Before You Start

When you play an on-line game (not LAN) the lag might interfere with gameplay. A latency of
200 and less usu works once you hit the 300 mark or higher half life becomes unplayable (at least
on my computer). You know: you see another guy standing at the other side of the room and the
next frame you are lying on the ground and he's dancing on your head. Remember that it's better
to drop e few graphic details (like the decals) to improve speed over the net than to have a lot
of lag (esp. if you want to win).

Are there ways to lower latency? Yes there are! You can make specific files which make sure
you don't load decals and other stuff which lower latency! I suggest you look on the internet
for additional info. There are several files you can download like lowping.zip which are a lot
of help.
