ET - pings?

Hello,
It's just a question out of curiosity since I spotted that it's very different in other games.
Anyone knows how are pings calculated in ET?

So why is it, that people's ping is mostly shown as the same, even with different traceroutes?

Because there is like 80% people with 48 ping, 10% with 98ping and the rest is a mix of 27,57,67-69,78 which I rarely to be seen anyway. Because on certain Chilean/NA servers my ping was shown for example +20(point numbers) than it was in reality, so I just wonder what does create those numbers :D

I've never said it does, just asked WHY it shows that.

It's engine related afaik. Other idtech3 games work similarly.

Scoreboard doesn't show realping, never did. Easily noticable via lagometer.

ping = (real_ping <= 48) ? 48 : 98
