The only ping kicker that exists on the console versions of the Battlefield games is a latency check when starting up the game that will prevent anyone using a connection that has an extremely high ping time from even getting online in this game. Those affected by this are very likely living in rural or remote areas and are stuck with either dial-up(extremely low bandwidth and unstable) or a satellite connection(ping times of at least 800ms at best, usually over a second, low, variable bandwidth, and very strict data caps) as those two types of connections are going to give players a nightmare experience.

That said, nothing is going to prevent people from deciding to play out of their server region as those players have the right to play with their friends no matter where they may be located and some of those people have no servers in their region. Even if every region on earth gets their own servers, there will still be some players playing out of region so they can play with their international friends until the day that internet connections can defy everything about physics as we currently know.

I appreciate people are playing with friends across the world. However I never came across , South Americans, Africans or Middle East players on 45/60Hz servers. I don’t mind East US players in EU servers, they have very good connection and lag wise its very minimal, however Mexicans, Canadians and other countries that fall under East Coast have terrible connection in comparison. Its all fine until starts abusing their lag advantage and play OOR on purpose - Japanese and Brazilians to be specific. So something has to be done asap.
