The end of Lagging up ???

[Zilla]

This is something that is interesting.

Last night when I first turned S3 on, I started to play a map, and for some reason I found it ridiculously hard to kill people, when I say ridisulously I mean in terms of S3 hit detection - I mean I was putting 10 - 15 bullets into people and they wern't dying, yet I was dying as normal in a few bullets.

So I pondered and started to wonder if this was the first bit of lag that I had experienced, then I noticed the light on my router flashing like crazy.

It was at this point that I realised that I had something downloading on my computer. So in effect I had lagged myself up (unknowingly) and it actually had a detrimental effect on me, not the opposition.

Fingers crossed that this wasn't just me imagining things, and Zipper have actually found a way to punish the people who lag up. 8)

Yeah but that's downloading, downloading has always affected you.
It's when people upload that the bias is forced against other people, go try that, go leave bittorent on by 'accident' and report back :lol:

ye downloading theoretically shudnt bother the opposition one bit unless your host. Its uploading that should bother the opposition. Downloading will just screw you up.

Player A > Host > Player B > Host > Player A

only the Host requires quick download, for players to appear smooth to other players. Otherwise its only you thattl get effected.

Well when I said Downloading what I actually meant was bittorrent, which downloads and uploads the file at the same time.
