The Landslide
[13] Hero
Enk, how can you be sure it was a lag switch or standbye? I've played Halo 2 and SC online with you quite a bit, so you know I'm very familiar with this stuff, but like you said it was a Florida to California connection on SC4, a game with some of the worst netcode ever. How can you be sure? What if he just has a bad router, or his neighbor started using his Wi-Fi? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but how do you know it was malicious?
I'm not trying to come at you here, so don't get that misunderstood, but do you think it was maybe your accusations that caused Alex's trolling response? I know you are a very competitive person, so it would hurt to have been cheated, but in an unstable environment like SC4 I'm not sure I could ever know if it was really cheating or not.
It sucks to say but when it comes with online there is a third player involved -- the connection. And sometimes he picks sides. You just have to roll with it, but at the same time you seem pretty confident that it was Alex and I just want to know how that's possible.
Edit: Also, I hope your brother is OK. I've been there with heart problems, it's scary stuff.
