What is a ping on CoD
A ping is like your connection bars on the scoreboard, if you have a four bar connection you have full "ping". It is more used on the PC than consoles. A ping is the amount of time it takes for data to travel to a server, and to get back to you, this varies on many different internet connections, here are some: ms = milliseconds
  • Cable (20+ms)
  • DSL (50-200ms)
  • Dial up (500+ms)
  • Satellite (690-1200+ms)
  • EVDO/3G/CDMA (100+)
But really most of the time it just depends on your speed. These are just average pings. If only the "bars" were numerical.
