The same thing happened to friend of mine. His computer was too slow for good connection. This may not be the case.

well, im not completely sure it will work for servers and whatnot, but i managed to get training to work. im using a netbook, so i do have a slow computer as well. it took forever waiting for the training, but it finally loaded. i was a bit laggy, but not enough to cause problems ingame. like i said tho, i have yet to try playing on an actual server, so im not sure yet if those will work or not.

Do you have any large programs or games on you computer? The extra space changes speed tremendously.

my old computer did this with black ops 2. sadly it was too slow or old too play online people said theres nothing you can do about it but get a better computer. <---- not saying this is the only option but its what i did.

well, i finally got training to work, but now it freezes whenever it loads a map.it loads it but then it freezesat the very end of loading the map, about when it says "retrieving server info" any ideas?
