-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I kinda agree with this, most of the pro ut2k4 clans we have set theirs up at 40 even.
Whatever, I personally would trade a clamped 66tick (i.e by the engine) than having a whole host of servers set at 33, 66, 75, 100 etc, of which some can't handle as well for most other settings, and some having bugs etc. Never understood why not simply have one "decent" setting where everyone knows where they stand, and gets used to a specific standard. Every server they then join is set the same, this has always been key for me when playing games, especially when its not obvious whats what when you join. I can see the problem with larger servers etc, but I can't believe there isn't a decent solution. I think more and more, we'll see games just with one standard server settings (network wise etc, not talking about modes, and gameplay vars), and less and less client settings (but still be able to configure via menu etc). Personally would like to see Valve take this road, but its pretty unlikely :).
