The Conduit's versus Call of Duty: World at War's online connection speed

[kaminohanshin]

Lots of peopel say conduit is easy and stupid...but honestly, when I went back to my other ps3 games, they aiming and killing was a LOT easier because you barely have to think about aiming, you hardly have to shoot to kill enemies because headshot means instant death, unlike in teh conduit where a freaking round from the SCAR so far besides teh SAW kills an enemy before they can kill you while you attempt to run out and fire at their head. This game actually made me better at my other games.

[steviefan96]

Every has hackers. Conduit is a lot better

[CoffeewithGames]

@steviefan96

Perhaps based on graphics and controls...compared to Call of Duty: World at War, but not to online play.

Call of Duty: World at War didn't have the spawn bug...The Conduit did. The spawn bug was absolutely horrendous for The Conduit, and it was basically the main reason I traded the game off when I did.

[steviefan96]

The conduit is Way better than cod. Better graphics, better controls. Overall conduit is awesome

[CoffeewithGames]

@steviefan96 But...the online play in Call of Duty: World at War was smoother than The Conduit's, with fewer bugs/hacks/glitches, so Call of Duty: World at War was my preferred FPS at the time.

From what I know, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex and Call of Duty: Black Ops are both really solid online, and offer customizable controls...so here's hoping Conduit 2 can up the bar again.

So what if you have to wait a few minutes for the game to start up! Play PSP or DS while your waiting if it bothers you sooooo much!

[frenzy36]

i have the conduit and i like it but i really think its connection is shit and more with that fucking online error

[rkfan2323]

on average how long does it take to get a game started on the conduit?

also, what other modes beside free for all is there? is there CTF and teams?

and can you play with random people or do you have to play with friends only?

[CoffeewithGames]

Thanks for the comment.

Average is hard to say with The Conduit, because of the spawn glitch that is random. If everything works smoothly, I would say average is probably 3 minutes.

There are other modes in The Conduit, with CTF and teams.

Also, you can play with random people, that's how both these matches were set up.

[yidarmy400]

I dont have the game but i know this, you can have teams and you can do random people ,its not that slow to load its just his settings on his game k

[soccerkid895]

sup dude u can play regonal, worldwide, and with frends

team objective is pretty much like ctf

[42crazyguy]

wow, no contest between the 2 games,

waw is WAAAAY faster

[fuddy12345]

The Conduit isn't that great.. It is overrated. Can't wait till Modern Warfare Reflex is out, its gonna own The Conduit. Nice try High Voltage..

[CoffeewithGames]

I wouldn't say The Conduit is overrated, but the online for it is definitely plagued by bugs/glitches/hackers, which makes it extremely annoying.

I will say Modern Warfare Reflex looks pretty good from the videos I've been seeing, but I won't know until I see it on my TV. If the online in Modern Warfare Reflex is as smooth as COD:WaW's, then it's going to be a good game(as long as no killer bugs/glitches like The Conduit has).

[fuddy12345]

The Conduit doesn't have a good campaign.. Call of Duty has a much better campaign. The whole campaign in the Conduit, you are walking through a series of hallways and killing aliens and bad guys. Rarely you get outside.. Sometimes there are boss fights but they are just to darn easy. The best part of the Conduit is the graphics and the controls. Modern Warfare is gonna have the graphics and all those controls so it is going to be awesome.

[soccerkid895]

um call of duty sucs for the wii and is a stupid port

the conduit is beast and buillt for wii

[fuddy12345]

Ok, thats your OPINION. but the game doesn't suck and thats my OPINION.

[BIGDDOG95]

@soccerkid895 do u have cod waw or reflex i guess not waw and reflex have more reasons to play online and almost no ingame hackers and a choice oh the wep u want no other team have rocket launcher and u have light machine guns

[AQWaddict]

Your loading time does. Your loading time will increase, and you will have to wait longer. Your internet doesn't magically decide "hey guys, I'm going to run faster than I already am [full capacity.]" Seriously, who's the fanboy? Go back and look what I typed. I haven't typed a thing incorrect. I'm only seeing a repeating trend of your opinions and false facts.

[pumpkinporn]

cont ... As u will see in the upcoming cod, there will be minimal changes to loading time. oh and to answer your q. Your the fanboy. Def of fanboy using Define:Someone who is utterly devoted to a single subject or hobby, often to the point where it is considered an obsession.

Sounds like someone ... And in repliance to what you said before, no you have not said anything wrong as such but nothing factual and you provide no evidence in your replies. You use terms like "i am sure" and i "think."

[AQWaddict]

Lol. I'm pretty sure you can't compare the two. For example, if you added 4 more players to Cod's online, then I'm sure the connection time would be flying at around 5 minutes. So yeah, Conduit when put in proportion to WAW would probly win.

[CoffeewithGames]

From both games menus:

The Conduit took right over 2 minutes to get into a match.

Call of Duty: World at War, took just under 1 minute to get into a match.

While increasing the number of players to 12 in COD:WaW may increase the connection time, I don't see it doubling the connection time for the game, so I think it would still beat The Conduit's connection time.

[AQWaddict]

Your joking right? Listen. The reason there's only 8 players allowed in COD:WAW is cuz it can't even run the next even number: 10. CoD:WaW can't handle 12 players, so if you want to put it this way: CoD:WaW: Infinite loading time. Conduit: 2 minutes.

Anyways, yes, adding just 2 people to a game can send the connection time up two times as much as before. its an exponential process really.

[AQWaddict]

Anyways what did you think? That CoD:WaW at 12 players would be faster than Conduit and Treyarch just decided not to do 12 players cuz they don't wanna? You have to be an idiot to believe that. CoD:WaW has worse graphics than the Conduit (meaning it loads faster) and in Conduit when you connect to 12 players it may not just be the lag, but you wait an extra 10 seconds waiting for the game to load a single person to see there name. So its this process as well. Anyways, Conduit wins scaled connect

[pumpkinporn]

ahhh yes u can. no matter how many players u add to cods system, cod uses hosts which means no matter what u will only have to connect to 1 player. HVS had a wonderful(stupid) idea to make you connect ot every single player in the lobby. not only did this waste internet and lead to making people capped for everyone it was extremely slow.

[AQWaddict]

This video is still trying to compare apples and oranges... Make CoD:WaW run with 12 players and then we can truly see which is faster.

[pumpkinporn]

1. Why are you defending the conduit... *cough*fanboy*cough*

2.I just explained how the two different systems worked. For cod u only connect to one person, for conduit u connect to up to 11, THAT is why conduit connection time is slow and will always be slower then that of cod. If there was an extra 2 people it would not affect the loading time, it would just make the host use more internet

[AQWaddict]

Don't even say fanboy, go learn the definition. Secondly, the Conduit does have a host system, so I don't see why those weren't compared (joing a friends game in private.) And as for your next statement, I'm gonna quote you because it made no sense: "if there was an extra 2 people it would not affect the loading time, it would just make the host use more internet." Do you know how stupid that sounds? Very. When you add stuff that needs to be loaded, your internet connection doesn't change, cont.

[pumpkinporn]

lol says the fanboy spamming a page simply because he likes a game... And no it doesnt sound stupid, you are just retarded so i will explain once again... Conduit makes u connect to every one of the players in the room, Call Of Duty makes you connect to 1 person, the host... i honestly have no idea why you are fighting that post. There will be very minimal if at all connection time increase using the cod system... cont.

[nathan15203]

COD WAW no competition

[DarkstarrLu]

lol

The Conduit suckz ballz

[NinSegaSoft]

this goes to show there's one benefit to having used Dial Up in the past; it gives you epic patience skillz!

[WiiAwards]

i liek the conduit more if i have a long tiem to play but if im only playing for 10-20 min all play cod conduit overall is the better game because of its features graphics and wii speak if any1 wants my cod or conduit fc just send a message

[TheConduitKing]

lool my videos in the related vids :3

[CoffeewithGames]

I actually watched your hacker video last week. Good job on getting ranked all the way up.

[shawnisrich]

How many takes did you have to do to get Tcon to connect on the first time?

[CoffeewithGames]

I'm actually writing another article directly about The Conduit's online play...I have SEVERAL videos from this attempt to use for the article that deal with exactly what you're talking about. It's hit or miss with The Conduit, this was showing if both games hop directly into an online match like they're supposed to.
