Players that do this skip around and are difficult to hit. They often use it to mask their real ping when it is astonishingly bad, thus bypassing auto-kickers. I have nothing against people with bad connections personally, but it really isn't fair to everyone else when they are impossible to hit because they warp around, or are able to shoot you after you have dodged behind a wall because of the latency correction "feature". We pay good money for a solid network connection specifically to avoid this kind of gameplay. In the meantime, Mani's admin plugin has the ability to run client commands. When I see someone using a ridiculous cmdrate, I set it to default values using this feature. Either the high ping kicker takes care of them after that (if they were trying to get around it), or they just leave (if they were seeking the advantage of being hard to hit). -- Chris _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux -- No virus found in this incoming message.
