If I only had a nickle for every time I got sniped in the head (D1) while strafing and spraying bullets in someone's face. Latency advantage was all you needed in D1 to do well with a sniper rifle. In D2, being on the wrong side of latency makes GL, VW and sub machine guns nearly impossible to deal with. At least in D1, good awareness and anticipation somewhat gave you a decent chance regardless. In D2 you just have to pray that the force is with you instead of them. I can't even feel all that great about having a good game or making a big play because in the back of my mind I'm wondering if my opponent is dealing with the same shit that sometimes happens to me. But good luck finding very many people that will admit to even the slightest possibility of ever having any kind of advantage. Fragile egos and shallow thought. If it doesn't happen to them or if they're simply unaware when it does, then "it just doesn't happen at all". Also, it's really weird because sometimes I can play D2 for a week or two with minimal issues. Then all of a sudden it just becomes unplayable as if someone just said "Nope, we don't want you having fun anymore, you aren't worthy. Time to flip the switch". So strange.
