Don't host .. Put a router between your ISP modem/router and your PS3 .. Don't enable DMZ and do not enable port forwarding .. Less of a chance you'll pull host .. This way, at least you'll have a chance a some decent games ..

speed test off my laptop (would be 25 and 25 if i wasn't wireless)

i have noticed a major difference so far today but i have a feeling come prime time today it will be right back to lagging again

we shall see.......

one of the first patches they adjusted host advantage not sure what they did but all i know is all over the message boards and online people complaining about getting host and getting screwed over.i've had it happen also, i've left on purpose and rejoined then i get a decent game.it's just sad they have not posted a reply to us.

Hey guys im on ps3 and ever since that patch 1.08 i think it was every time i pull host i lag.. and its not like i think im lagging im talking like my guy is skipping all over the place and this is really pissin me off because i constantly pull host or if im in a lobby and the host leaves it make me host prolly 85% of the time this has made the game unplayable its seriously making me not play the game. Im pretty good no phenom or nothing but i can be going  22-6 18-5 24-3 in the same lobby with the same ppl for 3-4 games straight then host leaves it makes me host then im putting up numbers like 8-17 11-17 till i back out then have to regroup my clan its BS.. My internet is verizon fios 25/25 and im on a wired connection no other devices running but maybe a computer every now and then and not doing any downloading or nothing so im not sure what i need to do or if i should just give up?? any help or even comment would be helpful.

It's pretty simple, here I will explain...

Hosting is directly related to your UPLOAD speed. If you don't want to end up being host, LOWER your UPLOAD speed. Your upload speed is not that important as most of the data that would cause lag on YOUR side is related to your DOWNLOAD speed. The only way to do this, that I know of, is with your ROUTER. And I am not sure that every router has that capability, my DLink does. So when you want to play MW3, just go into your router settings page and restrict the upload stream to 1-2Mbps and you're all set. Hope that helps.
