<div class="IPBDescription">Why people with high pings ruin games</div>So I was playing a pub game of NS2 on a west coast server. I noticed this gent teleporting around the map. I checked the scoreboard. Low and behold. He has a ping of 445. So out of curiosity I decide to check out his steam profile page to see where in the world he is located. Oh snap, he's on the west coast as well? So I think to myself. Why do I have 25 ping and he has 445 ping consistently? Is his internet really that bad? Probably not. So then I notice he's 5-2. Seems like he's having no issues getting any kills. I saw him take down some teammates as well. So what's really going on here? Could he be possibly rate hacking/speed hacking? It's a known issue in the community. Possibly. This is not meant to be a witch hunt thread. The point of me going through all the trouble to divulge this information is to get some sort of high ping kick function implemented either by the DEV's or by the community. That way server admins can stop this sort of thing from happening if they so choose.

    I've yet to see someone with such bad ping actually do well in the game. I don't know what else this thread is if not a witch hunt.

    Obviously you didn't watch the video or review the screenshots. He has 445 ping and a 2.0 KDR. The video speaks for itself.

    It's not a witch hunt thread because I'm not accusing anybody of hacking. Just relishing some hypothesis'.

    I'm not sure either. Players who teleport usually do it in short bursts so they tend to be stuck for a bit making them easier to hit. Even in that video his movement was a bit slow and clunky. Can skulks even hack? I thought it was a marine thing.
