Those of you who play ut2k4 should check out this mutator. Its been out for a while now but the latest version(1.6) adds a new enhanced net code feature. Its a nice feature that makes the gameplay so much smoother(esp. for higher pings, unless its too high maybe) and gives you an offlinelike feel, similar to a zeroping mod. So you don't have to be a wannabe psychic with your guns anymore.
If you play ut2k4 online you should definitely check out a server that runs utcomp1.6(not the betas unless its beta8) with enhanced netcode on. Of course if you're on adsl it will help you more than a dialup user. If you're on dialup don't hesitate to give it a go, I haven't tried it on dialup and it may not be as smooth with a 250+ ping but it should definitely be an improvement over the regular netcode. The servers I frequent I ping from 104-150 and in many situations I've been able to rack up more kills than ever before and achieve higher scores..
Of course a good [40 or 50 pinger will still own you but with the enhanced net code you're almost on an equal footing now.
The guys who made this did a good job I wonder how the f I managed without it. You don't have to download and install it to try it(unless you're a server admin of course), just find a server with utcomp1.6 mutator on it with the enhanced netcode enabled. I can pour out some server ips if anyone wants.
Oh yeah more info on utcomp
