jamaicaman Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Ok, i like a lot of online multiplayer video games. One I like is Halo. Now i go on and there is this thing called ping that you can see on the right side of the menu, and the score sheet thing. I have asked numerous people what it is, but no one has known. What is it? Also in another game i play (Call of Duty 2) some timewhen i try to join a server, it will say, "this server was meant for low ping players" or something like that. If possible, how can i lower my ping so i can play in those games? Thank You!j0e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 In games that means the amount of time it takes for your computer to send data to the game server. You really can't just lower your ping. If one server says your ping is to high it's probably because it's too far away. Try and pick one closer to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IEatHardDrives Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yeah make sure you search for the server with the lowest ping and turn off extra programs like AIM, Limewire and if your on 56k its very hard to get a low ping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
