I've had a lot of issues with Black Ops in terms of not being able to connect to certain friends, getting kicked 2, 3 times from the pre-game lobby etc etc. and I've now found out why that is! Thought I'd share it on here as it will probably help a few others.
My NAT type on MW2 was alway Open, 100% of the time, however on Black Ops I noticed the other day it was Strict. Check this yourself by going into MP, into options and press select. If the nat type is strict when it's been open for you previously, follow these steps...
1. Find your MW2 disc - no this isn't a joke (presuming you haven't sold it), and load up to the MW2 party screen where it shows your nat type in the bottom left.
2. Eject the MW2 disc, don't quit game - just eject the disc and this will take you back to the XMB.
3. Load up Black Ops without resetting your PS3, go into MP and your Nat type will now be open!!
There seems to be a bug where it's displaying some peoples nat type incorrectly, this was causing me all my problems. I got host about 5 times last night for the first time since black ops came out, and was getting kicked about 95% less than before
