Re: Ping Unfairness
correct me if i'm wrong but---
doesn't xbox live require broadband?
while PC gamers can play on whatever connection they can get?
that would mean that xbox players will all have a good standard of connectivity while there may be some PC players with sub-par ping.
in FFXI, it was optimized so that even if you have 56k dailup, you'd still enteract at roughly the same time as everyone else. it would never really turn into failure in a battle.
but for something like a first person shooter, they can't slow everyone down for a dailup user. and even the difference between DSL to broadband would mean victory or defeat in some cases.
