AoWC Drops HLTV

[CSN NewsBot]

Art of War Central is no longer providing HLTV service for CAL-I matches, according to the CAL site. Four separate companies have offered to take the challenge, after AoWC left "due to a lack of public support from gamers." The four companies that will now help with HLTV are Fragilicious, Game Daemons, SPEAKEASY, and Xtreme Gaming Servers. (Both Art of War Central and Xtreme Gaming Servers sponsor CS-Nation.)

AoWC HLTV lagged terribly, i can understand the "lack of support".

No support from the public? And for good reason! Okay, so AoWC wasn't that bad. But still..Im hoping the new team of servers to be alot better. Speakeasy owns all.

[Wintermute]

the new servers will almost certainly be just as bad. i think that people underestimate the cost of providing these servers....



my guess is on speakeasy to be the new provider btw

They should bring all players to Europe and get HLTVs from gamer-tv.de, thats fast.

My guess is four companies will split the work with providing bandwidth, and the four companies will be Fragilicious, Game Daemons, SPEAKEASY, and Xtreme Gaming Servers. Oh wait that's not a guess, it's a fact.

LOL so AoWC admits there servers suck and that the public knows there servers suck.

thanks for pointing that out anyway :)

[Mike Ditka is God!]

Good.



Maybe now we can get some decent HLTV servers now.

[AceR]

good, now we get good hltv's ( game deamons ) and it wont crash or lag in the middle of a match. Like last nite, during 3d match.

I say we wait and hope

I rented a CS server from AoWC about 5 months ago that was located in the San Jose datacenter. All our members were West Coast, USA members, and we all lagged considerably on the server. I would contact AoWC and they would tell me to have people do trace routes or some other nonsense. You think they would figure it out that when almost everyone on a 16 player server on a so called OC-48 connection is lagging that they have some type of issues.



It's totally obvious that they put way too many servers on the same connection on the same machine. And the steep price I was paying of $128/mo was not worth it. I can see why people are pissed off about the HLTV, because frankly the service was not that good.



I now rent a public server from Nuclear Fallout, a Seattle based company, and the ping is so much better. Their support staff is also very good and actually fixes problems before they are reported.

For east coast servers i suggest you check out www.gaminghost.com literally half the price of AoWC $4 dollars a player public. AoWC blows now HLTV and CAL will be worth watching

[Outlander_33]

I agree, AoWC was crap, hopefully these new four companies will offer better service. Kinda doubtful but hopefully it wont be AS bad as before.

[crankerdevil]

Paladin I hate to tell you but your servers are almost as bad as AOW's are. I've played several scrimmages and matches on servers you host and well they are lagolious. We had a server hard crash in the middle of a CAL match so before you guys start slamming AoW you should get your act together.
