The command "cl_maxpackets X" is a console command that changes the maximum number of packets sent to the server per second. The higher this value is set at (Any integer from 15 to 125) the lower your ping will be and the more stable your connection to the server. The Freezetag 1 server is currently sitting at "cl_maxpackets 30" which is very low and results in around 15-20 more ping than you would get using 100 or 125. For example, my ping would go from 54 to 34 if it was set at 100/125. Someone with 110 ping would go to around 90 and someone with 100 ping would goto 80. This would provide a better experience for all players. The default cl_maxpackets can be changed in the server.cfg. Please consider this. @Ruggerxi Another thing I'd like to add is that the other MW2 Ftag server uses 100 packets. But for some reason this server is defaulted on 30.

The max allowed is 125, and it should tell you the range when you try and change it. However that much is overkill anyway. 100 should be fine. I dont know if previous patches (1.6 and earlier) limited it to 100 but all the cod4 servers here are 1.7 anyway. YACCster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The server(MW2 FT) defaults me back to 100 after every round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If you install the COD4x mod you can go up to 125 maxpackets. It makes about a 10% lower ping for me when I do that. Our servers are stock COD4 1.7 and after each game on the MW2 FT it resets to the 100 so you need to change your client back to 125 again.
