What Andy says is best but do you perhaps have another computer on? If so, turn it off then do what Andy says. Do not switch the other computer back on, then try the PS3. If this works then it could be Malware on a computer taking up bandwidth or something else.Quote:

If your router has updated then you may require to open a port try the below link.

Also I suggest trying a speedtest to see what happens with and without your ps3 on your network.
Let us know how you get on. :thumbs up:.
Oh and go to http://uk.playstation.com/help-suppo...ware/download/ and download the latest update. I know you may already have this but possibly it has become corrupt so you may have to wipe and replace. I posted a how to a few pages ago in this thread for updating via a keyfob, just follow that.
Yeah where is Gordy?
What!! :eek: hope you get it sorted out soon Alan, hopefully is easily fixed like Ferengo says and wont be £££ fingers crossed mate.Quote:

It's a known fault with Warner Brothers discs, The Hulk apparently has the same problem, try a non Warner Bros discQuote:

Anyone on tonight?
Just wondering if anyone would be up for this but how do you feel about one night playing through all the maps from start to finish? We can setup what game type to do on each map and vary it and also decide if it's any weapons, demolitions, knives only etc... on that map.
Yes I should be on but later bout 8.30 - 9 ish coz im helping a mate of mine move a wardrobe to his house first. :thumbs up:Quote:

Some great games tonight.:thumbs up::clap:
Alan, you need to stop crying that we're using illegal guns and get one of your own:rolleyes:. You see the carnage it causes.:yes nod:
A.:D
I prefer to use skill over pot luck :moonie:Quote:

Those were some shots, and TBH, for one of them, I couldn't even see you, I just knew you'd ducked in behind that building - figured what the f***.Quote:

As much as it's annoying to be killed by an enemy you can't see, we have the option to camp and snipe also, or amend our game tactics to get the little buggers in their camp.
Alan says he prefers skill over pot luck. This is from the guy who a few weeks ago was telling us to use an MP5 and not aim, just run amok, shooting from the hip. Where's the skill in that?
Like Ferengo says, those two grenade launcher kills I got with him last night we very carefully aimed virtually from one side of the map to the other.
The last thing I would want to do is piss someone off so they don't enjoy playing the game any more but it didn't stop me when FergusM and Ferengo were planting multiple claymores around a map. You learn to step a bit more carefully where you're walking.:thumbs up:
A.:D

As for shooting from the hip with an MP5, there is skill there, you get sights when you fire and you place them on a close target.
I've learned that with the shotgun, if you don't aim and just shoot in the direction it's more deadly but you need to be more precise. It also doesn't slow your aim down. It's works for the uzi too :D.Quote:
