thrEEpaGe Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 jk2 w/ 56k will be very possible, especially if people are actually smart and use dedicated servers...usually the idiot 56gay users are either smart enough to know that hosting a server on a 56gay is suicide or dont have any idea what a dedicated server is =) so therefore, most dedicated servers will be run on relatively good machines and fast connections, and that is the most determinging factor in lag (that is a large factor, but there are others, such as the individual users' lag)...but anyway, the pings are playable....i would be fine playing jk2 on a 56gay....it will be somewhat annoying though =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agen Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I find the HL engine to be VERY annoying. Making the majority of the code client side instead of server side was a bad idea on VALVe's part. No Half-Life's netcode is very, very good and not at all annoying unless you're on a really bad serrver, but otherwise, it's excellent and it'd be much better if they had that netcode for jk2... not the engine mijnd u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KandyFLip Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I want to get a cable connection but I dont really want to pay for a seperate connection for everyone's computer in the house. And I dont want to have cables running all down the halls and everything. Whats my solution here. You could get something like this: http://www.dlink.com/products/broadband/di714/ and set up the computers in other parts of the house with wireless network cards. Works pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrobes Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I'd advise you not to get your hopes up. Considering the many subtleties that JKII will incorporate now with increased saber tactics/maneuvers, I don't feel that 56k would be able to handle that, and give you a fair response in return. A delay of half a second could shift the balance in a saber fight, it seems. I could be wrong, but I never had much luck with 56k, unless the server I was on had very few people on, and this is across Q3/RtCW. Pings usually were around 260. Not _really_ bad, but I'm of the opinion that you'd need a much lower ping to increase your chances in the deadly dance of saber-play that will soon take shape on the JKII servers...

Zek Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 56k is a no no for just about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steg Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 i used 2 play the EF demo online on my 56kbps modem wif my 350Mhz K6-2 and my Voodoo 3...(dont worry i have a new machine now!) and apart from being slow 2 load the levs....(yeh i no 1 guy was on 9 frags in a 10 frag game by the time i was loaded) and Q3 has that new data compression software so playing Q3 on my 1Ghz Athlon and Ge3 Ti 200 with a 56k conneion is a bit laggy every now and then but it is not that bad...

Saber_Trails Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 I know that 56k is slow and all, I use to have DSL but then lost it. I think that as long as I chill with 4 players max and battle Ill be alright. Maybe someday Ill get my DSL back and then ill be l33t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-o2 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Originally posted by Krak3n I played Elite Force and Quake 3 with 56k for about 6 months and i have to say my ping was on average of 190-200. At that point it is really laggy but playable. 56k is no longer adequate to games online now, as more and more people go broadband. If u can get bruadband as soon as possible. No dial up, instant connection...fast connection, average d/l of 60kb/s, i tell ya once you get bruadband your whole perseption of the internet changes. Yes, I suppose you would gain a new perspective on the internet. So many new decisions, like "Maybe I'll get some pornography today" Or "I think I'll get pornography" Or maybe even "Are you up for pornography? I know I am!" Stuff like that. It really makes you rexamine the internet. <--- 26,400 and proud, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
