Hi, this may seem a funny question, but is the mp game playable on a 56K modem, or is it just too slow? Do you need broadband to be able to get anywhere?

For most people yes, I've had people in groups on 56Ks be fine, no lag, and someone on cable get like 5K behind, get lost, and die before he knew what happens.

Anyway check out this thread for more info.

i have seen some servers say no 56k modens
they seem to reckon it lags everyone out and spoils thier game which i doubt
but make sure the server you pick does allow them

as far as i know they cant
some though do seem to reckon it causes lag to everyone
i played on one where there was some lag , it was nothing to do with me, a guy who said he was admin said to me to turn off my mods ? (i dont have any, i dont even know how)
then he started on the 56k modem rant (in rather unpleasant tones) i honestly think if i had been using a 56k modem i would have been banned
unfortunately he did all this on private channel as i would have liked a few ppl to see what he was saying(maybe whoever was modding might have bogged off !)
as to 56k lagging everyone i doubt it i have played with ppl on 56k and in a big battle they get some lag but everyone else was fine!
anyone know any different ?
