The Great Unequalizer

The sad truth is, when I get in a game, I know exactly who is going to be doing the killing: The pilot with the 44 ping. Every game I've been in where all the players average 4 to 9 kills and one player has 22, it's the one with the 44 ping time. Some pilots spec better, pilot better, optimize harder, level quicker, but you can only do so much about your internet connection.

So in the same way they spec and optimize looking for the best possible scenario with every choice they make, they also probably payyed more to get a better and more reliable connection.
You could then argue that money = winning in that way of thinking and truthfully, yes. You could live in the artic and with enough money, have the lowest ping on any server.
Unfortunately, all FPS games, especially newer ones, have higher and higher internet standards to run smoothly. Are you only experience ingame lag and not FPS issues_ I have a very solid computer and i turn most settings down ,for the smoothest gameplay possible

I have a pretty poor internet connection but connecting to East or West gets me 80, which is good. I get a bit less than 200 going to the UK, which is also good. I don't think their servers are set up that badly if I'm getting a connection like 80 here where if I join a dedicated TF2 server or something like it, it's usually 160+.

I wasn't born and raised here. Only been here for 2 years. I grew up on the east coast. I moved here because of my job. Lots of nerd rage from lag for the first couple months or so, but once i get used to it, its like its the way its supposed to be.
A true gamer doesn't see lag as a handicap, they see it as a hurdle. But a true gamer is still entitled to their rage sessions. I know I'm guilty.

I'm not complaining about being killed, by the way; if it was a problem, I'd play a different build (one that wasn't spec'd to get back and forth with EU faster than everyone else).
Oh, and as for Hawaii, yeah....two of the car dealerships I do the back end for are there, seriously, how is it that anyone who lives in Hawaii can be so freaking crabby all the time_

My shots come out 220ms late, my flack cannon fires two shots in a row (the first one is a dud), and manual detonations miss most of the time. Splash damage weapons are hard to gague and using a sniper is not an easy task.
And with all that, i still get to top the scoreboard a lot. My KDr might not be great, but i still win
