Just tried to play css and for the first time in ages my ping is stupidly high - like 150ms at the lowest - 100 being the bare minimum to play...Now this is BAD :o :o :o

It was
never this bad :'(
I don't do games and have interleaving on, but mine to google.co.uk average 58 to 68 tonight.
I've never found pings to be consistent here - though I never did them at Plusnet, so they might have been like that there as well.
Could it be your exchange at red?
Simon has just posted this in the TB forum in the Ping thread -

Max, not being a gamer, wasn't sure what affects pings and what doesn't.
Exchange being at red doesn't mean you will have trouble anyway, just that you might. :D
Looks like i got a lucky break for once :laugh:
Lucky?
You don't live downwind of Sellafield then.
I remember when it was called Windscale. ;D
I can rememberer when it was a field :laugh:

Now theres a free game thats worth the download , haven't played it in ages.
Yeah, I've just gotten into it. I'm a MOH and COD etc. veteran but this is another kettle of fish. I find it a bit manic at the moment coz I always seem to be up against L337 players and they don't like to hang around and get shot like the bots in offline games.
I always played as a engineer, i never understood why other game developers didnt introduced this game type into their multi players.
I used to enjoy the bank raid map ,great getting the big MG into the vault and defending the gold.
I might just download it again :laugh:
Space cowboy is also a good free game :D Cant wait for cod3 on the pc :) :) :)

You might be waiting a while , and dates?
Mmmmmm COD3.
It had better go some to beat BIA though, which IMHO is the daddy of all WWII games. Although I'd like to see the war from someone else's eyes other than the bloody 101st Airborne once again.
Scuse me, Wots a " ping " and do I need one?

Yep, I think CoD3 is consol only, however, there are rumours that CoD4 will once again grace the PC http://uk.gamespot.com/news/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=25139680&sid=6161704&tag=latestnews;title;1

The BF series all have different player classes.
I only played Wolf ET once or twice but used to play RtCW quite a lot. I always played as a medic and was always very generous with the medkits. You had to rely on having good engineers playing alongside you though to keep your meagre ammo topped up ;D
For the ET'ers ; checkout this server IP 74.52.175.131 It's almost total chaos when it fills out but it sure is lots of fun. BANZAI!

What name do you use on-line ?
I looked for server in ASE and couldn't find it,whats its title?
Sorry for the late reply (seems I didn't get a notification ???)
I use the same name as I do on here. The server's called <{BBA}> NO RESET XP but rather than search through the list it's easier just to enter the IP on the "play online" page in ET.
There you go, my pings were bottoming out around 200 last night :o Just shows how fluid the whole thing is. Oddly though, I scored the highest rankings I've ever had. :-\
For some reason i thought you meant Call of Duty UO thats why i couldn't find you :laugh:
I installed ET not long ago but i fond it frustratingly slow and the noise it makes when you hit a player gets on my teets after a while (sounds like someone banging a small drum).
Its a great free game but i prefer the Call of Duty games.
We did have a Call of duty (the original game) server here run by Avenger and it was popular.
Yeah that "hitting a pan" noise is annoying but it comes and goes depending on which server you're on.
I don't think I've ever tried COD multi but if a COD clan was started again from here I'd be well up for it. ;)
Have you seen www.freewebs.com/ukseuro-fighters ?
I am not into games ..........this site is run from my neighbours house,he is glued to this thing all hours!
