Interesting. Say what you want about Call of Duty, but they do matchmaking based on ms. ---

You can’t really compare cad because it has 12 players and bf has 64, no region lock required just a ping lock as this will kill two birds with one stone ---

TBH 300ms is unacceptable, even 150ms is pushing the boundaries of what’s ‘acceptable’ ---

I think the reason when you check in game your ping comes back 100-110 ms is due to compensation meaning it automatically becomes set to this to compensate for the players with higher latency regardless of your ping being 20-40ms not a 100% sure though , maybe someone with a better understanding could explain (where’s forkless when you need him)? ---

forkless where are U We need you @stanbury24 well for what I have seen all my friends when they make the server stability test we all got the same result… Even ppl that I dont know post here the same result so …something fishy about this is going on I do believe that consoles have by default higher pings than pc s, but I m no PC\hardware wiz… But what I mentioned above is true how ppl with different connections even from different countries can get the same result??? ---

@UpUrmammasarse; I’ve played games where it has ran almost flawlessly then next game (same server) new players have joined and it has ran like shit it’s hard to explain ..it doesn’t lag or band but the framerate seems off or the graphical quality if you know what I mean ,it just becomes a mess! ---

According to the #1 troll on this forum, you are all just bad players making excuses. Just had to share. It’s beyond funny. Thank God for all the ‘bad’ players within the CTE community. I hope this ping limit comes and fast.

He is truly skilled. ---

I agree with you. They need to have a massive overhaul of this out of region issue before I give them another dollar. ---

Add ping lock, no need for lag compensation in server matches where everyone pings under 100ms, and the we don’t need to worry about region lock and OOR. Take this crap out DICE, and let us play with those who have comparable internet speed. ---
