Have some of you renamed yourselves 2pro? Saw the names and tried to join on but server was full. Spent the evening brushing up on my sniping with the SRR, corker of a rifle for long range.

Josh · 29 Dec 2014 at 23:44

Yeah we now have

2Pro4FairFight - Nexus
2Pro4PunkBuster - Me
2Pro4PubScrubs - Tony

The rage is pretty epic.

Well my calculations were spot on I died at least three times as fast

. Damn it!

Would put in the time to wire CAT6 if you're going to be there more than a few months TBH.

this isnt something i have thought about really but maybe along the road somewhen, thanks!

Need to practise long range sniping using the sraw.

Helis at short range aren't a problem, it's when they're further out I can't judge the trajectory right. Got any tips?

Mynight · 30 Dec 2014 at 01:11

Use the rocket to aim rather than crosshairs. If you know that already then I'm out of ideas

.

Need to speak to josh he's an arse with SRAW sniping

Wireless in general is poor for gaming. No way you can run a cable at all? Or perhaps a set of powerline adapters.

Doesn't stop me and never has. I've gamed over Wireless for years now. Was on a PCI-E 54g internal card but I've now upgraded to a set of 5GHz Wireless bridges and have no issues.

if you have no option for an Ethernet cable then gaming over wireless is OK. Get an internal PCI-E card that supports 5GHz if your Router does. If not still get an N capable PCI-E or PCI card. USB dongles rarely work consistently in my opinion.

Will also add I get a consistent 4.4MB/Sec over Wireless which seems absolutely spot on for a 40 Meg Fibre connection.

Wireless has come along way regarding bandwidth speeds - this is typically how the new standards, routers etc are promoted. However in my experience it's typically latency and interference where they suffer. In saying that, it's been years since I've played around with wireless for my home PC.

Would you be able to perform a test between your wired and non wired connection using the following command?

Code:

ping multiplay.co.uk -t

Would be interested if you get much additional jitter between wireles vs wired on the same connection.

Mynight · 30 Dec 2014 at 08:51

I've got an asus n66u and the extra latency it adds is only a millisecond. Admittedly I play cabled but if I were to swap to wireless I don't think it would make any difference.

Superhub on the other hand ~6ms.

1kiwi · 30 Dec 2014 at 08:57

It seems we have the same taste in routers

RoosterC · 30 Dec 2014 at 09:06

Nice to join you last night for a few games. I think we won every one.

Was so easy I was able to drink my red wine on hainan resort with one hand and rack up a decent score as a gunner on the other :eek:

That may have had more to do with Smrtka's driving though

TonyTurbo78 · 30 Dec 2014 at 11:06

was a good night for sure. Managed around 800k points, almost went up a whole rank in 1 evening lol.

Josh · 30 Dec 2014 at 13:45

Will be about this evening to get closer to sidey *cough* I mean 133!

Are you still talking about playing bf4 or some other shenanigans.
