Playing with a ping over 180 is an automatic disadvantage
If that was 'Chris' (aka Animal) you were playing then I suggest you play him again on another server where he has the lower ping and you have the higher ping.
Still, well played Corny

True catt. However last time i played him on a euro server he still kicked my butt... Let alone on a U.S. server. playing with a ping over a 100 is an automatic disadvantage..

There's my excuse sorted then :D

[F!zz|3^N!zz|3]

Si, but i can still kick butt with a 180 ping.:D

[Fortress]

And I live and breath a 120 ping. :D

[{C-oPs} KiWi]

i kick but with a ping of 230 i have beaten ppl when i had a ping of 350 + so no bigy its how you play lol

Im sure you all have kicked butt before with bad pings, but that put aside there is absolutely no amount of skill in the world that can make up for ping.

I could write boring article on how i think that stuff works. But it just wouldnt matter :)

Quick example:


Jack has 20ms latency, Jill has 100ms latency.

Jack jumps down in front of jill. Jack lands 80ms later on jills screen than he does on his own.

Jack fires his weopon. Jill is hit on jacks screen 80ms before jill knows that jack fired.

to jack, he has all kinds of skillz.. To jill her death sounded like a clump of bullets hitting all at once reducing her full heath to nothing in what seemed like 1 shot..

Jill thinks jack cheats.

Absolutely Chris.....well said.
We can all claim to have kicked butt over someone with a lower ping. However, play an equally good player as yourself over a few maps and you can feel the ping disadvantage.
Like getting shot before you even land from a jump. ....It's not that you got shot in mid air, but the player shot you in the landing position on their screen a 100ms before you landed dead on your screen.
At low skill levels, it's mostly about movement and aim but as the skill level increases between two players the ping difference becomes an important factor.
Yes, there are ways to use a higher ping to your advantage....
However, before people start saying that: 'therefore it balances out'. No, the disadvantages of a high ping far out-weigh the advantages.

I find that at lower pings I actually do worse than I normally play (which is considerably poor), which could be because I'm not used to such a "good" (in a matter of personal preference of my being used to a higher ping) ping. For players like you all, ping seems to play a huge difference in play even if it's only by 5 units (whatever the units are, Chris said it earlier but I'm too tired to check lol). For players at my skill level, ping doesn't quite make a difference in our playing ability as it's still "point-and-shoot" for 'us', but while that's not enough to win in the much more skilled worlds of UT99 it remains quite satisfactory all the same. If you really want to observe a ping difference, newer players will notice (something I still get mad at) that players seem to be in the air while shooting them when in reality they've probably hit the ground before your computer could show it to you (I don't know the technical way of saying that). You can see that kind of thing by going into a 1v1 match with Fizz or Animal with a ping difference of 30 or so in their "favor" (again, favor being a personal preference to the player themselves, a "good" ping could be described as something that the player himself is comfortable at operating at, something he's used to). You'll begin to notice some PRE-prefiring and some 'aerial' shots from your opponent that turn out to be just a better connection. Some players though can't settle for that and have to remain in their "comfort zone", because there really is not much you can do (as far as I've experienced) to give yourself an amazing improvement on your connection (other than getting a new, hopefully better one). Ping is one of those weird aspects I've seen that you don't really IMPROVE your play versus others around, but rather hone your own skills and comfortabilities around. It's one of those factors that either makes or breaks your game no matter what your skill level (and if not any of those two, improves or hinders your play level). It's hard to work around it, and for most players you just have to be ready to adapt. Personally I'm not ready for that and prefer sticking to my 130 ping with players around my skill level.

Omg what have i done?

Look i just posted this here cause i was proud...Last time i played Animal on that server he wooped my butt......

No biggy, just felt like sharing...didnt mean to start all this lame bs about pings... You dont hear me cry on US servers (160ping average).

I think yall took this the wrong way...

[Fortress]

hahaha I think we're just stating thoughts and opinions lol at least that's what I was doing :D

[F!zz|3^N!zz|3]

If you want, i'll take it the wrong way for you.

[AniMal]

Ahh Corny, i wasnt taking anything from your win! i was simply commenting on the crazzyyyy comments that was coming about how wonderful some play with higher ping. You played smart and your aim was defintely on kill

and YES i did kick your ass last time we played there :P

[Fortress]

hahaha, Catt and I actually played a few games last week and we talked about ping. Mine was around 90 ping units (what IS it measured in??) and his was around 180, I won one game he won one (great games by the way Catt) but he somehow turned it around with just skill alone :D
