Is anyone else experiencing serious lag when trying to play the Spec Ops missions in MW2 over LIVE?

On 512 ADSL I've managed to host small private games (4 players) without too much issue, but 2 player Spec Ops is so laggy it's unplayable :(

Anyone have any ideas?
 
OK. Having done some looking around elsewhere I have discovered that you need a 4Mb connection to host a Special Ops game in MW2. Oh well, single player Special Ops for me it is then :(
 
No, it's not that you need a 4mb line. I know some guys on the Xbox forums are claiming this, but it's not true at all. They're saying it's because of the AI, which is absolute rubbish. If it's because of AI control, why does the Pit mission lag? Right.

There's obviously a bug at work here. If you're getting lag, try quitting the mission, reopening the lobby, and starting over. This has worked for me.

If you look up 'modern warfare 2 spec ops lag' on Google, you'll get loads of hits. People with 16mb lines are having the same problem. Extremely annoying, really, because Spec Ops is absolutely fantastic. :<
 
PC version is buggered also. Me and Grimspoon tried it last friday night, didn't want to connect and then when we got in, major, Major LAG.

Oh well, there goes my theory. I suppose we'll just have to wait for a patch?
 
Me and Hashling have played the first two spec op maps on pc, completely lag free. Dumb A.I. though. I hosted and I am running on 512kbps. Is it only certain maps that are lagging?
