Quote:Dust uses client-side hit detection for graphics & sounds, and server-side hit detection for applying damage to the target. This is a compromise that gives you immediate feedback for your actions (shield flash and sounds) while also being difficult to exploit.
I'm totally ignorant about networking, but... wouldn't it be better if everything was client-side and then just send the whole packet to the battle server?? |

Welcome to aimbots and lag-switches, my friend.
Server side hit-detection is the only way to save an FPS from hackers. |

well, yes, this might be true for PC games, but afaik ps3 is much harder to hack (I mean with aimbots etc) and, yes, lagswitches are a plague, but you can easily fix that (latency/packet loss auto kick)
oh and btw yes, I'm looking for some discussions just because i really hate to see my "1 bar ping" in PC battles |
