Check your ping if it's higher than, let's say 400, they will ask you to leave.The funny thing is I was playing yesterday everybody's ping was 999 even mine,then I left because the game was to laggy,went to another room ,and my on that room was 58.

Go figure,I have cable.

One more thing, try joining servers with higher pings.They won't mind.

Check your phone/cable company for high speed connection in your area.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

The 999 pings were probably because someone was hosting AND playing the game from their own PC and not a dedicated server, and it's likely that the host didn't know what the limits were as to the number of players his connection and PC would allow.

Thus, the lag.

A good rule to follow is to avoid servers where you see one of the players has a ping of 0.
