I have had the Linksys WRT54G router for years now and every game I play is fine. However, I am lagging big time in Gears of War 3. My friends are fine but I am bouncing all over the map. Here are my questions:

Says my NAT is moderate, can this cause lag b/c its not open? I have never had a problem joining anyone or talking to anyone on Live. If I open my NAT which is the safest way to do it, DMZ, port fowarding, something else?

I know it would help but do you think it would solve my problem if I wired the router to the XBOX? Does NAT not apply if you are wired? Is lag caused more by my xbox being wireless or my ISP.

Why do I only lag in Gears? I am fine on all other xbox and ps3 games?

I could have sworn I used to see a line chart on this site displaying what are the most popular games online for xbox but now can't find it anywhere. I know Black Ops and Reach will be on top of that list but I am curious where BF: 2 Bad Company falls on that list as I have an itch to play it but want to make sure the servers are still very active.

Can anyone point me to a list or chart showing what games are being played the most on xbox live?

I for one really enjoy KZ3. I love how every MP game is compared to COD now, can't anything be different, if I wanted to play COD gamestyle then I would just play COD. I enjoy the art in KZ3, less campers, takes more then a bullet to kill someone , I love the different game modes and classes. I like to switch classes on the fly in Warzone and have the ability to change my play styledepending on my class. I like trying to work as a team and resupplying and healing my teamates. I like that KZ3 is dfferent and a nice change of pace of COD.

I will admit it takes some time to enjoy the MP and unlock things like armor and better guns. I didn't love it at first but kept at it and once I got the maps down and found the 3 classes I enjoy to play then I was loving the MP. 3 hours to me is not enough time to hate a game with this much passion.

Overpriced for me. And i know there are people out there that will buy them no matter what but i will not be one of them in hopes the companiesbringthe pricedown to something realistic like 5 beanss. (ex. KZ3) I would be curious to see the numbers if a big game like COD did offer 5 dollar map packs to see how much moey they genrate vs 15 dollar map packs. I know I would buy for 5. My other issue is that i know all my friends will not buy them so what doyou do when you are playing with them and the new maps load.

Anyone know why Rachet and Clank was only made available to the EU region. That was the only game i was looking forward to when I first saw the list a few days ago.

I want everything bigger, espically the font. I have a 50 inch screen and still strain to see some things. So much real estate on my screen not being used. I think the 360 does a much better job of using the real estate.
