but then again, they can probably program SC2 to have good security, and make it so there is an option on whether to play with LAN latency or not. | ||

Seriously, this seems like the exact same net code for war3 and it needs to be addressed. I do not have beta and therefore i cannot express how unnecessary the netcode for 56k users is. People need to shove this down Blizzard's throat otherwise they will not address it. Ever. | ||

No offense, but what you're saying doesn't remotely make any sense. The only thing the latency setting changes is how fast you send command packets. At one setting, it might be every 16 frames. At a lower setting, it might be every 8. At an even lower setting, such as lan latency, it might be every 2. Thats the *only* difference. This has zero security ramifications. | ||

edit: I can't really test it to give you numbers though, because I can't launch anything else than SC2 without having a crazy fps drop... so I'm afraid the measure wouldn't be accurate anyways. | ||

The games ran at much higher than 30 FPS but I had no consistent way of recording them higher so for the purposes of testing I couldn't tell. | ||

I would say 500ms delay on all movements, after playing HoN it really sucks. | ||

My tests are only accurate to around ~50ms, so after rounding they look closer than they probably are in reality, however it does seem to suggest they are all using the same net code. It is not just 'really hard' to map hack HoN. In all Blizzard RTS games, the information for all players is sent to all other players and it is up to the clients to hide it. In HoN, the server maintains the state and only sends the players what they need. Hacking at that level is roughly equivalent to giving yourself infinite gold in WoW. While technically possible, it is unfair to compare it to map hacking in BW or War3 for example. I can say with great confidence that you will never be able to download a working map hack in HoN for example. You can probably already download one for SC2. | ||
