LOL, you really said it all
I was playing with Blue and could hear him swearing 'What the **** You cant shoot me from there you ****....' and I totally agree with everything he was saying. We got into few laggy games and it was almost impossible to kill anyone. I emptied the whole XM8C clip into their support then reloaded and it took another half clip to finish him off. This was something. I've been playing long enough with the same weapon to know how long and under what circumstance it takes to kill another player. That was not it. I would bump into their demo and could not even react I was already dead. I thought how could this be possible, I was through this millions of times and it never was like that. Then I figured they see me before I see them, and it got confirmed after few times I noticed a guy running towards me then when he was pretty close the game started to sync on me and him and he started to teleport on my screen. This could only happen if our games were running in different times. Before the patch the laggy games used to sync often and you could see the lag straight away, now they sync only when you are close to each other and because of that it takes much longer to kill distant running players as although the hit registers on your screen it doesn't on their, then the game takes average and you're ****ed.Bring the old lag back at least you know when it is on so you can quit that game!!!
That sounds like really bad lag handling. It's not even handling, its more hiding from the sound of it... IMO if someone on my screen is in my sights and my system registers hits on them, it should be those hits that get sent over the network. I don't care where the other guy thinks I am or the average of the error - my game state should be what the server takes into account from my packets. This might result in people getting shot round corners etc like CoD4, but at least as a player you feel the game is responding as it should.
I LOL'd hard at Unreal 3's handling of lag - I couldn't even control my character. I mean if there's lag, surely locally everything should run fine but other players will appear to jump around? I LOL'd - then I traded that turkey in. It's kind of like the rubber band effect you get on BF - which would imply that the system is taking the average of the server's game state and your local state.
