Reasoning:

Lag compensation added for teammates to make actions involving interacting with teammates more reliable for the player. Lag compensation window and interp limits reduced to leave less room for unpredictable behavior and exploits and cheats. Networking timeouts reduced to aid in match slot filling after a dropped connection.
