anyways, i agree with some of what rams said. too many people use lag as an excuse as to why they lost. can't win them all; sometimes you just lose to someone better. fact of the matter is that the servers are so bad, that pretty much everyone lags.
When your trying to fight and it looks like a shitty stop-motion film, it gets pretty annoying
