Planetside = Playable
That's right... I'm at my patrol base in Iraq where I'll be for most of my deployment. The connection here is solid, stable, and fast enough that Planetside is playable, although in limited roles until I learn to adjust to the lag.
Pings are in the 700 range and loss is around 0.6%. It is playable. I can crew/drive vehicles and whore CE as well as play support roles. The more forgiving a role is, the easier I can play it. I'm learning the lovely close quarters infantry role as well. And I can snipe like a motherfucker as the level of lag I have actually makes things easier when being an offensive sniper and in certain situations when sniping defensively.
I come around the corner on my end before I do on their end. It gives me a quarter second or half second where I can shoot them and they cannot see me. Alternatively, this can work against me in defensive situations as I don't see them when they come around the corner for half a second. I guess I just have to learn how to use it and when it works.
Thats interesting how does it make it easier?
