How to Fix the Ping in Metal Gear Online

Konami's "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" for the Sony PlayStation 3 has an online mode that many players refer to as "Metal Gear Online." If your ping on "Metal Gear Online" is limiting your gameplaying ability, you need to fix it. If you do not, you are slowing down every player in every match that you play. Steps are available to help ensure that you can play "Metal Gear Online" without any ping hiccups.

Instructions

- 1
  Play only one online game at a time. If anyone else in your household is trying to play another online video game on another TV or computer in the house, this slows down your connection.
- 2
  Pause all downloads while playing. Downloads capture a lot of information that is needed to have a smooth "Metal Gear Online" experience. Pause the downloads until you have finished playing "Metal Gear Online."
- 3
  Close any web browsers that are open. Many websites, such as online email clients, constantly download information to check for updates. Bookmark your pages if you need and close the browser.
- 4
  Turn off instant messaging programs such as Yahoo! Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger and Windows Live Messenger. These require information constantly downloaded from the Internet to run.
