i'll have to admit that up till 2 or 3 years ago i thought it was that way. i'd like to take a moment to apologize to all the people i've accused of lagging up servers up to that point. i have 2-3 years ago been enlightened!

also does this apply as well for the Bf1942 engine, cause if i recall back in that game booting a high ping player actually did help.

in any case yeah, i take the time now if the person accusing is accessible through voip to educate him/her on the subject. if its team chat then F--- no it would take way too much typing

Although I have to admit that BF2 is a lot more lenient compared to other games such as Counter-Strike (where 150 ping gives you an INCREDIBLE disadvantage).

I disagree on that one! I can play a game completly without mayor lag at al least a 200 ping. I only have pings in the 0-60 rate on european servers and even there a higher ping does not effect the gameplay for me.

I play on servers all over the world normally without lag and on australien or american servers my ping goes towards the 250 area. Still good gameplay.

Having 100 ping is quite a bit better than having 0-60 ping. This is due to bf2 being optimized for 100 ping.

We don't all live in North America and Western Europe with constantly populated servers nearby, some of us have to play on 300ms or more.

I'm lucky to have a server in my country, but it's not populated 24/7 so I also play on US servers around 250ms.

Interesting. I have a ping on 100 when playing on TG

Funny that this thing came up with the new release. Better ask the question what makes the servers lag? But I guess it has already been popped.

Anyway, if someone thinks he's gaming experience is bad because his poor connection should give a try for this method: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/for...d.php?t=269647. I subscripbed for this freedom backup and it eliminates lagging 98% on my side. The server lags are a different story though...
