Yeah duh, most people would say yes but, let's be honest here. Do you guys think that 56k connections will really make the game slower?
I play Warcraft 3 with my 56k, and I never lag unless my ISP shafts me (disconnects me). Now I've also played FPS shooters online, and that can be pretty bad with a 56k.
For those who have played, does the game make sure that all players are up to date (popping up the "waiting for players" screen when someone falls behind) or does the game proceed without waiting, and just lets the lagging players accept bursts of information? These things are important to gameplay. For those who have played, was lag ever a big problem?
