Ping Spikes and HL2

[Rubeus]

I was playing HL1 to brush up on my fps skills a bit, when i started getting hit with some really bad ping spikes. Like, 4095ms Flushpacket type. This doesn't happen to my friends on the same ISP, and im just wondering if someone has a possible solution to this. I don't want to get HL2 and be hitting the roof with my ping!

I got some bad lag last week. It was from Monday- Thursday. I couldn't play America's Army AT ALL!

I *wish* there was a solution for lag...

A break-through like that would be bigger than finding a cure for Cancer and AIDS combined.

Well, if powerplay was a reality, we could all be saved.

well it doesn't matter because it never was real.

5 words..."does not"

Hehe, I love my cable...I get 3mbps...Ahh, 10 ping is so good....

 

[Typhon]

yes, but doesn't is a contraction, and that's one word. But he wrote dosn't, which isn't a word, so technically he had 3 words and a bit of gibberish.

either gabe or doug said hl2 will have BETTER netcode than hl1. so it will be good barring your connection is decent. make sure your rate is set accordingly
