It’s all about money…the more people that feel they are good at the game the more DLC is bought…so those people that were usually handicapped by their bad connections are now being helped and are able to do very well thus buying more services offered by DICE/EA… ---

He has noticed it…but they probably waited to deal with it. ..by now a lot of these high pingers have bought the DLC or premium. …so if they tweak the lag comp and these high pingers now are at a disadvantage. .it doesn’t matter EA already got their money ---

I’ll bump with a question I just posted. Will South America get their own servers? If not, the lag comp would have to stop rewarding 200+ ms ping and an average net speed of 1mpbs - 500k up. Even if they get their own severs, there needs to be something in place that provides benefit for playing local. Look at Japan. They have servers and yet flock to the east coast US. Balance cannot be left up to players alone. Most will always seek advantage. ---
