Flying horses I have NOT experienced since the change, used to sometimes on 120 players. I also used to get yelled at on teamspeak "BEHIND YOU", noone there, BAM im dead, invisible player killed me. I assumed this was due to loading slow, losing synch with server, either thru pc speed or net speed. Instead now I sometimes get: Stabs go thru ppl. This can be quite bad. Teleporting players. This is also quite bad when the guy 10 feet infront of you suddenly chambers a stab and BAM hes behind you and your ass is penetrated. These are events witnessed by others on teamspeak, I confirmed they all saw same thing. Stuff that just I am getting I blame my rig for. Stuff that everyone corroborates means it is serverside.
But overall, I was very impressed, was playing 100 vs 100 and it was not too treacly, could block well, not as precise as low pop/ping servers, but not as bad as playing on 100+ ping, so liveable and good fun when 60-80 players are squabbling over the flags, is great to see ebb and flow as each side claims it, is pushed back, reclaims it, etc. Also is fun to make up 20 man shieldwalls and still have a ton of guys hanging around waiting for the charge.
