Stupid servers

Code-400 · 2017-10-01 22:48:29 UTC

Why am i always put on damn servers that always give me 80+ ping? no cant put me on a chicago server so i have 20-30 no no gotta put me on CA servers or Washington servers where 2 people have 20 ping and everyone else 80+. This is ridiculous and makes the game unplayable for some mercs, like aimee, vassili, and phantom (melee is complete garbo and never connects) Like is anyone else getting this issue??

i thought sniping is way easier in 100+ ping
also, use the server browser and put chicago on the server filter

you dont get to play objective tho from the server browser, only stopwatch

@GatoCommodore Wat? you cant play objective? thats stupid. also sniping at 100+ is meh, for some mercs you snipe at its easier (i find hitting jav, aimee, stoker, and skyhammer are easier to hit, but not the others, ESPECIALLY rhino he has no head hitbox at 100+)

Stop playing sniper.
Problem solved.

Seriously though, 80 ping is fine for pretty much everything, even most sniping. If you really want to be MLG with 0 ping, just use the server browser.

his head hitbox is as big as skyhammer’s body
his body hitbox is as big as EV

Lol at saying sniping doesn’t work on 80+ ping when everything is client side. I’ve popped off in EU pugs on 400 ping.

If that’s true lag compensation needs to be adjusted lol.

On some servers I have reload and other animation/sync issues with 100 ping. Very likely a routing issue on my end but some servers within the same region seem much better than others.
