Ping never matches up to server

@Benchwarmerbrew The first to blame for high ping are the ISPs usually. It doesn't matter how close you live to the server, as you're not connected in a straight line with it. Your routing can easily go through a different city or even different country and that is your ISP prioritizing other services, mitigating congestions or simply not having access to certain routes (matter of deals, contracts, etc.).

Other games can go fine, though. Why? Because many of them have servers in other locations, use less badwidth, don't require very quick reflexes, use a peer to peer or client autorithative solution, etc.. That's why comparisons don't really make sense.
