Not likely. "User perspective" is more the case.
If the engine interpolates at 100ms intervals, and you're
playing with a 120ms ping, that means only 2/3rds of your
updates are being considered by the server. Add in the
fact that you're 1/2 second behind what the server sees
and you'll get killed after you've apparently reached
cover and other assorted visual annoyances.
There's not much of a way way around this, though.
If the game needs to accommodate 20ms pingers and 230ms
pingers and still be a close-action sort of deal, at some
point you simply run out of time to buffer actions.
