When I first joined, my ping was like 70 which isn't bad...well then one of the people told me to type /snaps 40 in the console...and then my ping dropped down to 30...what does snaps do, anyone explain that to me?

Snaps controls the number of updates per second which the game server sends to you (the client).

Changing it doesn't affect your real ping time to the server, but may speed up the responsiveness of your client game in relation to the server.

Is 40 a good number to use? Is there a better one to get maximum server response?

whatever sv_fps is, set your snaps value to that or above that.
