ok, how this is possible I have no idea, however this is what is happening...
on my friend's 384kbps ADSL line we have 2 pcs running bf3 multiplayer at the same time, in the same party, on the same server and it runs perfectly. in fact we tested the overall experience and it seems less laggy with both of us playing at the same time than just one pc on its own. how is that possible!?
as a joke I suggested we try playing bf3 at the same time because starcraft was getting boring (which is all that normally runs with 2 people on this line, COD MW 2 was impossible when we tried to play that, so laggy), but bf3 was flawless. it really got me wondering because his isp is normally slower than mine, yet playing an FPS as new as this runs great.
Is it just really good net code or is there something special in the coffee here?
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that BF3 has Dedicated Servers, while MW2 does not.
BF3 IS better crafted than MW2 when it comes to game design quality etc. IMO.

I think you may be imagining things, coincidental? ???
