as ive said, world isn't perfect, and people aint

lets go a bit deeper.
forget about multicast for a second.
why should the server really send the *whole* snapshot to the client?
why dont we frestrum out the view on the server side and send only the
needed data to each client? we kill all the wallhacks in their basis
and minimize the data sent. to avoid large cpu impact, it could be
done at least by tracing boundary spheres and pairing visibility
factor to avoid double checking. for the wallhacks - it will still be
visible if to hide behind a box, but whatever.
in the deep future this could be done with multicasting as well. we
group clients into visibility groups and put them dinamically on a
seperate multicast channel.
