Fast can relate to how fast something moves as a vector being a steady rate of speed in a given direction, but it can also relate to how fast something goes from dead stop to full on speed. Fast is used to describe acceleration. So, while it may be true that your top speed is the same(which it isn't we'll get into this) your acceleration to that speed is much faster.
Not only does bandwidth influence motion of the players which one of its 2 best benefits(in quake 2 this is the best benefit because the rail kills more players than any other weapon and an oced player in q2 is very hard to hit with a rail) the other benefit is the increased firerate.
Really increasing your bandwidth whether by increased os thread usage with speed gear or with conventional overclocking it increases the acceleration of all sprites in the game. So your thinking whats a sprite. A sprite is really anything in the game that moves and thats also the definition. All weapon projectiles are sprites it doesn't matter what gun you are talking about they all have sprites even if its jut the flash of the barrel and the flecks coming off the walls when it hits.
When you oc, your character has the ability to move faster, it seems in the game in some limited instances to make the character light as a feather. So, when the player is hit with rockets or any other kind of explosive weapon if he's already a few inches off the ground BOOM it hits him he gets less damage and goes flying across the room to survive and run off. In Q2 it seems to give the player the ability to never, unless they stand right on them, get tripped on grenades, and the incredible juke speed makes rail shots pure luck and not skill.
Now for those of you with 6 series gpus, just because I'm not a total hater, I'll tell you how to get rid of the largest latency ever intentionally dropped on a computer user. In the 6800 series some graphics card manufacturers through a variable in the universal Nvidia bios chose to activate an option that automatically puts 248 pci latency ontop of your graphics card and with a program called pci latency tool you can eliminate that . Other latencies include various bus and chip tweaks for the computer inside the case, many of which, are essential to good cheating. So, I suggest you study every chip in your computer and how to get at them.
did read through your entire first post. i agree with a couple things, but do disagree with a large majority. Especially the intent of the post, which is that people are pulling some grand heist of making the game extremely easy for themselves that skill can't make up for. That is just plain wrong. One of the great things about q2, and why i am still around, is that we can customize it and make it our own time and time again to keep from getting bored. However, even taking ones own personal time to adjust settings so it will run at absolute maximum for each given computer just doesnt make up that much difference. It still comes down to skill.
First, let's define cheating. Allot of you will respond hackz,cheatz,progz,wall hacking........ but those are only the obvious cheats and the ones that often don't last except for when a mod is not around, and we all know what they are so lets discuss something even better. Actually, there are many more and useful cheats for the player that is good but lacking that little bit to become great.
Also, what i read of your first post, and this one here is basically: "Anyone beating me is cheating". Punk is completely legit, and uses no cheats whatsoever, including your incredibly overthetop explanations and ideas of them. i have played in the same room as him, and he is dead legit. i think you have a profound LACK of knowledge of the ability to move in the game. The speed is coming from technique, and experience. Period. No other self/ego fluffing/supporting feelings. You have been away. You werent that great when you left, and you are rusty now, AND the game has moved on from where you were then.
Really cheating is anytime when the players playing the game are not on equal footing(and they never are).
The single greatest thing about this game is the fact that after all these years, it is still evolving. The average player is better then ever, and the core players are very long time players with many, many years of skill. Also, TastySpleen is becoming the Sun in the solar system of q2 servers, and as the most population is here, it attracts others. Others that played on other servers you had no idea of, and have no idea how good these people are.
Your idea that someone YOU dont know that is winning and stomping the shit out of your average skill self should be banned is completely proposterous. You have this mentality that seems to support about 1% of the people that walk through these doors thinking A: You are something special to the game, B: you are more intelligent then all the dumbasses around you, C:you are up on a pedastal looking down at all the hapless retards swimming in a see of chaos beneath you. You are incorrect.
ColdFlo continues to make an ass out of himself.
You portray yourself as some kind of hardass but your really just another punk get fucked bitch................I mean cmon you hawk over the forums what a dork.....................
