Hi, do we need to be online all the time if we want to play with other guys?? I have a slow internet connection, will I be able to play Multiplayer in games like CoD4?? Tell me briefly, as I don't know anything 'bout Multiplaying. Does internet connection require only for getting to a server, or is it has to be ON for playing with friends?? Slower connections doesn't affect the gameplay, no?? Please tell me

Yes in some games It does affect the overall performance..
And Yes you do need to be connected to internet to do online multiplay(duh) unless you share a local network in which you just nee to be in LAN.
If you have a 64kbit/sec then forget about COD4 256Kbit/s is minimum for decent play W/o Lag and delay
Moreover join servers that have a latency of less than 150ms.. India has a very bad routing so we suffer from latency issues.

^^Thnx
