Perk the M-8 !!!

A bad connection means I can only play in a GV, and even then its kinda pointless.  I've had good connections and bad connections and ever single time (in my own mind anyway ) I lose my tiger  to a one ping shot from a panzer.

Sometimes I think I could lose a tiger to a bailed pilots .45

If someone's connection is this bad on such a consistant basis then AH2 is way too tolerant of bad connections.

This one of the very few games that can be played with a poor connection.  I think thats part of its appeal.  A guy on a poor dial up connex can still play and have fun.  Limit the game to people on "good" cable and dsl and you limit the number of people who play by a pretty good margin I'd bet.

On the topic of the thread, it seems to me that the M8 propably was on a poor connection, maybe even in the middle of losing host connex.

I doubt that. People play can play CS:S, WoW, and 99% of other online games with a dialup.

There is a huge difference between a dialup connection with a 275ms-450ms ping and one with a 1000+ms ping with 20%+ of packet loss(which in this day and age is 80% intentional).

Also I am sure the 10+ people who had 30mins+ invested into capturing this base, not to mention the person just sitting there in an M3 had alot of the appeal taken out of the game for them when ONE person with a "bad" connection can thwart their plans with no ability to retaliate at all.

Sorry for stealing the thread, seems these posts should go into

well, you have a good point there.  I cant argue against what you are saying (you just had to take away my fun ).

My point about dialup is that when i was on it, i could play AH pretty well, but the very few other games I tried didn't work out so well for me.  I was just too slow.  Generally, I had 250 to 500 ping then.  I even used to play on a satellite connection.  Got pretty warpy sometimes, other times was OK.

On cable now and when I logged on tonight my ping was jumping from under 100 to over 2000.  Logged off, didn't even try it.  Sure hope they get those T1 lines in soon.
