hi guys, im having a problem with my pings in game on call of duty 4. Whenever im searching for games or refreshing my favourites list my ping is fine but once im in game it shoots up by 50-150 so if i join a game thats say 40 i hit 90-100 in game, or if server is saying 120 it'l go up to 220-260. Anyone know why?? Thanks

it could be alot of things really.viruses,and spyware do ya have any?it could be your internet connection.also it could be the distance of the server from you.have you reset your modem,and/or router?be sure to clear your internet cache with a disk cleanup.

no spyware or viruses, internet connection is supposed to prioritise gaming server is in america im in britain but its a clan server and i never had this prob with cod2, router has recently been recent and i keep my computer clean with regular disk cleanups. Im on a wireless conection.

Can you try it with a wired connection so we can rule out any interference with the wireless connection.

ok be sure to post back if this helps,or not.ive had problems off,and on with wireless.so i just ran me a cable due to the fact many things can interfere with wireless.
