Low ping = disadvantage?

[Mekstizzle]

I've been playing on some multiplay servers with pings of around 10-20 and i've noticed i get more frequently killed than in other servers where my ping is 30-40, i've also noticed this in other games, especially CoD.

I was just on an iron gator server with a ping of about 19 and everyone elses ping was about 30-40 (seriously, i was amazed at that), i noticed that i was getting alot of "puff hits" and that everyone who came up against me got perfect registering hits and so i died alot. Loads of scenario's where i got the jump on someone and i am sure i got headshots but they didn't register and (even low ranked privates) were turning around and getting complete headshots on me and taking me out in no time, it's not a case of "bad round" or "****ty aiming" cos i'm 99% sure it's becuase of ping becuase i've noticed this happen when i have the lowest ping on a server ALOT of the time. Or it could be extreme unluck...

Anyway, **** playing on UK servers now. I don't want to be killed by some idiot in another country that is lagging like a *****. I'll rather be that lagging ***** than the sucker who's shots always hit him...

^Now you have the girl outta the transporter 2, pretty good film but highly unrealistic lol...

Back on topic, I've noticed that some players lagging badly I can't seem to get a good shot on them, well they are harder to hit than a normal player with a good ping. I've noticed someone with a high ping jitter about like stutter one meter forward every second and back its like wtf?

Don't worry, if they're doing that, then they're stuttering on their screen too, so they won't be able to shoot back.

well a player with a ping over like 250 can at time ice skate around (looks like they are moving without there legs moving) or stutter thats why most servers boot people with really high pings but for the most part people with pings like that can't kill you unless they get really really close or spray a TON of rounds at you

If you ahve a low ping, that is actually a good thing. If you are getting lag, it might be something else. Ping is a unit of measuring time.

In italy we used to say (in quake 3 arena): "No ping no skill"
In q3 low ping is a must.

Do you have a nice ping? You can hit the enemy while they are running without any problem, but they can do the same as you ..

Do you have a bad one? You can avoid bullets like in matrix but your aim won't be great..

Re: Low ping = disadvantage?

LOL, this is the first good thing I ever noticed with high ping. I should be happy cuz my pings are ALWAYS 90-150.
As Dairuka said I must be a pingwhore now :laugh:
