Ping Based Matchmaking
Theres needs to be Ping Based Matchmaking. Roughly 5% of the players Ive went against have actually been from Britan & Ireland and the other 95% have been from: Spain, Russia, Japan, Sweden, Germany,...

+60 Ping would be a no go?
I live just outside of Minneapolis MN and my server is Iowa. I have excellent internet service and the best my ping rate is at launch of game is 38, more likely 56. The next region is 60-70. So having a cap at 60 would region lock me. And I would assume it would region lock alot of people.
I stand by what I said earlier, the resources need to be allocated to fix the server issues and hit reg issues,(which I am sure are server related in discrepancies in ping and what not).
These ping rates we go by are what show up on the load in screen, so in game I am going to assume the numbers are worse. Which is why it would be great to have an in game monitor hud display of real time ping. Judging by some of the characteristics of opponents I am going to say I see some serious spikes in ping throughout my games.
IDK about 100ms being sensible; I have 7ms to frankfurt, 100-110ms to USA servers. I get hit through closed doors, lose peeks all the time (sometimes without even seeing people), get rekt by havoc even though I LoS it super fast... if I play on the 7ms servers... the moment I go on 100ms USA servers I am the one who wins the peek, chases down guys and PKs them through the gap as they close the door... or did they close it from their perspective already? 🙂
Low latency should be something you want; even 40-50ms vs 10ms was a huge deal back in the day. If they do a ping cap, then they should also provide EA vpns, to raise your ping to the exact cap, that way at least we can get an even playing field for all.
@notCatnipIve been wrecking alot of players with havocs lately since they made it have a built in turbo and built in extended mag it’s actually better than R-99 sometimes early to mid game when everyones in whites/blues and it also has reduced recoil
It seems everytime I see a player thats really laggy with high ping they always end up as the kill leader in the end because nobody can hit them, there was a really laggy path earlier and I destroyed him with spitfire just because it had so many bullets to keep tracking him and he watched me for 5 mins thinking I was hacking or something but that was a good match for me though I was killing everyone between spitfire and wingman XD i had like 7 kills when I left the mirage boat area as a solo ._. I really wish we would get permanent solos already it seems like the only time I do great is when im alone but sometimes I mess up big time aswell when im alone because I speed around so fast and slide jump right on top of a full team- @notCatnip 7ms.. Lucky ❤️❤️❤️❤️.. haha lowest I can get is 70ms in Singapore..
