  •  lag (none / 0)

    i actually like lag (believe it or not).  i think that it makes the sniper rifle so that only skilled players who take the time to perfect their headshots and actives can use it.  it takes anticipation and skill.  however, i wish that it wasnt there when using the shotgun in close battles.  

    what are you talking about with upload speed?  if someone would please clarify the above questions i might be able to help.  my dad does computers for his company and know a pretty good deal about that kind of stuff

    •  Download vs Upload (none / 0)

      When hosting, upload is what's important.  For one, upload is usually less than download speed.  Often by a huge amount. (That's dictated by the ISP.) So, if you're hosting, you can download everything the 7 other players are sending you with no problem.  But then you have to send a signal back to those 7 other players.  (You're uploading the signal.)  If you have a low upload speed, then you can't send a whole lot of data real fast.  I kind of think of it as two different hoses.  Your download speed is a fire hose and your upload speed is a garden hose.  Again, all of this is controlled by your ISP.  You can usually pay for better download/upload speeds, but I'm just curious as to what most other Gearheads are hosting at.
