I know that you need the newest version of half life to play
esf online . but what i'm asking is will it work with older versions
of half life (1.1.08 or 1.1.09) ?

I have 56k and if i join an internet game i will get kicked because
of my high ping , so i im not gonna download hl 1.1.1.0 if it
isn't neccesary ! I just practice a bit with bots and sometimes
go to a friend to play online .

Cya :cool:

it is necessary to have the newest version of halflife (1.1.1.0) because the latest version of hl has new optimizations and changes from the older versions.

If you dont update you could experience crashes or the game may not work at all. When I had 56K I just left files downloading over night sometimes.

If you join a server near you then your ping should not be too high unless your connection is any slower than 28,800bps. I think esforces beta 1 has better net code than the alpha version so that will help to keep your ping down. I remember me and my friend wanted to play each other on 56k but we couldnt cos one of us had a ping of 2000!!!

i always get kicked from servers, but i guess there isnt much point being on them anyway if my ping stays around 4000 :rolleyes:

it's not only that you have a modem, your pc spec. and video card can affect that too! if ur on a crap pc you will have higher ping than if ur on a good one! (i am saying this from my experience!)

Majin, i have experience in that department too, i use to get a constant 4 frames w/cable internet, so it is just more than your modem or connection, its also what your computer is made of ( i got a new one no more than a month ago)
