My NAT type is fine. I just bought CoD and it says that my upstream bandwidth or something is very bad compared to everyone else's. On CoD I dont notice the lag when playing, but the kill replay shows about 2-3 seconds of difference. Sometimes I get shots off, die, watch the replay and I dont even turn toward the opponent before I fall. In Crysis it doesn't seem to matter as much because the stealth & movement give me that 3 seconds back in confrontations.
I win about 1 out of every 5 matches, and I'm the host about 1 in 100 (I start off by apologizing to the other players, and since I always win those matches I dont count them to myself as wins). Even with lag, the mechanics of crysis allow you to make a good showing anyhow. I would say that if you have bad cnnection, you are better off on a fast game with 1 hit kills than the other FPS on the market, just my opinion.
