netcode killed me though. At first, a little lag meant you dropped through the game world into the nethervoid, before teleporting back onto the track somewhere. They fixed that I think, but last time I tried, lag meant that my control was screwed. That is to say, if I was turning and lag hit, my character would continue turning (even after I released the turn button) and I'd slam into a wall somewhere.
I'm not sure what a game should do when communications are interrupted for a second or two. Maybe that just shouldn't happen (it's an easy fix right?)
I did enjoy the game when ping was fine. Just wish the weapons were more.. something
