This is a good idea, but it has flaws. Many countries don’t have local servers, e.g. Middle eastern countries. Why would you support taking their right to play on any server? This issue could be easily resolved if DICE added servers for them, but seeing how EA doesn’t want to loose money, it most likely won’t happen. ---

They should have done that long ago. With that said; there are apps that you can use to run with your server that will do ping limiting. ---

I think the lowest should be 150 ping. As I know quite a lot of people on the westcoast tend to get pings on servers between 50-125(most of the servers I have on my list are usually 75+). Usually depending on their location. ---

The game is unplayable right now because of high pingers ---

My guess is the number of people playing in the “we don’t have any server” locations is pretty limited. And they don’t need to add servers in their area… they just need to set some of the servers in the US/EU to allow for higher pings. Some people in the US and EU don’t have very good connections either so it would be good for them as well. I have 100ms(max it is lower to most places) ping to everywhere in the continental US… I shouldn’t be forced to deal with people from a different hemisphere. “oh you just don’t want to play with people from other countries” or “You are racist”… Nope. I really enjoy MMOs and getting to play with people from all over the world. In MMOs a few people running around with high pings only really bothers them. This isn’t RTS or MMO. This is an FPS and a small change in ping can have a huge effect. ---

You two either did not watch the video/read the proposal or you did not understand the purpose of the feature. 😉 So let me explain it again. It is already possible to kick High Ping players from the (PC) server. By using ProCon. But if you have a bad ping, you don’t know if a server is running this because it is not exposed in the serverbrowser. So you end up joining servers that will kick you. That is bad for the player. If you want to play on a server that runs ProCon to kick HighPing players, you need to rely on the server admin to put something meaningful in the servername so you can find it. And even if you find one, there is no guarantee that the server is actually kicking for high pings. Either the server was updated with a new BF4 version and that broke the HighPingKick, or the admin just did not configured it correctly, or only put something in the servername to get more players on it. inbuilt HighPingKicker - not available for “official” servers - only be available for ranked and unranked servers, “off” per default\* (admin has to enable it if he wants to use it)\* - available for consoles _(rent a server)_ - filter options for HighPIngKick servers in the server browser **Have a bad ping and only want to get servers in the serverbrowser for your search which do NOT kick for high ping?** No problem, just “x” exclude these in the filter. **Have a low ping and only want to have servers show up in the serverbrowser that run the HighPIngKicker?** No problem, just enable the box in the filter. This is much better usability than what we have right now. For high ping players, for low ping players, for admins and players on consoles _(who don’t have any way to kick high ping players at the moment)_. ---

I’ve noticed over the past couple of years that 130 ms seems to be the sweet spot for a lot of players who look for servers which give them this. It doesn’t disrupt there own lag very much while simultaneously giving them a big enough advantage in one on one gunfights. Anything over 200 ms I believe the player was either uninformed on how to choose a server or simply couldn’t find any with lower values. In any case the high pingers usually did more to harm my enjoyment from the game than any netcode issues. I said “usually” lol. I truly believe what was outlined here and in the battle(non)sense video is very well thought out and greatly appreciated for bringing this topic to the forefront again. ---
