Re: newBE What does having a ;ess that 256k pipe have anything to do with being a noob? Did you ever think that they cannot get or afford faster...I am sick of all the negative putdowns people give out to people who do not have a fast connection. On the HL2,net forums and the steam forums, there are posts telling Valve to not optomize for 56 people....that is elitist bullshit from "l33t" players....

Sugar Land, TX | It's the same as them not optimizing the game for people with PII 300mhz with a voodoo 16meg.

It's not the same at all. Slow processor type and speed are easy problems to fix. We all have the same options for fixing them. We can all go down to dell.com (or any other web site) and order the same speed machines.
But networks are not like that. (I wish they were!) If you tell me I need a network faster than 256kb to play a game, I'll decline to participate. High speeds like 256kb are beyond my budget. My least expensive option would be a T1 line for $600 a month.
It's great that you can get a good broadband connection. I wish we all could.  |

Sugar Land, TX | If they catered to the lowest common denominator, the game would suck; therefore, they try to make the game mid to top-end of technology friendly.
Just because you live in the boonies, or are broke, doesn't mean they should make the game just for you. If it means that much to you, get a second job or move to the city; problem solved.

It is said of Muad'Dib that once when he saw a weed trying to grow between two rocks, he moved one of the rocks. Later, when the weed was seen to be flourishing, he covered it with the remaining rock. "That was its fate," he explained. |

Sure great response move to the city or get another job. That is the real mature way to view the world. If they all followed that idea the cities would be 3x as populated and all your costs would sky rocket even higher then they currently are. How would you like to pay $8 for a gallon of milk when ya make $10 an hour see how long you last in the city then.
Not to mention what happens when the farmers move to the city now factor that in less places to grow food your stuck with huge prices now. All because you decided that it's you and only you on broadband the world caters too.
People being one sided such as yourself is what is helping to bring the united states to a halt. It's a real shame if you ask me.

NO you miss the point if that attitude applies to just a game in your opinion then what is actually less important then a game ? In my opinion nothing. So for every little issue you spin your opinion at we end up in a deeper hole then when we started.

If you're that worried about my opinion, you need something else to occupy yourself with. |

Ever hear of turning around a problem on strand at a time? Guess that philosophy is lost on most.
