Tips for fighting high pingers?
« on: July 14, 2010, 06:14:16 pm »
I searched around and found nothin',I was just wonderin' if anyone had any sort of good strategies for dodging someone with a ping from say...200 to 300. Ive been practicing against several of these people. I can't seem to come up with a good strategy. I'm specifically talking about goons vs shotty. I have a very difficult time dodging a goon with said ping, since it seems that they are never actually facing where they look to be. More specifically I am referring to Zed and of course Sea. Both high pingers, both difficult to dodge. Their range is...meh

We practiced on our [CTU]Practice&scrim server. It is unlagged and I generally have a ping from 30 to 50. Though I do get a kick out of making it lagged via rcon whithough them knowing for a few rounds durring devmap practice, while they go WTF? I always tell them what I did after messing with them for a few minutes, and change it back..

I figure there has to be some way to calculate a goons position based on its ping. The only dodge that I have found remotely successful is the "facetail" dodge.

Anyone have any other ideas? Ill be practicing some more to see if I can come up with any more consistent success against different people with such ping.

One thing I like to do against high pings is to stay close because if you backpedal, their ridiculous range throws you off because they can hit you.

Yeah thats something I noticed also. So far like I said, the facetail is my only success.

As i play on high ping servers, i'll try much to get humans side, and try to get s2 as soon as possible. Why's that? The pulse rifle is the reason.

Pulse rifle is known to got... late shots so to say. With that, I can always fix my aim in every shot or so. Dunno how it works with other players.

If you want to experiment a bit more with this, I think cl_packetdelay (insert ping increase) is the command for setting your ping, though I'm not sure how reliable it actually is, or if it would be accurate for looking into this more.

Hmm. I always wondered if there was a way to force a high ping on yourself. Guess thats the answer. I think I wanna mess around with that now.

I used to frequently have high ping (and I still do, occasionally, more jitter than anything) around 150-200 or so, and after my ISP fixed up the phone lines, my ping was around 50-80 average. Having a suddenly much lower ping threw me off so I used cl_packetdelay 45. It's a good starting value to get a feeling on how the movement works at that ping.

I dont really see how that is considered a cheat. Someone enlighten me.

Ranged hits? Around the corner rifling?

Well if euros can do it, isn't it fair that us Americans be able to do it as well?

That's only if you play on unlagged. Or 1.1.
