lol.....People use 'laggy' all the time as an excuse for getting killed. I don't get any lag whatsoever on your servers EVER, regardless of antilag being on or not. Realistically, when people moan about lag, 90%+ are lying and using it as 'the plausible excuse' for dying or not doing very well and the other 10% have got lag coz they have either a shltty graphics card, a shlte connection, a bad config or all three.
Antilag does NOT increase the size of the hitboxes at all, sorry, that's wrong. Antilag was introduced to CoD2 because the "command" actually levels the field for everyone in the server. By this, I don't mean it makes the low pingers stupider or ruins their shot, I mean it gives the server a LAN-like feel when shooting at someone.
To explain how it works, take a simple example: When two players meet in a server, one has 10 ping, the other has 100 ping. For the 10-pinger it takes 10 ms to see a person coming out of a door, for the 100 pinger it takes 100 ms to see someone coming out of a door. Now, allowing a 10 ms reaction time for both, the 10 pinger reacts in 20 ms after seeing the enemy, and the 100 pinger reacts in 110 ms. Now, antilag DOES NOT CHANGE THE POSITION THESE PLAYERS HAVE on the map, but calculates when a person shot at his enemy mathematically and subracts these ping differences to see who actually shot first and therefore shows the actual outcome of the fight.
And when people get killed behind a corner, it means the guy that shot at them had higher ping. In a LAN enviroment, they would never get to hide behind the corner because the guy that had high ping would have had 0 ping and would have shot them already.
Shots not getting registered are not because of Antilag, they are an effect of cl_maxpackets and com_maxfps, the number of packets you send to a server, or the frames per second a person has.
Thanks for reading this, I hope many will change their mind about Antilag.
Remember, every time you got killed by a 100-pinger in a server with antilag it means that if you guys played in a LAN, the guy would have killed you first. Antilag ONLY levels the field. Playing without antilag is unfair to anyone with a ping higher than yours.
Please change the antilag back to 1 on Mayhem as well as 4 Gamers. It's much fairer for all. Thx.
