Painful. Some of the worst lag I've experienced in a loooong time playing this game. I'm surprised that I didn't get killed or sync-killed more often than I did. This is Gold difficulty vs. Reapers on Firebase Rio. Failed on Wave 8. If only I'd been able to use my medigel...!

Yeah I could have quit, but I am stubborn and curious (and don't want to waste my equipment). And looking at the video now, some of it is amusing looking from the outside in ;-)

Highlights & Lowlights
0:22 Ravager: I *think* I killed it?
0:45 Backing away from Brute, and... what?
1:18 Wave 5 - Banshee mega-teleport, aaaaand grabbed (Spectator Mode gets... confusing)
6:55 Fun with Brute
8:57 Wave 7 starts... I think....?
9:33 Wave 7 finally catches up with me apparently
9:58 Marauder walking to heaven (and maybe I died again, not really sure)
11:28 Shooting Ravager.. and whoops, where'd it go?
12:52 Attempting to revive.. attempting to revive...
12:56 Revive kicks in (though apparently too late)
14:23 Wave 8: wat choo lookin' at
15:35 I'd really like to revive you but - wait, did I just die?
16:15 Not sure...
16:40 Medigel button doesn't work (believe me, I'm pressing it) + Fail

In the interest of potentially helping someone else, here is a helpful post on the Bioware Forums about fixing or improving joining/hosting issues. The port 3659 seemed to really help me. I forwarded port 3659 directly to my computer from my router/firewall.. and I also turn off my software firewall when playing.
