The problem is, people are exploiting the game by setting lower rates. This makes that player alot more difficult to hit without them losing any sorts of performance to their bullet registry.
The thing that needs to be seen really is the ability to control the cl_cmdrate and the cl_rate just like the cl_updaterate and rate commands. For example (cl_maxcmdrate and cl_maxclrate), or at least the ability to see what a clients cl_cmdrate and cl_rate is using the status command as you can see their rate and cl_updaterate. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: 21 July 2005 19:46 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] rate toggle Could I have a synopsis of the problems you are seeing please. - Alfred ----Original Message---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of K2 Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 11:39 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] rate toggle > I've been getting my fair share of cl_cmdrate exploiters as well, > using the Mani admin plugin to check up on suspected exploiters has > been a big help.
