tbh .. dnno if that is with purpose , but i think it sucks when it also fix the rates from players that have rates over 15000 50 50 , thats just bollox that it fix it then , i normally have 25000 100 100 , and i cant play with those rates , theire just to low and i can't play on other servers then cause its just another feeling to play
Its just your feeling that you cannot play with those rates. This because (as you can notice) nearly 80+% of the players uses dodgy rates (alot of rate 25000, cl_updaterate 20, cl_cmdrate 20), now everyone is forced to have good rates, thus making everyone move more smooth, reg better etc, so the overall performances are just much better, including others regging better when shooting on you.
Besides that, the rates you use arnt even apropiet to use on a LAN enviorment.
Origional HL rates, on the fastest settings (LAN) are set on rate 9999, cl_updaterate 50, cl_cmdrate50.
