Constantly bad ping

Been playing this game for over 3 years. Main menu i have St Louis servers selected. Says im supposed to get 20-30 ping but yet when im in game im constantly 60-70 ping. The game i just played I asked where they lived and what server they were on and they said Dallas server. Why is this game constantly putting me in a different server? I'm on PC on steam

Im trying different servers and no matter what server i pick, i keep getting 60+ ping. doesnt make sense. youd think id get way worse on some of these

switch to virginia servers even though theyre like 10+ hours away and getting better ping than the servers 2 hours away. makes sense.

  • @NewWorld998 two weeks later and still no response. its embarassing to have one of the largest games worth billions thats been out over 3.5 years have servers that give you 60+ ping. my connection in Halo 2 on the original Xbox wasnt this bad. should be ashamed
  • main menu says i should get 30 ping. every game i get 60+. its not my internet. i get 20 ping all day every day when i play Valorant.

    i switch my server from STL to dallas. 60 ping. virginia. 60 ping. how does a server 2 hours away give me the same ping as a server 10+ hours away? this HAS to be the worst servers ive ever played in my life. im not lagging, but tired of getting shot behind cover or shooting my wingman close range just to have the enemy move last second while my bullet is in mid air
