I have this problem too but only when I join servers out of my country. Damn, in the beta there was this bug and I didn't have it once but now every time I join a non-italian server I get kicked every 2-3 minutes!!!
The fact that you get dropped playing on servers outside your country supports a theory of mine. I think that this game's bandwidth variance settings are too tight. In other words, the game is configured to function with little tolerance for bandwidth/ping swings. Just using random number for an example such as, if the client's internet connection experiences a 300k+ fluctuation, the connection will drop.
I have to use a line-of-sight wireless broadband service that terminates into ethernet at the antenna and runs into my house. To say the least, its not the most stable service but I have no other option. The point here is that there are times my bandwidth fluctuates at high traffic times on the local network and when I would play Black Ops and it fluctuated enough (it had to be a lot), my connection would get dropped.
Its' made me wonder if that is the problem with this game. The main problem being is that the game is configured with too tight of a bandwidth variance. Even though you have good broadband service, if somebody else on your LAN starts downloading something etc, it could cause enough of a fluctuation that triggers the disconnect.
It's the only theory that makes sense to me. I've tried every possible fix including but not limited to bypassing my router and reinstalling the game. So far nothing has worked and I've given up even trying to play. It's been three weeks and still no fix?
