Default Dial up Gaming, One Big -.-

-.-
Not really, ive actually had a decent experiance.
Since its all i can get out here in the middle of no where, i thought id make the best of it. Got myself an external hardware controlled modem, done tons of modem tweaks and whatnot. Got my download speed at about 6kb +/- (Good for dial up is any of you have ever had to experiance it) and my ping is about 160 + server lag. All games run fine, except shooters, which happen to be my favorite. There playable by all means, but the accuracy just isnt there. Call of duty 2 anti lag feature is great though, i can actually play it and do good. Today, this server was running good for me, won 4 games in a row (8 player DM up to 50, i got to 50 and second place was at about 30!) CS 1.6, is a different story, i can only get about 1/8 kills i attempt. RTS's run great, since split second accuracy is not a detail.

Anyone else here got any dial up gaming experiance? any tips?

Also, im looking for a good game that is fun to play online, and doesnt require insane split second accuracy.
