 |  What would the game be like with no lag? Ok.. so a big part of the game is dealing with lag to some extent. If you don't know how to lag shoot then you will be at a disadvantage eventually. Weapon choices are sometimes based on lag. Certain styles of play are enhanced by it. What if there was no lag though? All of your shots land exactly where you think they are. How would the game change? The most obvious is revolvers and pistols. They would be much more popular. Pistols would still be considered worse simply because of the spike damage of the revolver, but more people would be willing to use pistols for their other advantages. K-style might be in some real trouble. I can guarantee you there are plenty of people with accurate aim that just can't lag shoot.. thus are forced to use spray type weapons. I'm one of them. I can get hit indicators all day on all but the fastest of k-stylers(You know the type.. the ones so fast you wonder if they use macros or just play way to much). The problem is I can't lag shoot worth a damn. I know this is a useless discussion, but I would like to know what others think about how the dynamic of the game would change. Would the player base be recognizable? Would the tactics most people use be much different knowing that all shots land where they were meant to? Would e-stylers sporting dead aim push k-style out of the lime light? |

 | Re: What would the game be like with no lag? Wow, GunZ without lag would be a phenomenal game. And not just lag should be takened out, but AE too. Revs would definetaly be used more frequently, but I'm sure shotguns would still be around. Learning RS/RHS would pretty much be a huge advantage, K Style would dominate the game... But the only thing we can do is think about it >_< |

| Re: What would the game be like with no lag? It would suck in more ways then one. >.> For one, dStyle would cease to exist, being that most of its glitch based moves use the lag to become so deadly. (Dunno if that is the word I was looking for...*Shrugs*) On the other end, kStyle might be thrown off slightly, merely for the fact that blocking a Bfly would actually stun everytime the hit would register. kStyle would get the advantage. And shotgun spamming would become commenplace...as much as we hate it... |
