I’ve been playing Battefield 2 online since beginning of this year, sometimes burning a few hundred megs of my cap each evening, running on SAIX Gaming Servers. Even on my 384 kb line through Cybersmart, I get decent pings like 60/70ms.
WebAfrica has announced that they will be launching their own free gaming service, which offers it’s ADSL clients to the “FreeZone” to game online. This service will not affect ADSL clients of WebAfrica‘s monthly cap, thus saving dedicated gamers a lot of bandwidth a month to spend on other internet activity.
I think the fact that if your a client of WebAfrica and get the ‘bandwidth’ free to play online, is a great marketing weapon, which could help them launch with a large user base when they launch on the 10th of December.
