Is 80ms ping too high for Multiplayer gaming?

Ethan_Hunt · 29-07-2009, 01:55 PM

I'm not too much into multiplayer gaming, so forgive the ignorance. I was playing Bionic Commando Multiplayer recently & found that my character moves fluidly & the game doesn't stutter either. The only problem is that every other player that have joined for that sessions have jerky movements. I mean they aren't having a proper flow, if you get what I'm saying. I got a ping test done over speedtest.net & found out that my ping is stuck at 80ms.

Now is that too high for Multiplayer online gaming? Is that the reason for the delay in Bionic Commando as well? What's an ideal ping for multiplayer session? What is the cause of such high ping? How do I rectify it?

30 is acceptable ping for multiplayer. So 80 will give issues.

80ms ping is more than enough for MP games, even 200ms pings wont give problems that you r having.You shud do a ping test frm your computer to the server you are connecting to.I guess it will be more than 500ms thats y its jerking.

^ actually, 200ms is acceptable only in UrT. UrT's anti-lag correction system is designed well. For CS, even 60ms sucks...

I can murder them even at ping of 350 at UrT. I am not sure about bionic commando.
But 80 ms ping in India is good.

Your opponents may be lagging. They might be getting high pings.
