	Here Here!!  I noticed that if my ping gets above about 300+ or so, I 
start getting my butt waxed all over the place - but if I have a under 200 
(consistently) then I have no trouble waxing them.  Its really frustrating when 
you just can't seem to get any frags going.  I hate feeling like a newbie!
	Anyone ever notice that when you have pings over 300 that some of your
rockets don't seem to explode?  I've seen a lot of my rockets just fly off into
a wall and dissapear...  Is is just lag that makes me 'miss' the explosion?  It
REALLY annoying when you want to splash damage someone and then don't see it
explode and they paste you instead.  
	I too have had the experience of firing a couple of times
at them only to see them jerk about 20 feet away (due to lag) and see
the 10 rockets they pointed at you blow your head off - while the rockets you 
fired at him are landing safely away from him/her.  "He was standing there just
a second ago - how the hell did he get over there behind me in .00001 seconds!"

Lag sucks
