Upgrade feels like cheating


Upgraded from 3MB/s to 18MB/s. With a constant 45-55 ping, it feels like cheating: everyone stays in place instead of warping around everywhere, all my shots are able to hit properly, and I know that any issues with gameplay are on the hardware side now.

Same here.

I originally had 80-100 ping and 300+ ping while streaming. Now I basically stay around 15-30 ping even while streaming!

Before, my bullets enter a dark void and go through my enemies, but now everything is silky smooth.

I'm at 150-220 ping, while connecting from Austria to the Vegas servers, I got used to the latency, a problem many EU players had or still have to overcome.

Vehicle combat is not an issue, mid range shooting also works fine, but CQC sometimes really sucks with it.

186 ping now.

Used to be 15ms to Werner, 140 to Emerald and 210 to Markov. Ping does make a big difference, especially on your cloaking game (movement longer visible on someone else's pc).

If your ping improved from an upgrade on your ISP's part then they are pioneering quantum-tunneling technology
