DICE Team@N4v1sI can tell you there is a half scoend latency I will feel when my ping is above 115 . I have been to EU servers 2 or 3 times (for daily missions) and the ping there is above 200 to me , at that situation most of my bullet won't count due to packet loss , they are lost forever when shooting out of the barrel .
Back to the topic at hand...
It's getting worse. I've started to notice that multiple hackers with the same clan tags are joining servers and going on opposite teams to ensure both sides get a hammering, plus they're somehow circumventing the stupid anti-profanity filter (which, in case I haven't already mentioned, is stupid and a waste of time).
What's more worrying is how DICE took the time to implement and test a profanity filter, which nobody really wanted, but didn't have the time to implement an anti-cheat such as punkbuster.
Honestly, I've NEVER played a game where the hacking is as bad as it is in this game... Even going back to games I was playing 15 years ago. Yeah sure when I played Swat 4 there were hackers, but there were admins to deal with it, so it was all in hand. In this game, there is NOTHING. They can roam free and do as they please. And EA/DICE banning them (when they get around to it) is hardly a deterrent because they can go straight onto a CD key resell site and buy a key for around $5, if that.
We need dedicated servers back.
Just a reminder to people who may now be looking at this thread as a whine about pings, but I can assure you this is about how poorly EA are looking after the cheating epidemic on the BF servers.
Im pretty sure there is a ping thread somewhere else if others are interested in that.
