<div class="IPBDescription">Causing lag</div>I think it would be helpful if people stopped putting up servers on their home internet connections, I think most home connects don't have the bandwidth to handle NS2 in its current form and it just makes for games that are way to laggy..

Since there is no way really to know what servers are properly hosted and what is a home setup it would probably be best if people held off for a while..

    It requires steam to be running so its kind of stupid. If you want to host a dedicated server you can't play on it.
