I also thing it's prudent to say that this video had been discussed already on this board, when the video was uploaded. Fixed latency is something you can get used too, you wont be effected by it unless your latency is higher than the fixed latency (ie connecting from kr to us). Honestly everyone is effected by the delay the same.

Have you tried playing single player? The difference is extremely significant and just "getting used to it" isn't an argument to justify the ridiculous delay. It limits the capabilities and possibilities of players, but since no one has ever tried playing without lag we don't even know what it feels like. Imagine if all of your force fields arrived 0.4 seconds earlier. It does make a difference. Hopefully when LAN comes people will start noticing the difference.

A lot of people are having this problem in the U.S and Canada. Just read battle.net forums and people were pretty pissed of about this too.. I don't think everybody has this problem since microing is pretty much impossible with the delay, so how the good players micro then with a 0,5 sec delay if they too have it? I hope it gets fixed since the difference is so big if you compare multiplayer and single player. You don't notice the difference in many games if you compare single player and multiplayer so I think it's pretty big in sc2. I hope it gets fixed since this is really affecting my play and everytime I play single player and go to multiplayer the delay just feels terrible. Hope they fix it or something, or may I'll just get used to it.

It is just a case of getting used to it. Everyone has it I guess so everybody's on an equal footing and no one has the advantage, it just may feel a little sluggish.

There two diffrent engines so you cant compare them right. The response times are so minor that they dont make that big of a diffrence. If you cant see the diffrence in real time theres no worries

It's important to make sure you're using UDP, any hint of TCP and latency will go out the window.

Thank you, will try it. It may be a matter of just getting used to, but I haven't ever noticed such a difference in single- and multiplayer. Slight delay is understandable but I it just feels sluggish when you can clearly notice a 0,5 second delay when you are just switching the rally point at your command center to a different location. Playing sc2 feels like playing HoN with a 200 ms latency. It's playable but it just feels annoying

Settings play a huge part. If I max everything out the delay gets ridiculously high and units take a long time to respond. When I have everything on low the delay isn't noticeable except sometimes when it spikes. I don't have a bad computer or anything either, 3.2 ghz quad core, 4gb ram, ati 5870.
