i was wondering if you guys have tested it yet. can you give us some feed back about how much of a help it is to the ping? and is this the only steps you guys are taking to help with the one thing that can ruin any good mod... lag

You'd expect all the spiffyness in the beta to cause some lag. However, it runs slightly better than 2.0 on my poor 56k connection. You'll like it :yes:

Pffft, I sure don't want to beta test, I'd rather act like one of those girls at an Nsync concert when the next version comes out. :)

yea client side beams would be a lot better... im fed up of having to guess not only my opponents moves, but also my own moves cos ive got a 300 ping from havin to join a damned german server (no offense to ze deutsch people - but there are hardly any servers up in good 'ol eng-err-land)

Actually, I can play with someone when we are both on 56***, and it doesn't lag bad at all!!

No need for concern, it runs masterfully, even at high pings
I host test games in Australia and have other testers from the U.S join and it runs fine.

Lets see client side beams.... well im on a 56k ****. Cheeseman is on cable i believe, but is in aus. He usualy makes servers and we test on it, and i get about a 400 - 500 ping on it. Well you know what, I have no trouble spamming him on it =P Lets just say its alot easier to play with a high ping.

and the great val al has spoken this is an occasion you rarly speak but anyway

wait chesse isnt a vegetable


i rather not be a beta tester

its like sex

you have it everyday its going to get kinda not really fun anymore

but if you have sex every week or other day it'll be better

exspect the beta to cause lag but its going to be littler than the other one

Less lag is always but i never play on the NET i just play on a lan so a ping of 10-20 aint bad,but the less lag the better of course.

the good thing about esf is that it doesnt need stupidly fast reflexes (like on counter-strike) so im not phased out with a 200 ipng (like on counter-strike). but its still annoying having that small delay when u charge/hold/release a beam etc...

so the less lag the better :p
