Now that stuff at the bottom of the page, the in and out, do I want to set my rates to maximize those?[snapback]46032[/snapback]
The rates that you want to optimize in the console are:
cl_cmdrate - (number of updates to send to server?)
cl_updaterate - (number of updates to receive from server?)
cl_rate - number of bytes per second to send from client to server
the trick is to get cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate as high as you can on your connection before it starts to choke (as you can see with net_graph 3). It also helps to check your choke when there is a lot of action going on. Just go up in increments of 10 until you see that.
It makes a big difference. It allows you to send and receive more updates to the server (which means that skulk you're aiming at is really there instead of 5 feet behind you about to chew you up).
