Well, I signed onto Ville 3 at 10 PM pst thinking that AOL won't be too busy, but i was wrong. I used to server watch to see how the servers were and who was on. It showed the stats but when I refreshed it, I got a timeout. I should have taken this seriously, but at the time, I didn't think much of it. I entered TFC and went to the Internet games and saw the ping on 3 was 300 so i decided to connect. At first it retried 4 times without success and told me it couldn't connect. I should have taken this seriously, but I didn't. I tried again and it connected and I chose Engy. I get in the game(badlands) and go outside the base and built a sg without problems. I got to lvl 3, but suddenly, lag. I went back in respawn slowly to see if it will stop without getting myself killed. I waited and waited without success. But while the lag, mysterious occurences happened. PEOPLE WERE MIDGETS, HALF ABOVE GROUND AND HALF BELOW GROUND!!!! See for yourself...
For a closer look....
The engy was Last of the Finest. I also saw others like this includng bada as a Solly. During these my ping was going anywhere from 0 to 4095. Looking at the bottom right of the top picture said my ping then was 3247.
I do hate AOL so very much. Even more now since i have played on a friend of mines comp with DSL and a nice 100ping. I might be playing more over there during the next week or two since i am watching their house for them. Tee hee hee!!!

That was the same thing that happened back when HLguard was h4xin people on avanti and a few other maps. I don't know what the deal is if it's not that. _________________
