    My NAT is Moderate and I haven't had any issues yet, except for the long matchmaking times.

    Noticed this too. Playing against the bots make you lazy. And then you suck when playing against other players. Or at least I do.

    I have the same issues and I've actually never found a match searching. I always just join friends. BUT...my NAT type is Moderate ever since I added an additional wifi router to my connection (I'm on 1mbps DSL btw).

    How do you get rid of your moderate NAT? Should I do port forwarding or something? Anyone got any suggestions? I'm a bit of a noob with networking vibes...

    I think you need to set up port forwarding on your router config.

    Yeah, I always post before freaken any googling...
    Found this:

    But thing is, I actually have 2 routers on different subnets. One DSL router, then a secondary wifi 3G router (which I basically use as a switch and 3G backup if the DSL goes down). So I presume I'd have to forward the ports on both to set it all up.

    I'll report back...

    Yeah I would open the ports on both and see what happens. Had this issue with COD on Xbox, if I recall correctly port forwarding solved my issues.

    Yup, set my secondary router to a static IP, set my Xbox to static IP. Enabled port forwarding on the port in the links.
    Open NAT type baby! Thanks for the help Grimspoon.
