Anything you do to intentionally give yourself an advantage over you opponent is cheating. Now, granted, there is nothing they can do about this other then fixing the matchmaking. I have to use wireless because of where my router is compared to my system, but I don't do it to lower my connection quality to gain an advantage. I can not control whether my roommates or our friends and loved ones use the internet here. So, even if they could see that your signal was degraded due to multiple things running across your internet connection, they couldn't ban you for it, let alone kick you. All they can do is ensure that they put people in the same area, with similar connection speeds, in the same lobbies.

However, people tend to forget that people from around the world team up and go into lobbies as six man teams and because of this, that isn't always possible. We can always dream of Utopia, but fairy tales are just that.

people that mess on with there conection are the problem they are doing it to try and gain an advantage .why worry about anybody else, he is doing this, he is doing that, just play the game you get some good games some bad thats online gaming , im not having a go at anybody just thats my opinion on this topic .

Right. Well I mean honestly if I want to test a theory out, then I'm going to do it, simple as that. In my findings, crippling your connection does absolutely no good anyhow, at least for me. I've tried torrenting files and uploading to youtube while playing as well, and it was 10 times worse. I only needed a few minutes of playtime to figure this out.

However if this does work for some people, then in my opinion that's a problem with the game, not the players. I mean, if you can gain an advantage by bogging down your connection, then that's pretty @ss backwards on the devs' part, don't you think?

Hosts should automatically spawn in as an assault juggernaut. Otherwise hosting is a death sentence. You can always tell when you host this game. Avoid it like the plague...Migrating Host

yes the in game lag comp or whatever people call it should give everybody a even playing feild. im no expert but the combinations of equipment provider ect proberly makes it imposable for them to get it right add in people downloading messing with settings i would think it just turns into a minefeild.
