_ghost_

what i am about to propose may sound insain BUT hear me out.
I personaly believe dial ups are given a PROGRAMMED advantage in C4 over DSL and Cable connections.
i will ask NL if this is true if so that would mean the "ghost effect" (where you are shooting a shadow of that person due to lag) would be less for a person on DAIL UP then it would be for someone on cable or dsl.
that is to say though the DAIL UP users may experiecee "terable lag" the "ghost effect is nill", they may experience extreme jumping BUT they have an advantage over high speed users.
i myself have cable that is relitivity fast. playing with other cable users i have a fair game. i loose some i get some. how ever upon coming in contact with someone on dial up i can never kill them unless they are sitting still. emphasis on NEVER.
if the piolets are any good and are on dial up they will win. be it hyrdas cannons and or stingers. . . i normaly get 2 to 5 deaths per DM game. when i play against dail ups i get 10-15 . . . my skill has not dimminished i still get my 30-60 kills BUT my deaths are greater.
SO i am going to log on dial up now and see what damage i can do :)
please add if you have experienced the same thing BUT dont say i am insaine, if you dont have high speed and have experienced this no need to add unless you are a good dail up player and notice this . . .
