yeah, if the pings are bad then one can assume the game is bad. If the pings ever get to normal, game will be OK. Since the pings are bad right now, the game will have major lag in it and won't be fun to play because everyone else will kill you because your character "freezes" as the game tries to send the character's coordinates to the gaming server. If the gameserver dosne't receive the coordinates it thinks that charater isn't moving so other player sees character as jus standing there and they shoot you. A game is just a streamin app, but there is no jitter buffer because everything is in real time.
