For instance when I click team deathmatch and find a game just as it finishes loading it says the usual waiting for other players and it disconnects either saying connection to steam server lost, connection timed out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Also when I try to join my friend&amp;rsquo;s game or party it says unable to join.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Will changing the NAT to open solve this problem because I highly doubt it that this will solve the problem because my friends NAT is strict and he can join my party and my game without any problems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Please advise me on all possible solutions to overcome this problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;I have my Upnp settings enabled on my router and I have forwarded the port 3074 UDP and TCP and my NAT still says its moderate, I want to be able to join my friends game for special ops online but I am afraid that if I open my NAT I will host multiplayer games and I don&amp;rsquo;t want that is there any way to host spec ops games without opening my NAT if I cannot do that please tell me how to change my NAT from moderate to open.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Secondly spec ops: here the problem, I am also unable to join my friends special ops lobby and multiplayer lobby and when I am the host my friends are unable to join my game and even if they do manage to join my game we start two player online spec ops and after a few seconds it disconnects and it says "lost connection to other player for 12 seconds". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;I am playing on a PC my specs meet the recommended requirements, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Intel core 2 duo E7500 2.93 Ghz, 2gb ram, geforce 9600 1 gb ram.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 doesnt lag in game, unless I am in a public match and my ping is bad then the game lags online. The anti-virus I have installed is Kaspersky. The modem which I use is Billion 400G.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:767c2ed9-f496-4a59-9b32-c841b57e14cf] --&gt;</description>
