...so will the games speed be increased?...I doubt it.

Like Nferno said..get a faster computer if you want the game to run faster/smoother....or..make sure your PC is running at optimal preformance by doing some routine maintenance.

Players may wanna check out PcPitStop and read about ping, baud speeds, and what other info they have there...you know...so everyone is on the same page and knows what the hell they're talking about.

It wouldn't hurt to take their "Full Tests" either.
It may help you identify "bottle necking" that could be occuring in your PC, through your ISP...or by virus's,spyware,or just poor maintenance.
...Any and all of wich can and do effect how fast your computer runs applications.

If your game is not running at a constant 40 FPS (+/- 5 FPS)...then you have issues.

To test your frames per second inside the game.
enter a match, open the chat box and type /fps
then press enter.

Note: While at PcPitStop besure to read up about Gator (aka: Clair)...it kills your PC's resources and preformance...if you have it or any of it's components on your PC...get rid of them.[/quote]
if you get below 20 FSP your in trouble :biggrin: 25-30 then your ok...but 35 and above is the one you want to have the best game play biggrin:
