Why does counter strike source run smoother than soldat on my computer. I find it strange because, counter strike with all the highest settings then compared to laggy, slow soldat. I don't understand why. Surely soldat the 2d game should run far smoother than counter strike the game which requires the best comps.

because steam pays coders millions of dollars to develop the most efficient netcode possible, and they also have crazy interpolation algorithms to simulate events that are predicted and smooth out gameplay

(moved from Gen. Disc. to Lounge. HELLO JAYBEE!)

steam's pulled out as much net code as possible with this cs. though michal's a GREAT coder, steam has [IMAGE]ing armies of them, and there's updates like, every other week.
it's great how source works on crappy machines too :D

oki, why doesnt everyone share netcode

little soldats = 1 centimeter tall, counter strike: source models = anywhere from 1 inch to 17 inches tall on my wonderful 17 inch LCD screen. 1 centimeter difference doesn't really matter when you're shooting at a 6 inch model.
