Go to speed test.net and get the accurate speed. If it is near 3 Mbps then go for the game.

If you have dial-up connection, you should look for a different type. For Online Gaming you can’t have a dial-up connection. Every game you play online will definitely not work as you expect it. So my advice is that you get rid of your dial-up connection and start to look for a good broadband internet connection.
If you want to be serious with online gaming, and you probably want that, you should consider using a broadband internet connection. Most game manufacturers give you the advice of a DSL or Cable connection. But as you may know, there are multiple types of speed for these connections. So how do you choose the correct speed?
Depending on the type of game, you should have a minimum of a 1 or 2 mbps (megabits per second) connection. You could start with a ADSL broadband or ADSL2+ broadband. But if you have this speed, make sure you are the only one using the connection when you play. If someone else or another computer is using the same connection and is (for example) downloading large amounts of data, this will definitly influence your gaming experience.

Think 10 Mbps is good enough.

You should go with the speed between 3mbps to 5mbps, Then you feel no problem for playing the game...........
