Help!

I have just ordered UT. It's not here yet, but I'm pretty experienced in the gameplay. I need to know if I can Play a deathmatch over an AOL connection because I havn't hooked up a T1 line, and I don't have LAN capabilities. SOMEBODY HELP ME!

yes, but you'll lag to high hell.

AOL has the slowest connection speed of any dial-up service i've ever used.

it can be worked though...

:D Its all in the modem!...lol

Went from a winmodem:( pinging at 350+ and went out and spent the best 40 bucks I spent in a while. Diamond SupraMax 56i and now im pinging 220 and under on most servers. Hovers around 180 most of the time though.

edit: Check out .this thread for a shot of my ping of 56k

The guy will do fine..but put it this way...he wont be gettin as many headshots. Even with a 180 ping (if he has a good modem) a 1 and a half second delay can throw off ur aim alot. But I wouldnt know because all I play is Zero Ping InstaGib. :)

Hit f6, no PL. Like I said I dont play much regular servers. Only ZP servers, and when I switch from a ZP server (instant shots) its feels like a second and a half. It may not be but im used to the instant shots.

Those 56K only servers are meant for the poor chaps that can't ping below 200 usually. Even us highspeed folk can play on them if our ping is high enough... not that we'd want to but it is possible.

At best I am Competitive on the 56k servers that I frequent. I am not skilled enough to compete with those who are in the 30 - 90 range.

Strangely though, my ping was in the 190- 250 range before a recent move across town.

My post was merely stating that good pings are possible with the winmodem/AOL tandem.
