Hey all,
I’ve been enjoying the gameplay of the beta so far.
That said I’ve noticed the vast majority of the games I’ve played on the ping is less then desirable (80-100ms). Being that this game is an FPS the lower our ping is the better chance we have to kill our opponent.
The past 8 games I’ve joined my pings have been close to dial up:
82ms
97ms
97ms
72ms
50ms
85ms
82ms
82ms
With good dialup (56K) back in the day you could actually get 97 ms (milliseconds)
I think I’ve only had 3-4 games in total since I got into the beta which were 50 ms and none that were lower. I realize 50 ms on a console is likely the lowest we’ll ever see, that said we really need to be able to filter the servers over a certain ping. I find 70 ms pretty good but as soon as I get to 80-100 ms I can’t finish my kills, I’m the assist king on these servers.
Since this game encourages cross-play can we please get filter for latency under the server options? I know there will probably more (peer) servers at launch which will help alleviate the higher pinging servers but we know that will likely dissipate after launch.
Thanks still for putting a solid beta together though and still looking forward to the final release.
