[cod] Cod4 Pings unusually high

[Kenny Southpark]

  I only saw about a 10 ping decrees with the maxpackets set too 100. You would think that increasing your packet rate would increase net traffic and possibly driving the ping up..
 
Server side make sure sv_fps is set to 20, increasing it will increase the ping unless the client's snaps is = too or > then the servers sv_fps.
 
In the end, Yes CoD4 runs a higher ping rate then other games. Here on my LAN server in game my client will have an average ping of 17, with a high of 24. Other games such as TF2, HL2MP, Source Forts all ping 5-10. I do not recall what BF2 averaged

Well, i guess it's not just me. I'm positive its the game because Itriple checked ports, made sure SElinux is disabled, etc. I've tweakedmy server config settings like max_rate and such and still nothinghelps. I've tried different ports other than the standard 28960 and thatdid nothing. My Tf2 server runs a steady 53ms whereas my Cod4 on thesame box is pinging 88ms average in game, not via a server browser. Soyeah its about 30ms difference; about the same as you're getting. It'sgotta be something in the game. Maybe something with 64bit? My server isdual core operton 1210, 2gb ram, centos.
