Instead of banning/warning people that spike/lag in CW, why don't you just finally code a check that if someones ping is getting too high for several times he gets kicked?

offended by thread title. please ban this man.
That would be dumb. Just saying, there is no point in making that. Some people spike for no reason, and then they get kicked from the game ? what if you alt tab and you spike a bit, you'll get kicked ? pointlesssss
no... cus brs wont be able to play cw=[
The problem with that is that the game is peer to peer, meaning this isn't your connection to the server, it's your connection to other players.
In other words the server is just a matchmaker and your connection varies from person to person. (Ex: You may have a 500 ping to one person, and 50 to another)
Of course it could also be made that if your ping to the server is high that the person isn't allowed to login but how accurate would this ping measurement be to other players? People living far away from the server will ping high to the server while pinging to their buddies 50ms.
Also a simple action on your PC like opening skype can cause you to spike, making it so the person DC's.
P.S When you look at a persons ping, it's actually showing your own ping to that person, it isn't their ping to the server/other players.
This might sound far fetched to people because they are used to having a server to play on (Server meaning both non-player server and player servers [AKA Host])
That's what I suggested. [NOBR] tag. :c
