Hi, I'm interested in buying an Xbox360 to play on Live. How is the ping/lag for you guys? Do you guys connect to the Singapore or US servers?

I don't know about the ping, but all my games played on Live with little to no lag. The only game I have problem with lags is Dead Or Alive 4.

some games are ok without any lag and some with serious lag such as the outfit. overall acceptable lah.

Well its bearable when you play with local players as most (not all) XBL games are peer to peer connection, so its you connecting to my or someone else' box. Some games have hosted servers which are usually in the US/Oz/Uk I believe.

Dude just buy it, u wont regret trust me

So far, I have played GRAW, Saints Row and UNO on live.

Saints Row: Very good when playing among local players we can kill each other without much issue while trash talking each other. But when playing against ppl from other countries there are some significant lag. But you get to kill them without them knowing. They will curse u though. lol

GRAW: Very good connection. I play with few of our local ppl. Not even a feel of lag. Played once with international ppl also no lag.

UNO: Played with international ppl. No lag.

You should buy, its worth.

GRAW has the worst Live connection and its a fact btw. altho sum ppl mite not experience it but others do. its posted on the xbox site that graw has "the worst live connection" lol

GRAW's problem was that it kept booting people out of the servers when play started. I remember how frustrating it was to start co-op, and then see your team members die straight away

GRAW no problems with me...Played with Local and Out Country people no lag also...

Tell me about it.. "3, 2, 1,.. ok are we all here ****" and I disconnect

I think its because our stupiak 1 MB connections cannot support so many players

LOL....after the 3,2,1, we all hear the dying noises... although most of it is actually the players pretending to die

The best game with the least lag is definitely Halo 2 Local it's almost LAN-like and international lag ranges from slight lag to severe lag. Most of the time the lag is alright and you can still get a fair amount of kills.

I can barely play GRAW with my friend in Canada. Most arcade titles are alright but obviously if you play with dudes overseas you're bound to experience latency issues. Doom is horrible. I boosted for the achievements

But really you shouldn't be worrying about it too much. We know how bad our internet is here and we can still play local games without too much problems. The problem is simply finding the players. A few months ago you could just jump straight into a GRAW match every night. Now it's changed. So you have to somewhat follow the trend

Or you could be like me being the only one left playing Halo 2

its ok...if you're not too picky you wont notice the lag

Yup.. if you're looking to come online in the near future.. Gears Of War man...

GRAW np for me.. currently Saints Row and SCDA.. GRAW for me rocks... sometimes D/C because host D/C but then the only problem for me with GRAW is waiting in the lobby ... other than that GRAW rocks, cant wait for GoW tho

GRAW netcode was one of the worst for 360 LIVE, tho if you play with local peer shouldn't be a problem except for co-op.


Malaysia super stimix connection at best is 384kbps upload. thats fine if you play for up to 12 local peers, once more people join in sure some will DC from match. co-op would make it worst, on top of the people playing, there's the NPC which would also need bandwidth of their movement. for co-op the most stable is 4 local people only.

SG host with 1Mbps upload can host 16 team/solo elimination without hiccup, co-op not so sure. JP connection is proven the best, i played before 16 people co-op mission.

So streamyx RM66 lag or not?

^ RM66 is 1M or...?

hehe... play Graw must sing "Do re mi fa so ......" together to see who DC.... lol
