i look at the speed of most of you and i wonder why you guys experience lag o_O. i never lagged in games unless i was downloading something on my PC or someone else using it.

Download and upload speed is not important unless your machine is acting as the server for the games.

What if Iwant to play L4D2 on PC with my friends.

Well I dunno, with PC gaming there are a lot of variables.... does L4D have dedicated servers? if so then you are probabaly ok.

It does, but the matchmaking doesn't seem to place you in good ones (don't remember if they removed the workaround to use a server browser or not). For me, it's felt more like a rarity that I'd be placed into a game where my ping was a normal ~50ms. In the number of times I've run through the Left4Dead 2 demo, I've only had one or two have a ping around 50 while the rest are sometimes 100+ and usually 200-300+.

In line with my post above, I think I even had better pings when I played the first Left4Dead on the DSL :P
