they said download, woops! In that case then 3MB is pretty steep, the best I get is 5 on a good day and I have the best package possible - so it may become a problem!

Yeah. Every time I see a Speedtest post, I always see insane speeds fomr Verizon or Comcast. I never see insane speeds from Road Runner.

You should realize that not everyone can afford a good HD-PVR. When I go on Twitch, I rarely see anyone stream CoD. It was the same way when the game out. The economy is terrible now and no one wants to invest in a PVR. You also have to invest in some good internet to live stream and play at the same time with no lag. I mean yes you can make a decent amount of money if you become known but that's a risk with money.

1000 GB A MONTH!? I can blow through 200+GB in a week, especially with the ignorant things I download. I now appreciate my internet. Feel sorry for you man.

How much do you pay? We pay $130+ for internet and cable. I'm only getting 10Mb with a power boost to make it 30Mb for my download speed and only a 1Mb upload with a boost to make it 2Mb. I rarely ever get an upload boost though.

Well Treyarch's retarded. You need to have a certain number of established viewers and the only people that have that are people who already have capture cards for their Xbox's or PS3's.

I pay £109 which is around $170 (I think) for 60 down and 5 up.

I didn't watch the video, I refuse to watch anything he makes...


1. You can ONLY live stream in League Play
(League Play is a separate playlist where you face players around your caliber of skill)

I don't mind it only being in league play, I'd rather watch someone/be watched playing a competitive, hard match than a pub stomping...

2. Not everyone can live stream. You have to meet 2 requirements:
(1. You have to have a certain upload speed. Woody guesses it's between 2.5-3MB)

Who the f*ck has anything below 10mb these days? 10mb is actually the minimum service providers give in my country; this should be an issue for anyone.


(2. You need a minimum number of viewers already to start streaming)

This seems a bit sh*t, I doubt it's true. I wouldn't take everything that idiot (woody) says as truth, he knows just as much as we do.
What country you from ?

I'm actually quite jealous. The highest I've ever gotten on Speedtest was 45 down and 2 up. To me, anything past 50 down is just god like internet. So can you like notice a difference like when you go to friends' houses and use their internet?

I've not used anyone else's internet since I upgraded 4 months ago, but I suppose it would be a massive difference compared to average speeds.
