Neh, Playing online doesn't use up data for me.

I was always confused about it.

Cause I remember in MGO2 I had thousands of hours, I'd be playing for 16 to 20 hours straight, and the data would only ever go down by a small amount.

yeah, online gaming don't use that much data

Kinda shocking, I woulda thought it'd use up more than browsing does.

Well, * Browsing videos I mean

nah it mostly just send and receive information about position & actions for the other player

it's really cheap in data

Oh okay, so like a vector number then the game it self works it out?

it's a bit more complicated than just a vector most of the time but yeah

it's more like a matrix of position x, y, z and camera angle

but yeah :)

Well, I guess that makes more sense.

Camera angle?

yup, the direction your player is looking / etc

especially for FPS

Oh yeah. >_< I forgot FPS games were a thing lol

well camera angle / player direction

depending on the game

Though, I guess third person shooters also have that one feature where they show you who killed you through their camera for a few seconds.

plus the different actions, crouching / shooting, etc

oh the killcam require the same informations that it just normally send

position, the looking direction and angle (if you look up or below, etc), and the action you're doing, crouching, walking, running, shooting, etc

that's like few kilo bytes every minutes

How much data does playing online use?

I wanna play MGO with my mcdonalds wifi

Like 2 or 3 mb an hour maybe.

Well, probably a little more, but not too much.

Fuck yes

Time to score some lag kills

@Deleted User You spelled shouldent in rule 6

@Sexy Zombie Roo we are talking about phone data
