Half of my regulars are in Europe or South America or Asia. Some of them come in with fairly ugly pings, but a ping of ~225 from Europe is not at all unusual. Not the best, but still perfectly playable (at least for those of us that remember what it was like to play with dial up modems LOL). Back in my day (when Men were Men and I had to walk barefoot in the snow to school - uphill - both ways...) I could, with my 250ms ping, whip the cable modem guys butts easily. If you are good, you are good even with mediocre ping, and if you suck, then you whine and cheat I guess.
No one - and I mean no one - whines about consistent lag because they are connecting from some other country. I'm watching some guy from Germany with a ping of 260 kicking butt. I have players in Seattle that connect to my server with a ping of about 35. And they really aren't any better then the 260ms pinging Germans. In all fairness, I don't remember ever seeing anyone connecting from Hawaii - how bad is their ping that they feel they have to cheat? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clyde cide" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Top Cheating Features Bypassing VAC?
