Well, in the early beta I tried playing this game on 56k, it was great until im in a base with 100 people and the game wont work, doors, terminals and even my gun dont seem to work, so i decided to not play it until i get high speed.
I got DirecWay satellite internet and the first thing i did was try bf1942, turns out since my signal goes to space and back, the best ping i can have is 800. So now i have a slow connection with the biggest bandwidth ever and no games seem to work with it.
I payed $2000 for the satellie and will pay $1000/year for this satellite and its not apparently until the late future , there is absolutely no other form of high speed (except for microwave signals that people are starting to use, but a hill blocks the tower from my place). This f*cking sucks.
If someones in the same situation, with satellite internet that downloads fast but has slow ping, and still have managed to play planetside, please let me know. I don't want to try it myself because i don't really want to buy this game if its just not going to work.
