[Question] Counter Strike Source Server Pings

Seriously, what should a normal acceptable ping be for counter strike servers? Because I get booted from most servers for having a ping of 120+

I'm at college so my ping fluctuates around 150-300 ping, yet I cannot play on a single server without getting booted because of excessive ping. What is a normal ping limit for CS: Source?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I mean, yeah, I can get that kind of ping on LAN, but online? How are they doing this?

How ya doing, buddy?

What the hell then? I'm at a university as well, but my pings don't go below 130. And even that is a generous ping.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually, that's probably why. I think these servers are all obscenely far away (like in foreign countries). That would explain high pings. Thanks.

Anyways, I see that as some kind of "excuse" sometimes.

Maybe, but really, for it to make any difference, you'd have to have a ping of 200+ to make it noticible, and probaly 350+ for it to actually make a difference.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, that may be the case, but I play relatively lag-free with a ping of 150 - 200. Granted, some lag is visible, but not enough to effectively put a dent into gameplay.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
