I don’t chose to play with 200+ ping when I’m used to 20 when I’m on a EU server, playing with a 200+ ping is just a nightmare.

Most over rated game in the franchise. Biggest possible build up to release for an absolute disaster of an outcome almost a year later. Worst as far as problems on release and also worst as far as developer support. ---

> [@JohnnyIsntDepp](#): > > I ping around 25-28. The highest I’ve seen is still under 200. You’ve seen 500? Wth! > I see 500 all the time, i just got loaded into a match with over 500 ping. Drives me insane. But like 10 seconds after i loaded in my ping went down to 36, so not sure if it was me or someone else who had left right after i loaded in. What’s really confusing about it is this pretty much the only game that does anything like this so I’m not sure if it’s me causing it or just the unfinished game or the pos game servers their usin. ---

blah blah blah, why do you come and cry and hate on a game, because you people are trolls and are liars and are still playing. if you didn’t like the game then why the are you wasting time in the games forum.
