All in all, there's not a lot of finesse & magic to playing FPS's on dialup. It's frustrating & it can get ugly at times. But, when you get used to it, and if you can have fun & hang in there, you'll get the biggest rush when you lag your way to wins. I've always referred to dialup'ers as "56k Warriors" - you gotta be tough as nails, patient, and really good to overpower the DSL/Cablers, and they deserve special recognition for doing so & showing up to do battle with "the big boys".
