Folks, whilst we're there I'd like to conduct some bandwidth testing from the hotel to our BC2 or COD servers. Basically I'd like to get a period (possibly late night) where we can be reasonably certain nobody else is using the net and then gradually load up the internet connection by adding players to the server one by one and seeing how ping and lag goes in gameplay terms. I'd like to find out just how many players their current connection can reasonably support.
If this could be added to the agenda for the weekend I'd be very grateful.
Sounds a good idea, not sure how many we can have attaching from the same single ip.

AFAIK, Bad Company 2 is the only game that takes exception to this but it's worth considering.
I got round the problem at the last LAN by using a VPN tunnel, but it's not really a practical solution for 20+ people.
