BF2S Forums How come there are those high pingers' advantages...

I fucking HATE high pingers. EVERY time they're on my team, EVERY SINGLE TIME, it's a painful round. Especially if they're in my squad. And the worst are the high-ping commanders. Every single commander I run into with a high-ping, usually from the Netherlands (they must hate me or something), is a complete fucking moron. GO PLAY ON SOME SERVERS IN YOUR FUCKING CONTINENT.

Had to vent there. Yes, it seems like high-pingers get a sort of handicap for not being able to shoot shit. This handicap? Not being able to get shot.

for some reasons...the server list on my BF2 only have about 14 servers....each gives me about 200 ping and i always gets the first place... :S

but i always got owned in my local server in the past..

So now people get high pings on purpose to get some imaginary advantage? What's next? "OMG HIGH PING NUB"?

Reality check: not everyone has a super-fast internet connection. Some people can't afford it, in some countries it doesn't fucking EXIST (I'm still waiting for optical internet connection to arrive in my town). I'm happy to play with a ping of 80-90, but usually play with 100-110. That's from northern Italy to german, french or uk servers. So yes, I'm playing in my "fucking continent".
Max ping I can handle is 120-140. Higher than that, I don't even join the server.

To all the high-pingers haters: FIRST try to play with a 3-digit ping, and then talk your bs about who has an advantage. Try to snipe moving targets, TV choppers, knife people and than make a little advantages vs disadvantages comparison.

QFT !

I normally play in AU servers since there aren't many good servers within good ping of Malaysia...I regularly have a ping of 100-150...but I can still snipe people and more often than not ,knife them as well. Oh ,and all your shots (with 3 digit ping) have a sort of "bullet travel time" so it's wise to lead your shots a bit

I hate all kind of ping players. They all own me anyway. So fuck you and play on another server and let me play against newbs!!!!!!

I don't mind people with 120 ping. I'm talking about the guys with 180+, whom always seem to suck at doing anything in the game when they're playing on the same server as I am.

I agree on that. It would be aggravating to play with such a hign ping. But maybe people with pings of 30-40 say the same about people like me.


But probably it's their only option.

When I was on Tiscali, it didn't matter if I was on a UK server or not, I was getting 200 ping. Even though, I would normally do pretty good (top 3), obviously not as good as with 50 ping, but still good. And let me assure you, although I *may* of took twice as many bullets, I needed to give out the same to get a kill.

Speaking from personal experience, I guess some just get used to playing with a high ping. I'm from a small town in the middle of nowhere with the best internet connection that is available to us. If I have a ping under 100 it is a great day, otherwise I've gotten quite used to "Connection Problems", being kicked for high ping, choppy movements, etc, etc.

Go ahead and vent Hurricane but I do disagree with you there. I play on American servers and still get high ping. We bought the game and deserve to play as much as the next guy. There are a pile of servers that kick for high ping, see if you cand find one of them and you won't have this problem.

But yes, I hate high pings.

OMG STOP LAGGING MY FORUM WITH YOUR HIGH PING AND DOUBLE POSTING!!!

There isn't anything wrong with a high ping. If you can't hit the guy who's continually walking into a tree because his screen is lagged to shite, then just go home.

I don't know if this is ping related, but I hate unloading a whole clip into someone at point blank range and them not dying then subsequently killing me after dolphin diving. Doesn't happen often but when it does, it makes me want to yell h4x!
