Damn, I want to wear you out just for posting a dumbass Soldier of Fortune 2 question. I guess the forums at http://www.planetsoldier.com/ werent working...Anyway, low pings only means you need a ping that isnt too high (IE: You have a s**tty net connection, you have a high ping) and punk buster is an anti cheating system. Think Cheating Death for Soldier of Fortune.

High ping (ie 10^3 milli seconds) = dial up
Low ping (ie 100ms or less) = DSL, ADSL etc.

Try editing your rates, dunno the commands, but when you edit your rates, you should be able to tone your pings down a bit. Don't expect wonders.
Also, try a virusscan/spywarescan to check for programs that could use your internet (so you get the s**tty ping).

thanks for barely helping me.the reason I posted it here is because this part of the forum is called "general banter" and I didn't want sighn up on some s**tty public raven site just to ask one question.
and I don't cheat but punkbuster kicks me out for no apperant reason.
and for more information on the forums and general banter cunsult a moderator or the faq.

For the record, PlanetSoldier is another GameSpy site and in no way affiliated with Raven Software, just as PHL is not affiliated with Valve, PlanetUnreal not affiliated with Epic, etc.

hahahaha Punkbuster. What a piece of crap. I laughed when they threw in the towel on HL because Valve didn't want to work with them.
As for the ping, you're just out of luck. Either you have to find a server that doesn't kick due to ping or get a new connection. I feel your pain on this one, because I used to always get booted for 'lagging the server', which, in HL at least, is not the fault of any high ping players. In fact, those people who have tiny pings and connect with huge rates are the ones who lag servers if anyone... but I digress.

Oh, and another thing:
High Ping Bastards have >250 ping
Low Ping Bastards have <250 ping
The labelling has nothing to do with your method of connecting. If you use cable and get 300 ping, you're a HPB. Just trying to help ![]()

Mines more expensive now, with a cap (Cable), then it was three years ago when it was 30 bucks a month-uncapped. (It's fifty now, capped, if you want uncapped its 90 a month wtf is up with that?).
Damn At&t selling their cable rights . . . [addsig]

Comcast did it the lazy way, they just put their name on everything. They still haven't changed the servers, I still have an attbi ip address (named under ipconfig).
It works kind of like phone service though too. You can't choose your provider. It's whoever owns the lines in the ground around your house (goddamned Verizon owns my phone lines GRR!). [addsig]
