I think you're wrong about poor connection being rewarded. I live in the middle of nowhere. My connection is crystal clear until a rain comes. Boy have I tried playing in the rain. None of my shots register. I'm dead long after I've ran from the engagement. I throw empty air. Only to spit my grenade out of my mouth 30 seconds later and kill myself. I slice a guy 4 times with a sword. I die by melees I didn't see. On the other side, this guy's running into a wall, free kill. I've learned to stop playing when I'm laggy. Dear -blam!- do I get tilted.
