It is easier now to play with a high ping in a modern game, because of advances in client side prediction (so you dont have to predict where they will be yourself when teh shot finaly leaves your gun), but ultimately if you have 2 players shooting at each other (or even multiple players shooting at one), the person whose computer is able to tell the server first that they got the killing shot, is the one that gets the kill. .1 of a second may not seem like much but in .1 of a second a bullet will have travelled 300 foot.

It's like having a queue of instructions for the server and players with better pings are able to cut a few places ahead in line.
This is true, and no one with their sanity with the information we have on current day's interwebs etc will try to deny this. 10 years ago when I clicked my mouse1, the rocket launched a few hundred milliseconds later in quake.

Now, today, the powder in the bullet explodes the instant the mouse1.exe is clicked.

And now I don't even know what I'm talking about, so I'll just stop typing and keep hoping I've not insulted anyone again.

It's a thing of which you obviously know about. It's not, however, quantum physics. Give me 109h and I can tell you about it more than you now know about it

I can explain how it works in both the Frostbite engine (or at least BF2's engine), and in source and UDK.

In Source, when someone fires a gun, there is a timestamp sent to the server along with the packet that says the gun was fired. The server interprets the packet, reads that a bullet was fired, and then goes back in time (into the server history) and checks where all players were at the timestamp. If a player were calculated to be within the bullet's raytrace (i.e. the path of the bullet), the server interprets it as struck. To reduce strain, physics objects are not calculated.

In UDK, the client predicts whether the player is struck or not, and if the client is wrong, the server corrects it. There is no system such as the one found in Source. (at least that I can tell) http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/Netwo...20The%20Future

In the Battlefield 2/Frostbite engine, hit detection is client side. The client fires a projectile and tells the server what the client struck.

I doubt it is not checked by the server. Having hit detection entirely on the client side would make it wide open to hacking.

Indeed, which is why there are hackers who kill the entire server without Line of Sight, all while sitting in their spawn.

In properly server verified games, the only cheats you can do is aimbot and wallhack, pretty much.

As a software developer, I laughed a little inside when I saw this comment. Just because it's abstract and really incorrect but that's ok!

Re: Planetside 2 beta plans


So any news on how the tech test went? I remember reading that beta invites were to be distributed today if things went well over the weekend.

You read speculation then. Smedley said he expected tech test to take 1-2 weeks.
