players with crap connections

High ping time without any warps will still have you out of sync with regular pings, e.g. when you spawn a GV and get plinked by campers while still in limbo.

The smoothing code makes it so all you really need is a stable connection. It "fills in" the time between packets to make things move smoothly. That's why folks with a dial-up connection can still be completive with the broadband weenies.

I doubt there could be much improvement. But, that's what they said before Dale wrote it.

High ping times are also indicative of a connection likely to have higher packet loss or jitter.

OMG OMG I FIGURED IT OUT! I only get laggy and warpy if I go into the Nvidia video setting and turn everything up! like 16Q AA etc. If I just let it go to default and let the game decide, I don't get any lag at all.

From the receiving end of a crappy connection:
I have a bad connection, though it is smooth most of the time.  My pings range from 700 up to 1400 in game play.  I usually average some 50 dicoes per month due to lost packets, communications black outs, or loss of power.

no offense Tom but if I was administering the servers you wouldn't get past the login.
