Forgive my ignorance, but does a high ping player not have to deal with their enemies jumping around as well? I'm pretty tech savy, but am somewhat networking ignorant.
If a ping is how long it takes to send/receive data from the server, would it not work both ways?
@hayhoranything over a 100 is high. I play on EU as well and its only 75ms which is acceptable. Players lets say from brazil trying to ping on US servers run around with over 150ms which is a problem. Also, dont forget there are third party programs that throttle your connection raising your ping just to try to gain an advantage in fights, so yes. Every fps needs to have ping lock with out question. Thats the main reason we need ping lock to combat throttlers, period.
20 years ago Counter-Strike auto kicked high pingers. 15 years ago BF2 had auto kick for high pingers. Modern gaming is sad compared to the kind of net performance you could expect and that was with much less bandwidth all those years ago.
The integrity of the game performance should be something very important to gamers yet it isn't. Discussions like this need to more common. People will use VPN's still to abuse ping and get around region locking so kicking high ping has to be the way to ensure good performing servers.
