Registration
#1
Right... this has been annoying me for some time now. Over and over again i hear people always say "reg is shit". From my own conclusion after playing the game for several years i have been confused as to how people can actually manage to notice a difference (besides on the usual laggy 33 tick server).

Personally, i believe "reg" is impossible to notice unless in extreme cases.

not necessarily, if your in cal, cevo, and just play the game, you can tell (to a point) that the reg is off. Most cases, it's just people who suck at the game, and blame it on the reg. Also, many times it's the servers performance/rates that throw it off as well.

After many many years of hosting servers I came to the conclusion that reg is somehow dependent on a few factors.
1 is the performance of the actual server machine.
2 is rate settings
3 the player's slot
4 the server FPS
5 the server tickrate

Where the performance and FPS is most important!
Now here is the most interesting part however:
I myself have experimented a lot playing in the servers myself, in quite an amount of servers the player slot you join is crucial for getting good registration.
This meaning, when I first joined the game, shots were simply missing, once I had rejoined and got a new UserID/player slot from the server all of a sudden all my bullets start hitting.
One time it took 15 rejoins before I got the good reg but it's a huge difference, it often gets me from scores like 1 kill 20 deaths to 20 kills and 1 death just by rejoining.

Now hit registration has always been a grey area, we do not know exactly what influences it, I've seen servers on the best hardware running the worst servers and the other way around. But as far as I know, there are a LOT of things it depends on.

And like dualcore said, only people that know the game pretty good and have "talent" for games really see/notice the difference. People that just spray a bit won't care about the 2mm difference in their aim, players at advanced/professional level however will notice pretty quick.
A lot of players also just have to blame something for their crap shots Wink

Hello Drazah Smile

Your match servers have brilliant registration and have the stats to back them up so I wouldn't worry about it. Whats to improve? Toungue

I'm not implying its something to do with my servers at all. Generally saying i find most people use the same reg excuse.

Agreed Dracona, i have played cs,css at top levels for a long time and still though it is quite hard to notice reg (without being biased to ny own servers).

Say if your shooting at someone and you know you hit them and you see blood on their face but they seem to not even be shot and that is what people call "bad reg". Reg is just how well a server tracks your shots or something like that.

reg is often used as an abbreviation for "hit registration"

And yes drazah, it's hard to notice but when you get to some servers (might be hard finding them but, nothing personal against gameservers.com, try some of those) you can notice it really well!
There are quite some difference in hit registration, when you find a bad one you know exactly what I mean Smile Some are just too bad for words (so bad you actually need to aim 1 inch in front of a running enemy to hit him Smile )
