Most lag is serverside. I know quite a few people who play just fine with a 56k modem.
I do suggest, though, that you stay away from HUGE battles.. it probably would lag you down a bit. Otherwise, it should be fine for you.

aww, the huge battles are what interested me the most
 Are there any options, like going air or something like that (I don't wanna play a medic or engineer, i.e I wanna be involved in the combat) that would prevent large scale battles from bogging down my bandwidth?

no, unfortunately a 56k is going to lag either way you play it when it comes to the big battles. just flying into a base some times the amount of bitmapping and other things can slow you down for a second, now had a couple hundred players moving and interacting and ten thousand bullets flying in the air, your going to get some lag. oh, and about the medics and engineers, they are right there in the fight also, this isn't like real life where a medic stays in the hospital and the engineer is in the back with a bulldozer, they are right there in the front just like everybody else.

Definately don't go air. That's usually the first thing to cause lag.
Sniper would be a good one possibly. That or possibly a good Engineer/AMS driver. They usually hang out on the fringes of the main combat area. You don't want to be parking no AMS where it can easily be found. |

Wierd Experiences with Lag,
Well, usually my Reload and Change Ammo buttons get stuck, which tick me off. I've actually been in a huge battle, emptied my Gauss, hit R, nothing, whip out Pistol, empty it, hit r, wait 10 seconds, whip out now loaded Gauss and blast away until I die horribly. Once I was in my Reaver at a capped Base, about 100 people moving around, blinking in and out of existence, floating in the air, running through walls, jumping through doors, and I landed, but I couldn't get out. Alt g said "Just dismount" but G wouldn't work. I lift off and fly around randomly hitting Alt+g, and then land again. I hit G, and suddenly I'm bailing out of my Reaver waay back the other way. I've warped about 30 feet. Wierd. Then I proceed to behind some crates to wait out the hack, because none of the doors will open due to lag. Suddenly I am killed by a friendly Reaver. I'm sitting behind crates in a corner, no Reaver in site, no bullets heard, no missiles. Wtf? Lag sucks, but in smaller base assaults I don't get much of it, I just have to stay away from huge battles. |
