I only use advance search for filter with conquest USA and 5+ slots. I know quick match will throw you anywhere in the world for servers. Maybe others don’t know this. Mainly started to happen with 5.2.2. I don’t remember seeing high pings for 5.2.
Yeah that’s pretty much what I’m thinking - I know the matchmaker got messed up with 5.2.2 so possibly why we’re seeing more high pingers, as people who don’t use the browser are coming in OOR.
Looked through a bunch of his comments, there was nothing there about any definitive advantage, all the advantages he stated are ones already known by most people.
Also a lot of those statements were in regard to extremely high pings which they fixed with a patch, now if your ping is too high you lose that advantage because you get zero lag compensation.
As far as other statements “peakers advantage” is actually universal, yes a lagging player will have an advantage if they round a corner 1st, but that same exact advantage happens if the roles are reversed.
Other “advantages” also have trade offs that are much more negative, like warping around the map…if they get the kill it will look like trash to the other player, and make that player feel like he was done wrong, but the guy who’s warping is probably rubber banding badly and has missed 100 opportunities for kills because his connection just isn’t making it possible to judge anything properly. Also while warping he effectively has zero movement, i can’t count the amount of times i’ve nailed a player running on the spot thinking “it sux to be you”.
Same as anything though players only remember the times things negatively affect themselves and have no idea how badly other peoples games are playing, they can have an advantage for the majority of the game and because they’re doing well they think “i’m good” but when someone shows their disadvantage by killing them in a weird way, then suddenly it becomes a technical problem where the other player had an advantage.
This actually sort of makes me laugh on pc, so many players think they’re crash hot, but on pc there is a LOT of varying factors that goes into how people do in a game and skill actually counts for a lot less than people think.
Overall though, this game has something else going on…i can’t place it, may be the servers,may be some coding issue(intentional or unintentional)…the instant movement and other mechanics makes it worse. But i think the game plays badly for everyone, everyones looking for something to blame and high pingers stand out.
I play in the oceanic servers, we used to only have australian and nz players, rarely you would see a 100+ ping player, somethings happened recently and now about 10-20% of players are 120+ ping players, the game really doesn’t play any different, it’s no more/less glitchy than any other time.
Yeah I agree with most of what you’ve said and I don’t want to argue.Like you, I think this game has something else going on. And while I don’t think there is advantages playing high ping, if there are too many in a server I do experience less than stellar server performance.
My favorite moments are when you are just minding your business and planes are stuttering all over the map. Was hilarious at first but now it’s sad.
One high pinger can ruin a server. From experience, when it’s over 200.
Its outta control like the megathread on enhanced skills. 90% of servers if not more have people playing OOR or have garbage connections ruining the games
I just instant quit a server when I see more than 4 players with ping above 100 on a EU PS4 server, the game just gets unplayable.
How is it even possible that players with ping above 100 can get double the amount of kills of the rest of the scoreboard … how much compensation do they get/how bad is the hit claim confirmation… :s
Such a high ping should be a disadvantage, you should not be rewarded for it.
The high ping problem is exacerbated more in this game due to TTK.
One of the high ping players advantages is a longer time to kill, and in this game that is huge!
Nothing will change and everyone will be saying the exact same thing with battlefield 6.
I would never play if doing the same. Every game has 30% over 100.
Depends on the Region: in EU nobody has to have an above 50ms ping, the infrastructure is high tech, very few hubs and distances are short.
On US servers 100ms ping is not that strange: old network, lots of hubs and very long distances to servers.
It is kind of sad for US players that are close to a server location or that life in a city.
Also the reason why I am a big fan of ping based matchmaking like the new CoD does.
Or just servers with ping limits.
Its even worse then this video now since after XMAS. My video was captured December 20,2019. Enemy team has over 12 over 100. One is 302 and another at 207. My team has 7 players over 100. I know mine is wifi and peaked at 71 where usually at 59.

I’m in the uk with 110mbps connection and have experienced 100 ping while using the eu German servers. Normally my ping is around 20 but sometimes it does go high for no reason.
Capturing videos on XBOX1 bumps my ping a tad. Since it uploads the video to XBOX LIVE and the cloud.
Just had a guy 600 ping playing with us and gone before you can shoot and hitting you well after you’re in cover. Seemed selective when he would lag. What hot mess they’vce left us with.
Early mornings I use Euro servers on PS4 my ping is 102. I would’t play with anything higher. I do this simply because my local servers are underpopulated and dying at this time of day. The same may be true for Euro gamers looking for full servers when their region is dying off. Hopefully cross platform BF6 will solve this issue. I agree really high pingers makes for a bad experience.
Absolutely and if this is a thing in BF6 because they don’t increase their servers in certain regions and/or ipgrade server quality then that’s going to be a big problem
