"GTFO lagger, you're making the server lag!"

[Syuusuke]

A true story...

Once a upon a time, in Yoyorast Island, Diesel's III server, some guy was telling some other guy to leave because he was lagging the server up.

I tell him, "A person lagging does not lag the server up, rather it only lags himself up."

He tells me that players with ping of >200 lags the server up...then continues to tell me that I have no knowledge of Halo...great. Then I continue to ask if he sees players warping, because if so, then that client must be downloading some pr0n. He tells me no one is warping and again say that I know nothing of Halo. Of course I don't.

My question is this: If a player is lagging, does it lag the server up, besides the warping.

[InnerGoat]

Uh, yes. only that player would warp though.. at least for me.

[Pooky]

When there's a laggy guy in the server for me it usually only lags me if I'm in the lagger's immediate vicinity

[DaneO'Roo]

Not true.

it's not believe me I fucking know. I may warp to you, but my whole screen warps, to the point where I don't know where I am. But I'm not lagging the server. Only myself.

Err it lags the server...

Because I use to crash servers by spiking my ping up with some friends, yea we were assholes that thought it was funny.

[WhÎþLå§h ÐÆmØÑ]

Yeah, with Halo's netcode, it doesn't effect only the client (like in Halo 2).

[Syuusuke]

My old dial up ping was 200-400 =S

It sort of doesn't make sense, but then again if you apply some logic it does make sense...oh well

I was owning in one of the only european servers (its bg 24/7) some dude came in, I owned him he was like "YEAH well i have 169 ping and you have 69 ping".

The one time I dont have high ping and others do people say i own because of pings. All the time when I was the lagger I said about pings, they just say "yeah watever"

Pings do effect everyone, because say I have 70 ping, some dude has 800 ping.

Hes lagging around like a mofo and hes missing me because hes lagging at his pc, I cant hit him well because hes jumping around due to lag so it appears in once place then suddenly a different place.

[Syuusuke]

Thus warping, but the guy at Diesel's said that he wasn't warping, I think he just looked at this ping and said "GTFO" and he was probably experiencing lag of his own, and so was I.

It only lags the server in a sense that the motion prediction will become messed up.
