Description
Hi,
I noticed that when hosting games, sometimes a player could drastically slow my response time when typing (up to 10 secs), when the player leaves, the lag desappears.
Wether it has to deal with the player's ping or not is not important, but it made me think of a feature which could be interresting in the lobby.
Show in the battle window, the pings between the players and the host, so that a player will know if he will/won't be able to play the game properly.
To avoid FPS/ counterstrike players to be affraid of a ping of... let's say 250 ms (a rather good ping in spring, terrible in FPS), it could be shown as an indicator (good, medium, bad), or like a wireless/gsm receptions bars (.:|).
Cheers, see you ingame
