ok so in bf4 if your not aware on console there is not a ping number there is only bars and id like that to change in bf1 but i have a way of fixing the problem of new players thinking higher ping is better. first of all if they try joining a server with over 150 ping give them a notification syaing “you are about to connect to a server with a high ping. the higher your ping is, the worse your connection is to the server are you sure you want to join?” but before they try joining a game they need to know higher ping numbers are bad so this is where color coding comes in say your ping is 50 or below the color of the will be green if your ping is 50 to 100 the color will be yellow and if your ping is 100 or higher it will be red. but then there is the problem of people being color blind and new to the game, so there will be bars next to the ping number but this must accurately represent the ping as well. and there will also be a "hint popup at the screen saying “in order to have the best experience connect to a server with a low ping, the higher you ping number the worse your connection to the server is”. this will improve the experience for players on the console. and will increase longevity for bf1 on consoles as players will not be accusing the game of having bad lag and net code problems when they have a bad connection to the server because there was not enough information available there for them to know they connected to a high ping server. there will also be less hackusations (ive been experiencing more then i usually have on bf4 ever on xbox one) what are your thoughts? what do you think can be improved? ---

I read it, and I agree for the most part. Breaking that up into paragraphs would make it more reader friendly. If you want people to read the whole thing make it more appealing to the eyes. ---

No punctuation marks, no capital letters, no paragraphs… Nobody bothers to read text like that. ---

This has been asked for (on consoles) for YEARS now. I would also like to add (because I didn’t read that wall of text, sorry OP)…: 1. Make the integer and bars color coded just like it is on the battlelog server browser. 2. The server browser needs to be sorted by connection to the server, not by the number of players in it. ---
