Why can't East Coast players play local?

East coast players, when they aren’t on a fireteam together during peak hours get lumped in to West Coast players on their servers at best…and today I’ve been getting matched up with European players on their servers. I had to stop playing because the latency is the worst I’ve seen it. The game feels completely different when I’m matched to people locally vs the way it is most of the time right now. Is the East Coast population really so weak that we’re spread out or are the servers down locally?

East coast players think the pistol has been nerfed. I feel this has had a snowball effect where it’s killed the population in this region.

yep I know how it feels, we need a option for region lock

Pistol is rarely a five shot kill when you are dealing with high latency. You have to lead every shot to hit. This is why some people are inquiring about precision weapons being nerfed and bullet registration issues.

Ive not had this problem yet

I’m in Ohio and notice the same issues. Since the ghosts of meridian update

Im from Minnesota and I get matched up with players all over…and I mean all over… One of the reasons for having dedicated servers with region lock is so the game is more enjoyable/stable. Less latency. That’s the whole point. But now that they took the region lock off it really doesn’t make any sense. Why have dedicated servers at this point when im connecting to people all over the world. It really amazes me they did this… They need to lock things back up until they have a better idea at this point. This is unbelievable to me… =(
