Battlefield 3 PC bandwidth usage assessed

Thats nothing since you can get it on wage freezoned :D

But try playing mw3 matchmaking an hours game is about 120megs. Since I got a strong line I end up hosting 90% of the time.

Host advantage much?:D

Bandwidth requirements definitely have reduced. But it seems the okies with 384 lines have lag problems when playing BF3 and on Teamspeak.
 
Wow, those numbers are lower than I thought it would be.

If those numbers are accurate, it means BF3 uses average 68 kbps. So even if it maxs much higher than that, there should be no problem with playing on a 384k line. 4.92MB upstream equates to average 34 kbps, so unless teamspeak uses more than 60 kbps upsteam, they shouldn't be experiencing lag because of bandwidth limit.
 
We'll also be having a look at how much data Modern Warfare 3 consumes, so keep an eye out for our findings next week.

Pretty much the same as COD4, COD MW2 and COD BLOPS I would imagine... :D
