the worst kind of lag imo is when it lasts more than a few seconds. the little glitchy lags are really annoying, but they doesn't piss me off as bad as when the lag causes a game to slow down or freeze for multiple seconds or minutes (if the server doesnt disconnect by then). i've seen it happen when there's a lot of players on the server, a lot of players in one place, when something is going on in the background on my comp, but worst of all when it happens for no apparent reason.  this kind of lag just pisses me off and makes me wanna stop playing.

how frustrating is it when you know you should be moving and know you probably are but just don't see it on the screen and start to wonder where you'll end up a moment later whenever the lag goes away, in fact sometimes i get pissed off and just smack the keyboard to see where in the hell i end up.

Hopefully it's not one of those Z-Boards, I've been looking at!


Those long delays can really be bad for sure!

Wow! Are you getting that kind of '2-second' pausing on a Broadband!

That's pretty wild, and likely a result of some serious packet loss (Network Lag), or maybe some Severe server loading, either way, that definately does suck!

Last night I was playin Halo and I was finally about to win, when my friend lagged and screamed and cursed and flung his chair across the room.  I looked up and got shot, and ended up losing.

Hey Niner, how were you going to Win Halo?

You mean deathmatch or CTF?

At any rate, when you say you lagged, does that mean your screen froze at the wrong moment?

Really man, you can't ***** about Lag if you don't know what kind of Lag you had.

Check out ELN's "What is Lag section"

I almost won because I had 24 kills in a slayer match and was way in the lead.  After the screaming, somebody got to 25 kills before me.  gotta learn to focus

Mr Wizard, I'm not familiar with either of those games...

Can you spell out the Acryonyms please. What the hell is 'A'...?


Incidentally, Ping jumps up a lot when the action is hot, sometimes because your CPU/GPU isn't up to snuff: Sometimes because the server has to send you more data... sometimes, the server just gets bogged down in heavy action scenes.

Either way, explain more what game your playing, and what your crazy acronyms mean!!!!
