Ok so I have not been able to play the online portion of the game at all! After finally getting around to troubleshooting the issue. After taking my entire PC-Tower to a friends with a different ISP I was able to connect flawlessly. So obviously my rig compatibility was not the culprit. I found that my ports (Nighthawk router) were in fact not being opened after forwarding. Yes the router was functioning properly and I also tested without the router.
Solution,
It was in fact that I have "Mediacom" and after having them come to my house and confirm their crap was all working properly and exhaustive complaining. They also ensured me that the crappy modem router mesh pile was baselined and the internal router was turned off. Did NOT matter at all, I finally went to walmart and purchased my own modem Arris Surfboard SB8200... guess WHAT!?!?! ports finally opened completely and the GAME WORKS FINE!
So, if you have one of those modem/router combo's i would suggest getting rid of it because it causes you to have a double nat and the ISP router is not capable of forwarding ports properly since it appears to be hard programmed to block most ports for "Security reasons" they say. I'm honestly saddened that no one has posted this fix sooner, please spread the word.
Good Luck and i hope this helps at least someone!
