MOH is a system hog. Compared to some other games, such as UT2003 & jedi Outcast, it's unbearable to play for low-performance systems. More than likely the reason your FPS is jumping is from moving to calm zones to more crowded zones in the map. Generally, looking into a corner of a wall and at the floor, will give you the lowest ping, but when actually playing the game and facing enemies, your ping can drop dramitcally.
