I've noticed this a lot lately.
I ping fairly well to some servers (150s) and others I ping even better (50-80s) the difference in my kill / death ratio is astounding.
In the 150s I struggle for a 2.5 / 1
In the 50-80s I get 3.5 / 1 without much difficulty.
This morning I trully saw it when I kept facing 2 players on a server who both had 50-59 pings and 2.5 / 1 kill ratios, I had a 150+ ping and when we would face each other many a times I had the jump on them but after hitting the fire key, his shot went off 1st and he had clearly shot AFTER.
Some other times we would DM in a room and he clearly got off 3 shots (shotgun) before I go off 2, this happened a lot, I was looking for it, heh.
Anyways, I played on server's where I pinged in the 50-60s and I was shooting faster than other players in the 120+.
It's something I would think you would not see anymore with these types of pings.
Take the HL netcode, with a 200-225 ping I'm just as fast as a 50 ping, same for Q3 code, this is based on the Q3Engine, I wonder if they played with the netcode, because it's not Q3 caliber.
Just a though...
