Hey guys here are some basic ways to make your NAT type open.

Now underneath where it says invite on the play online section there is a thing called NAT type here is what you will see.

* Open - You will get into games more quickly, have better matchmaking, and host migration will succeed more often.
* Moderate - Matchmaking will go more slowly, you'll get into less games, and host migration will be harder.
* Strict - You'll get into less games, matchmaking might take a long time, and you will fail to migrate to a new host more often.


To Open your NAT heres what you do

OPEN Your NAT:
A good first step to try is rebooting your router, sometimes this will OPEN your NAT right away.


Next, log into your router and turn on UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), most routers have this option in the Administration tab.


The goal is to have an OPEN NAT in order to host Spec Ops games and get a wider selection of MP matches to join.


For more information on enabling UPnP on your router, visit your router manufacturer's website. A few of the most popular router web sites are listed below:

This really is a must!

You can youtube it also to see how its done. Or geek Squad at Best Buy can do it for you for free if you buy a new router.

This sounds all so familiar...but it is nice to read it again since I forgot what the other one said...

And would anyone happen to know how to open the NAT on a Speedstream router?
