What's with other players turbo speed

baldwin8 · #1 10-06-2009, 01:14 AM

I went online today and joined a quick match and noticed several other players zipping around the air as if like spaceships. I seen this on a few other online games and wondering what is up with all this. I'm not into special controllers and have not idea what causes that. Anyone else experience this? I knew I couldn't compete with that so I left.

Would appreciate any thoughts.

Are we talking about arcade difficulty? because then...yes.. you can fly as fast as a space ship

Well it was arcade, which I have played a number of times online, but in this session it was beyond arcade setting.

In arcade, if you put full WEP non stop, you will go something like 1500kp/h. So if you were flying at normal speeds (500kp/h), it might have seemed beyond arcade..

But since I dont know exactly what you saw, it could also be lag, but I suppose you know what lag looks like, and what a fast plane looks like

.
So if it wasnt lag, is prob just was a really fast plane

Might have been lag I saw this lastnight in a match with 16 people in it.

In my experience, very few hosts can handle games bigger than 8 or 10 players. Now and then someone can handle 12, but they're rare.

If I join a 16 player game and it launches full, I know I'm in for an impossible to play lagfest until at least half the players quit or get disconnected.

And if it's a strike or CTA game then it's highly probable that several people are going to be continuously spawn-crashing too, until enough players leave for the network to stabilise.

That sounds like a bad case of Lag. Nothing you can do but quit in those circumstances.
