So what is a suitable ping for gaming?

Post 10

Depends if you can spray - and/or are good at predicting where a person will be slightly into the future. Yesterday I was playing Crysis with 120 ping and still got plenty of kills - smg + lots of ammo = cant miss lol.

Post 11

Id prefer to play with a ping of around 5-10 ( this will never happen for me up in darwin on southern servers) so i settle for 50-80ish, which keeps me with in the top 15 ranks on my clan server.

But when you hit 140-160ish and facing off against someone on a 5-15 ms ping, it generally sh1ts me to tears - for a number of reasons .

Post 12

anything over 100ms - may aswell just spray and pray

Post 13

- and now you know why i sucked in CS:S at that DGA i made it to last year ;P

the disturbing part are the 2 ip addresses 172.18.113.7 and 172.18.72.30 according to 'ipligence.com' both these ip's are located in the US.... can someone please confirm this by doing a tracert to internode.on.net.au in cmd and posting the results...

if anyone can correct me please do so (regarding the ip's of course)

On the same 4 jumps to node and have the 100+ms ping.

Post 18

Trace route for me is still only 4 hops away - but latency is still up the creek, even though i got a issue resolved email today - pricks.

@ Dragon - You do know you dont need to add .au to the end of the address right.... ;)

Have mentioned that the latency issue is still in effect atm and prolly worth while following this up at their end.

Post 19

well the tracert's ive done recently are from my work machine in somerville... there with bigpond..

we still get the jumps to america ect...

but at home i have the 4 usual jumps... however i cant see the 1st jump due to time an out..

anyone else getting this?
