I just went into the network settings and looked at my connection. It had 3 bars. I pointed the antenna in each direction and got 2 bars and 1 bar. Apparently 3's the best I can get. Which was never a problem on any other game. But when I played my friend last night it was pretty horrible. I dont know if it goes both ways so it might have been caused by him. But regardless, there's not much excuse for it. Games like COD4 and Halo and Gears have twice as many people running with a lot more varried connections and never nearly this bad
