@BHLaziodon't get your hopes up for high ping restrictions as no previous Battlefield title has had them nor have they had region restrictions. The Community servers using Procon/rcon would use plugins to have ping limits or limit regions but the base game never had them.
You may have to settle for manually removing people you consider to have a high ping in your own Portal server.
Uuuh @ragnarok013 thx for the info,
Though that are not comforting news then if EA do not enable this for all in the Portal?
Kicking players off for 'having a high ping' should ideally not be left up to arbitrary ruling by individual admins to decide on a whim. It should be based on clear player performance data and visible set of server rules, that are therefor equally applied across all players coming to play on a given server.
We had previously visible ping on each player on a server.
Trust that we at least will get that much then please?
@CyberDyme I'm speculating here, but i *really* doubt we won't be able to see pings.
It's useful for people to find out if they've been shunted to a server "too far" away as much as it's useful to find out if someone you play with has a high ping.
I've been dropped into quickplay servers a few times where i've noticed lag and seen my own ping is 120+ and left for my own sake as much as anyone else's.

I would not expect a solution put in place that will effectively deal with hardware cheating. It is a relatively new form of cheating and I imagine harder to detect than software cheats. Dice Sweden are already in catch up mode in that regard.

You have maybe been able to look up and see your own personal connectivity specs to a given server. But aka on the consoles we have had zero access to see the ping of other players in the game.
And many other players do unfortunately not have the same level of curtesy as you describe here. On the contrary, they even on purpose seek to connect with servers far out of their own region, to benefit from their extreme pings. So on consoles we see frequently players with pings above the 200 milli seconds mark. Even up to 800-1,400 is not uncommon. Needless to say that they bring the server and the gameplay to it's knees...
- @CyberDyme Ah, fair enough, i'm on PC so that's always been a given, but if it's not in the console versions then i get the request 🙂
