I have to agree that lag is the biggest issue with a lot of these people. 
I play on a P90 in vidmode 1 during coffee breaks at work we are on a T1
line and there are still times that lag is a killer.  Some days I can
unload a couple of  rockets at a guy with haste, but by the time the first
rocket should have hit him he (or she - being politically correct) is past
me and taking the shot at me that kills me.  Then there are other times it
seems I can do no wrong at a server where there are some really good
players.  Sometimes I can't get anything going against these guys (often it
is due to lag). I feel it often depends on where and when you enter a level
that will allow you to compete against these guys even with a slower
machine.

Just my $0.02 (0.015 US$ being Canadian).

Ciao for now
