      It is due to the way there set up is. In COD2 you are not allowed to customize an online game, like you can in Ghost Recon and others. You can't invite friends and the like, so that the person hosting the game is the one with the strongest server.

      Instead it just lumps players together based on playing zones, thus leaving you at the mercy of whatever weak server it selects first. I signed a petition over at the Xbox site, which is suppose to be sent to the developer requesting changes in the online setup. Because as it stands now, COD2 is best played in single player IMO, simply because the online is a gamble at best right now. Some have had no problems, while me and others like yourself have experienced the tremendous lagging issues.

      Hopefully they will get things updated soon....hopefully :\

        The online play is still very erratic, but I like this game better than PDZ. As a matter of fact, I'm playing more Halo 2 than PDZ.

          I played about 6 games online yesterday and only had lag in one game. This was quite suprising and it ended up being very enjoyable for a change.

            It seems to be getting better. Even if there was ZERO lag the online interface is still lacking, and what about those Capture the Flag games that start you out with uneven teams?

              Just finished some late night play. I was able to hook up with a guy with a good server, and somehow played 4 games in a row with him, with no lag. I can't understand why guys with lousy servers bother to host a game. If you are at the top of the lobby, set to host, and don't have a good connection BACK OUT OF THE GAME!

                They are supposed to be working on a patch for the laggy online play and the crappy online interface.
