I finally got to play a bit of the WolfMP test yesterday and enjoyed myself a great deal. I was surprised at how respectable my 'net connection felt, considering all the complaints I'd read about the netcode and the fact that the Mr. Scott-style jury-rigging that got me and all the folks using my provider back online is causing crazy packet-loss for me at the moment (to the tune of close to 50%), so I'm assuming that rate change mentioned yesterday is a factor for a lot of people having troubles. That packet-loss does cause one other frustration, however, as many servers won't let me in, saying they are for low-pings only, and normally I'm as unrepentant an LP a B as you'll find. Speaking of that rate command, I was surprised to find how easily this was changed through one of the menu options (not because it isn't a feature that's now commonplace as a menu choice, but because so many folks seemed to be unaware of it), which can be found under Options->System->Other. The only other problem I encountered was the getting shot by teammates (seemed to be the same guy on every server too, some dude named "player," so watch out for him), though I even found amusement on one server where the operator was countering this by keeping friendly fire turned off, which didn't stop one of my German teammates from continuing to spray us with the flamethrower, leading to a bunch of guys trying to defend the bunkers while trying to ignore the fact that they were on fire.

P.S. Sorry about the late update, I hope to be back on a more normal schedule tomorrow.
