I used to play a lot of CS but found that it got the point where connection became too important when everyone else has cable. I just didn't see them the same time they saw me onscreen thereby capping my sorry ass before I could react. Now TFC I regularly play with 400ms ping and 15 fps but can grab flags and kill because connection isn't as important as class selection and map knowledge. If definitely helps to have a better connection but livable without. Jethro -- Jethro[AGHL] aka Phat_Pinger Phat Clan: http://phats.clanpages.com Reply Email: jeff (at) tibben (dot) ca
