Subject: RE: Almost forgot

I'm curious to know if Blood on TEN was better or not. Kali was playable, but I remember Mplayer was a lagfest.
When Quake first came out, the mplayer games were so laggy it was basically unplayable, but there would still be 8 player games running pretty regularly. I don't know if they ever fixed it, but the mplayer games did not disable the pause command, so anyone could pause the game. With how laggy it was, once someone did that the game would never get unpaused because everyone would try to unpause it. Eventually it would have to get coordinated in chat who would do that, but it never worked out. Quake multiplayer was such a fucking mess, I don't know how anyone played that game.
