i had a beautiful ping of 55 at the start of the game. it was great. we got to ra at the start, and started off fairly well. the first time pr managed to secure ra, its nothing new, happens every game, you get quad and win it back. not on gay milktdm1. pr decided not to bother with quad or mh, or lg, but just to sit at ra. thats no problem you would think, you get the quad man to fatten up, 200health, 130 armour, plasma/rl and quad... what more could you ask for to clear out ra with the help of your tooled up teammates. how about playable ping.

the second we entered ra room, me, lorc and vin had pings of 150, while dest had to deal with a ping of 200+. it was like 1.xx (the old point release where it was all laggy and i used to update my column with rants similar to this one). wtf happened to 4:1 compression??! you spawn before you even know you've died. plasma, mg, rail, lg is absolutely useless. we have had psycho laggy games recently, but just blamed it on the server. now its on league servers, i can only blame the map... against tactics like this, its worse than mexx1. come to think about it... if the other clan wanted to line up at the far side of rl room in mexx1 with rails for the whole game, we'd be fucked there also, its like you have to swim through the lag to get to them. we played milktdm1 a few times before... against a lanned poq, against n2s, and ucq, but they all went for quads and mega, so it wasn't a problem. anything at all we can do about it? its seriously annoying.. not at all enjoyable playing in conditions like that. my brother in amsterdam just got chello dsl or cable not sure which.. but i'm seriously thinking of heading over there for some playable q3 someone organise another big lan please

yeah from what I hear milktdm1 is a paradise for "standing still railers" (like myself heh). Haven't played it very much lately but it's been alright when I have. Indigo/Eircom have hardly spiked above 70 on servers since I started using them this week. Maybe it was just league night

We pracced against PR and they did... exactly that. Standy rail ahoy. The way to do it when they do that is play cautious and spawn rape lots I think - we just about got away with it vs them.

I just don't like milk at all anyway.

if we were any good on dm14 we would have won, even with pings going to 130+, but we're no good there. But we're not too bad on milktdm1, its just that against those tactics, we have no chance of winning with our connects being flooded whenever we go to RA room.

If I had known that was going to happen, we would have used completely different tactics - when we were up 17 - 10 at the start, we all would have stayed at RL, quad, mega, YA, and LG all game, and not bothered with RA, letting them camp there all they like, but never entering laggy RA room.

choose maxpax 100
choose warping around, wondering where the fuck you are on a tuesday evening
choose dieing before you have a chance to react
choose getting quad and running halfway round the level, only to find you didn't actually get it, you were just predicted to.

choose osp 1.0 and max maxpax of 70 or 80 or something.
