maybe (im just guessing) it has to do with not enough players in pakistan playing the game..so it finds the next best connection (neighbouring countries) When u search for a game it shows at the top... >30 , >40 , >50 and so on right? well... anything over 100 would be a bit laggy...if it cant find a game below 100 ping then maybe ur just out of luck! Black ops comes out in 3-4 days and apparently it has regional matchmaking which means u SHOULD be able to get games in your region without being connected to a far away place which makes you lag!

Indeed. If the host is not in Pakistan (host is random, best connection in the game), it still connects, but the host may be in Italy, for example. Pakistan is far from Italy, so there's big packet loss, which causes your ping to drop. A 5MBPS connection is fine, I mostly have 6.5-7 and I also have 2 ping bars, but when the host is in Greece, I get 3 or 4.

PS yes I'm Greek, that's why I said in Greece.
