players with crap connections

[fudgums]

I play on dial up and even on the worst connection I have, I dont lag. very surprising.(frame rates go to hell tho) I think dial up is fine its people that play on satielite(cant spell) and wireless (sometimes not all) that have the most problems.

I never said a THING about bandwidth.  Bandwidth means nothing when it comes to latency..  It is feasible to have a connection with low bandwidth yet have low latency as well. 
Please, don't put words into my mouth.  And no, in most cases, dial-up is insufficient.  Don't kid yourself. 

If your ping is STEADY, it doesnt matter what it is--I've been doing dialup for 13 years, and know which brand of modem works best, and which phone number works best, am always around 180-200 ping, assuming no browsing windows are open. Alas, Americas Army, (or any 1st person shooter) is out of the question, as they demand heap more bandwidth)

It's just amazing when I see Vets like shawk crying about warping as if the warper were doing it on purpose.When we have all read these threads a million times until Skuzzy has to come in and explain once again about warping.

I think what SHawk was saying was that the most blatant, most habitual warpers shouldn't be able to stay connected.  I'm glad he mentioned X3X because that guy warps like there's no tomorrow, and I mean, he warps across the map again and again, day after day.  Obviously there will be minor warps here and there from everybody but there are a dozen or so players who have such ludicrous lag, that it disrupts gameplay for everybody.  I think when you are warping 2k regularly, you should lose your connection more often than how it is set now.

I see you around all the time Fud, I would never have guessed that you play via dial up.

intardnet<--LMAO 
X3X<--and X3X does it on purpose, it's pretty obvious. I'm surprised he hasn't been banned yet.

#1 Re-Read my post. I don't recall crying anywhere. If you wanna imply that, then your reading your own conclusion.

Dial-Up is fine. I have a squaddy that flies on dial-up and I've never seen him warp.
In fact, Larry, you play on dial-up, don't you? Or used to until recently?

Yep Iv been running on dial up for almost three years. I have no trouble with my connections and the only time I warp is when my spyware or virus scanner pops up. I do have some troubles with titanic Tuesday but I really don't care what anyone trys to say there is nothing wrong on my end since I know people that run on cable and DSL that have the same problems I have when it is up.

Just bringing it to the forum as you have is crying

I don't care what you think, Yankees don't either

Basically, these dudes just need to get updated systems, got off dial-up (don't give the BS excuse about how dial-up can potentially have low latency because in all my years, I've never ever seen it) and get with the program.
 

For years my choices were dial up or satellite. Satellite was bad for gaming, that left dial up. Then I was able to get a Wireless ISP. Two months ago I was able to get DSL after being told for years DSL is unavailable in your area due to the fact you are too far from the Central Office. I am in the same place and the C.O. is in the same place. Go figure. I still can't get cable. Not everybody lives in a "High population density" area. I seldom had connection problems and when I did "Lost UDP switching to TCP" and I would disco. Maybe I was OK because I have my system down to about 25 processes running and the anti virus switched off when I play. I am sure most players don't do that.

Like i said he does it on purpose. I don't mind people that have the occasonal hiccup, but he's just out of control

I actually reported X3X a couple months ago with 2 pieces of film evidence to what I deemed as "suspicious convenient" warping but HTC cleared him so now I just don't know.

No matter how much you'd like to classify it as a whine, or crying, it is not. Restate your desire a million times, and it still will not be true. Get over it.

There should be some sort of limit on how much and how often you can warp. A few surges every once in a while is one thing. If you constantly warp enough to go through the ground, and bounce along like a ping pong ball in a hurricane swirling over an earthquake, you should be booted.

People with slower systems than this will warp even more so..  There are guys still playing this game with Pentium 3's and old Geforce 440MX video cards or worse.  

I played on a P-III 600 with an MX-440 until March of this year.  Never once did anyone complain about me warping.  So much for that theory.

Amen.

X3X .................... I have always been polite when letting him or her know that they warping really bad.  Response was testy at best....
