a good reason to use a switch or router instead of a hub in LAN games

It also depends on how you hook to the internet. The faster your connection the better.

low ping=GOOD
high ping=BAD

And just so you know, PING is actually an acronysym.

It stands for

Packet
INternet
Groper

(And no I am not kidding, you are groping the Internet).

Ping is the great and powerful controller of all things Atari.

All hail Ping the merciless!

the time it takes the information to get from your computer to the server, and back

so basically its a direct measurement of net delay or lag

the higher it is, the more you have to lead your shots

<50-60 is very good, 30'ish and below is lan quality, so your shots will be pretty accurate

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain ping? Thank you!
