All part of the challenge Satchmo. Playing new maps can be a bit frustrating, but I usually find the most fun is in mastering the map.

DM_Pit2 is right here at snarkpit, get a copy and learn its secrets. Its one endless trap to ensnare the other fraggers in. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

As far as new maps, copy the list and attempt to locate the maps elsewhere ahead of time. HL2 has a browser option just like hammer. You can filter out all the maps and look at the servers just hosting a single map name.

Afterward, you can roam around the maps by loading a LAN game and learning the nuances of the maps structure and layout.

BTW, what was the pings? mine hovers at 75-85.. I can definitely deal.

The server is located in Orange County, California. I happen to live right on the border of Los Angeles County and Orange County, so I got some of the best ping. I think it was 46 last night. It's just as good as if I were running the map from my LAN.

Ping of 30 is great. Are you sure you're not talking about framerates?

I've gotten as low as 9 ping on servers (not LAN). On a fast server I usually get upper teens lower twenties.

Wow, those are fast pings. I've never personally seen any pings lower than forty.

I was just wandering around the server tonight, but unfortunately no one was on. Some random dude joined the game, but we were running around this huge map and never saw each other. I did hear him (or her) fire a few Magnum shots, but I don't think they were aimed at me.

It did get my adrenaline flowing though. I was all geared up (armor charged up to 200) and loaded with weapons and ammo when he (or she) signed on. It would've been a huge slaughter if I ran into the other player with my crossbow or combine rifle energy ball.

If anyone is interested in fragging on this server, we better make some prior agreement so we can all meet at the same time. Otherwise, we'll just keep on missing each other.

Should we pick a time that's convenient for everyone interested? We should pick a standard time (i.e. London time). I will be free on June 11th (Saturday) at 16:00 London time. If anyone is free, meet me at the server.

Tis your computer then, not the maps silly. :/

I have seen pings in the lower 20's but rarely actually connect at such.. My ping at Juims is in the 70's-80's and I can live with that.

Pings got up for many reasons.

1) your upload is to slow. (assuming you have broadband)

2) someone is downloading the map.

3) to many hops between you and them.

Sadly, I have never found a server right here in Arkansas.. I do not think anyone but me plays HL in the whole state. :/
