In this video you will learn about basic computer networking, update rates, tick rates and a lot more which affects your online experience. I also tell you the reason behind "super bullets"!.

This video is an extended version of the "networking basics" that I used to include in my Netcode Analysis videos. Due to popular demand, I will no longer include this in the netcode analysis videos, instead I will only link to it, which will significantly shorten the netcode analysis videos.

Many of you asked for the name of the outro song. Sadly I have to tell you that it is not a "song". It is a custom made music to be used for intros/outros that I bought a while ago.
