Another fantastic community notice by Ned

Think I may give this a shot Ned.

I've never been into the whole Quake thing as an online game, as my pooters have always been too slow. But I've gotten my hands on a legit copy of Q4, and basically just never played it (single), but will give the multi player aspects a go soon.

I'll grab the patch and fire it up tonight me thinks!

Wow.. Just played a Rail only map, with a ping of 244...

Question-> Is the rail gun meant to fire instantly, or is there meant to be a lag there... as in, is it ping related?
