Well, used to play Quake 2 with a ping of 350, but
everybody else had a similar ping, so it was possible and funny to play.
If there are guys getting pings around 50, you'll
hardly be able to get some frag, since you're not playing in "real-time" compared to these guys - I'm often killed without even know from where the shot came.
And sometimes these guys laughed on "how bad I am playing UT".
But now I'm a member of the
[PING400!] clan, and nobody dare to say "you play like a dog"
to me - actually I believe it may be a shame to a guy with ping 50 be fragged by somebody with the
[PING400!] clan tag in his nick.
(*) Actually there is not a clan called PING400!, I've just got the idea of use this tag to see its effect, and it may work, since nobody seems to feel like mentioning how "bad" I am.
