    What the hell do you know about networking? The further you are away from the server, the more hops it takes between backbones and local networks. This relaying takes time. Packets travel also. Going from one end of the world to the other also takes time. It's not a problem for most tasks but when your talking about a twitchy fast paced game, every millisecond counts.

    just got 101 2 hours ago =)

    actually funny story. I was fighting a guy, then someone else comes in and kill steals, but I grab the credits and begin to fight him. Then someone comes in the room and kill steals AGAIN etc....

    That way no one reached the 10 limit and I grabbed all the credits.

    I'm thinking about switching to Assault from Infiltrator now that Infil. is so weak...what do you guys think?

    My goals in life look differently. You can have my #2 spot I don't have any problems with that... How many credits should you buy? Depending on how much you want to play daily... if you want to keep up with the big boys here you should spend at least 3-4 hours daily to catch up. 40 GBP is the minimum requirement if you want to make it till next month :) Otherwise it will take like a 3-4 months if you play for free. The problem is though it doesn't really matter how good you can get at this time... the limit is your connectivity and ping.. if you see people fly by in 10 fps you have reached your max. As servers are distributed evenly in the US only outsiders have problems competing, that's the fact currently. I think this will change in future as the game gets more popular, in Germany most people I know stopped playing because the connection is not optimal. If it gets better this might change.

    PS: I'm letting my buddies here on TA know once I made it to #2 because it's like #1 for the rest of us as Terrorist is keeping his #1 to death right now. You're announcing that you "might" be the one to kick my ass once your up which is a very uncertain statement. There are 500,000 players on Eliminate and so far not too many can kick my ass constantly. We will see if you are one of those :):D:D:D:D

    True... you only know how important that is if you don't have that fluid gameplay and get killed by people you don't even see.

    Tank is the worst map. I think they should put both of the shields in the water

    Agreed, but I'd go further and ask why it even has 2 shields in the first place?

    Sure, we can have some private games tomorrow... today I've given up... my hopes are for tomorrow in order for the lag to be gone. What Skill level and Rank are you?

    I'm a 53 with 3577 Skill, I'm keeping it a little low for now so I can get more credits per game, and try to fully upgrade my Assault now that they have nerfed the Infiltrator's Defense. I had a 6600 skill when I was in the 30s though! I'll add you. :)

    :) Cool... we can have some fun tomorrow :D It's always good in order to learn some nice tricks... What time zone are you in? I will be around about the same time tomorrow. I'm in Germany it's 6 hours ahead of NY and 9 ahead of San Francisco.

    I'm one hour behind NY, so 7 hours behind you. I can get on pretty much any time tomorrow between 2:30 P.M. and 9:30 P.M., so that's 9:30 P.M. to 4:30 A.M. for you. Haha, sorry about the strenuous time slot for you, hope you can play somewhere in there!

    I'd go even further and ask why there's even a berserker shield in the first place?

    It feels like they buffed up the auto rifle again, which is awesome.
