And cant you imagine the annoyance of internet inconsistency on either end causing the quality of the game to vary from second to second. Not the time. |
As long as your internet stays ok, the quality would be constant. This isn't a bandwith problem, just ping. By being smart even the ping doesn't matter.
Take a rocket. While it is in air the servet can calculate explosion and destruction, then send it back to you before the rocket is even half way there.
Or you can have the server generate new light maps for after the building you shot down collapses. Real time lights handle the transition until the light map is loaded.
Or a burning building. The server can calculate realistic fire flow and use that info to modify the local simulation in real time.
All of these take little bandwidth and could handle seconds of latency.
