if you have the minimum recommended network bandwith and latency, then your gameplay experience should be the same as everyone elses.

Huh? Minimum recommended latency? :moo:

With anti-lag code in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, we solved the problem of a sniper shooting at somebody and them dissapearing behind a wall and the server deciding they’re behind a wall by the time your packet gets there, so we stepped back in frames to test that. As I understand, we don’t have to do that in Quake Wars. If you shoot at somebody and they’re in your crosshair and it’s a hitscan weapon, it’s a hit.

Client-side hit detection?

Freaky!
Unpure servers will live up…

Everything in the trailer is actual game footage, it’s just network demos of people running around fighting, there’s nothing pre-rendered and no test animations. It’s obviously been sequenced by a trailer company but the source is all gameplay. The version of the map shown is actually a month old now, the one on the show floor is already far more detailed than this.
