I have never seen someone with ping <100.

I tried to join the server that shown up as 15ms, but inside the game my ping still >100.

because in game the number you see is NOT ping, it is latency. similar but different

basically it is how long behind the server you are. 100-300 is pretty normal, anything more than 300 is starting to get rough on you.

separate from the ping you see in the server browser, or pinging a server.

which is fine but really, you can go up to 250-300 pretty safely.

that being said, it of course makes a difference in your response time, so the lower the better. I don't mind being a bit higher on the TPU servers - but any random serve I agree, I'll just leave.

Latency (Delay):
is more commonly known as lag, this is where an input is processed and the output happens
later then expected.
Latency is dependent on a few factors ,such as propogation , the time taken to travel from the
host to the client, the physical connection medium being UTP , wireless or fiber optic, other
processes such as routing and packing and unpacking of packet headers.
So to put things simply latency is the noticeable delay the end user witnesses.

Whereas PING (Packet internet groper)
is mainly used to determine if an IP address exists or is accepting requests (ICMP), its metric ishttp://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?p=1822336#post1822336
based on the overall round trip times of packet from the host to the client and back again.
As it doesn't take into account processing times and the speed of the transmission medium
PING is often lower then the latency metric.

The latest version of Guardian is really nice.

Not only does it now show you the players GUID...you can see what country they hail from!

Another feature that you couldn’t see before in previous versions was when a new player was joining the game…now it tells you who is joining and their IP addy!

All admins should have guardian. It’s def the best tool around for BC2!

Got booted. Why not just ask for someone to switch teams for balance? I can't get back in for a while now.

i had a nice fight with soviet. we were both in the barn. i was on 2nd floor and he was on the 3rd floor.. he kept throwing grenades down and i kept trying to shoot him through the floor.

i finally got him when i heard him throw a grenade but he also go cheesed because i could see the grenade icon leave from where i heard him yell "grenada".

was a like a 90 second battle.

just switched what admin tools i'm using from bc2cc to procon as it has a far more powerful setup with plugin support and a lot more options. Also getting a remote server running procon so myself and my admins can login to that server and control the UK TPU server easily with full logging of events, so if something goes wrong we can see what started it.

link to the tool is http://phogue.net/?page_id=389 and the host i'm using is $5 a month to have the admin tool hosted and running 24/7 is http://proconhosting.enjin.com/home. Admins can be given different privelages and unique logins to administer each server, with different levels of control (which makes things easier).

I'm finding it better than guardian in the way it works - seems to have a lot more options (plus guardian never remembered server info in the build i used, so i gave up on it).

the version of guardian that came out yesterday now has an autobalance feature. also, the config files are all xml docs so you can simply copy and paste them into the new server builds.
