	V3 does a better job of handling network traffic to and from players. Many messages have been reduced in size. Server side handling of some events, (like flag grabs) have actually removed some messages from the network stream. Network performance should be similar to V2.x. In some cases, lag compensation may even improve apparent performance.		V3 does a better job of handling network traffic to and from players. Many messages have been reduced in size.
