How did you die because of lag?
I had lag all the time in the beta, but never died because of it. Had my hard worked spawn order screwed up, thats all.
Seriously, when I had lag I simply moved to a location where no monsters came to, even if I had to run through 100s of mobs to get there. I never got aggro. Lag is awesome for exploring high level areas, you just dont want to have the lag go away while doing so.

I have given up on waiting for BIS to come back to their senses and do a real ArmA 2 successor.
