I'm not impressed by this. So it turns out (so far) that this is just a marketing ploy?
I can't consider participating in this, after seeing the massive green blob on that radar. MA has hyped the community up so much about this that we are getting hundreds of people in the same location, and it is CLEARLY showing that MA was full of sh!t about this 'tax' of theirs to 'help improve lag'...
Not to mention that their servers are STILL acting as badly as they did months ago.
MA, put an event together.. AFTER you get your net code updated (and servers too!) so that you CAN hold an event without people feeling like they are playing a game in reverse, thanks to the rubberbanding!
Other than that, I do find this 'event' intriguing, but MA, as usual, isn't prepared on their side for the effects of it.
