What sort if latency are most of you seeing?
I disagree Benlav. Same player, same rig, will perform better with a 10ms ping than a 40-50ms ping.
Yeah but for me that isn't an issue. I'm not saying it's not an issue for others, but for me I don't really care about it is what I am saying. For example, if all my mates were playing on Aussie servers, but I got a better connection to an NZ server, I would play the Aussie server because that's where my mates are. So what I am saying is that latency isn't my #1 concern.
Try using pathping also, it will also show where the problem is in the path
What sort if latency are most of you seeing?What server host do you prefer, and why not the others?
It's community.Without the NZ servers, the NZ based players are spread over hundreds of Australian based servers. By having a small handful of servers in New Zealand, we have a focal point. It means NZ based players can benefit from being a small gamer community (by international standards) and really enrich our player experience. You stab a random, meh, you stab a well known player you dip and rub it in. With a strong community, it's almost like a 24/7 LAN. BF2 was exactly that.
Your face won\'t make top four!
