When I'm playing the multiplayer online, I sometimes see a card thing in the bottom corner. Then I can't move or shoot or nothin'. What the hell is that thing?

Your connection is failing, ie very bad lag. How do you connect to the internet/what's your speed?

There's a satalite. And a router. And it works sometimes, doesn't others. As of speed, who knows?

That's a picture of your phone line getting unplugged. Tells you there's a connection problem.

Yes, satellite is very bad. Ouch. Try getting off your satellite plan and getting at least DSL, maybe cable if it's available. Those are the same price as satellite but are hardwired.

He means hes got a freakin satellite connection! But yeah, when that happens, its basically your cue to leave. It just means that you are now lagging beyond belief.

Yeah...that picture of doom lurks in the corner...it awaits in the dark sewers of the online underground...once an unsuspecting player stumbles upon it....there...is...no...return....

THE MODEM OF DOOM SHALL KILL US ALL!

*Ahem.* sorry. Had to say that. Yeah, satellite sucks. Dont use it. Sometimes just one person with a bad connection in a game is enough to destroy it for everyone else.
