Is there bad lag on Alliegence?

[Mr Skiff]

Wussup people!

I've just came back from a LAN party and I managed to play Alligence while I was there (1st timer) And that game fooking rocks! I played it the whole weekend with about 30 others. This game is the best game I have simply played :E.

Being on a LAN there was no lag and I did'nt have to aim infront of the target as much, but if I'm playing online is there really bad lag and do I have to shoot like 5 secounds infront of my target?

I'm on a 56K and it looks very dimsmal, please enlighten me!

Playing on a LAN is definatly the buisness (getting everyone to the same patch level is another thing). :)

The lag on Free Zone (FZ) and i'm guessing Allegiance Zone (AZ) (since i havn't playied on that) is very irratic. Somtimes its not bad other times it can ping you out of a game, which is damn annoying. Though i have managed to re-connect straight away and appear bak in my ship!!

Still, if your'e suffing from bad lag you could go into scout/mine/probe mode until it sorts itself out :)

Cheers for the reply m8y!

Is there any Alligence LANS planned for anywhere? I hear they might be playing it at I6 and the Stratlan. I think it will be unplayable with a 56K online so really untill I get ADSL or cable I'll have to pass on playing online against U lads.

I definatly hope to get some games in at I6 .. all depends on whether Wizzo can get a server organised :)

Just in case Wizzo does a search on the formums for I6 comments ->

OI WIZZO!!! :) hows the Allegiance stuff going for I6!!

hehehehe

[Mr Skiff]

LOL!

I met Wizzo at the StratLAN! Were U there oysterizer? Had a couple of nice games of Alligence and Wizzo lost (Damn he's a sore loser!) :E

I will exact suitable revenge on Team Bugalugs at i6... in training on the allegiance zone most nites :). Most of the MPUK team now seem to be completely hooked on Allegiance, so you can expect to see a few major games featuring at i6. Hell, might even create a dedicated Allegiance seating area.

The patch level will be handled by creating a zip of the updated files. We're contacting MS regarding getting a proper dedicated server there... i.e. one with more than a 32-player max limit. Should rock!

See you there!

[oysterizer]

Oh yes, that sounds great wizzo. I'm booking myself into I6 and was wonderin about wether we'd get some games in :)

I didn't make StratLAN (or even I5!!) so i have some built up LAN needs brewin ;)

Not sure i can convince my fellow LAN go'ers to sit in a dedicated Alleg area but setup a bb and a forum so i know when its all going down.. :robo:
