DICE finally admits and addresses OOR players and high ping advantage

Dice has finally admitted to the high ping abuse that OOR (Out Of Region) players have been exploiting that gives them certain perks over a player with a lower ping. Couple with the low internet speeds (down/up) they are practically gods in CQB situations.
On Reddit, tiggr (a part of DICE) addresses the issue and went on to say they are trying to get the HFB (High Frequency Bubble) to last gen consoles. While this will help it doesnt solve the whole issue with the high ping exploiting. They are also looking
into possible ping caps/limits for the RAS (Rent a Server) programs. I for one am happy they have finally admitted to the major problem of the OOR players joining on servers they shouldnt be on.

With all the griping about lag....

It increases your ping or reply time. By having a higher ping or slower reply time the game introduces less artificial lag to your connection. This is way players with a slower connection has a huge advantage over players with good/great connections.

They are trying to even out the playing field but IMO it the wrong approach.

Am I the only one who gets a disadvantage when I have a high ping?

No, you are not! When I have high ping my game goes downhill even more than usually, and that is very, very bad gaming! I believe I do not have any advantage due high ping.

 

It is really disappointing on how many bugs/issues plague the title still *well, to me at-least*. I know Battlefield 3 had a bad debut as well, but many of the problems I have experienced so far were either non-existent or were
patched quickly when I was playing.

 

Out of region been happening for like since day 1 of online shooters.

 

I've got a horrible ping and so I do horribly in this game. I want my advantage I should get thanks to my ping! :O

 

its not my fault I have a bigger ping than you!! lol

 

Uh oh, lloks like trouble between the two guys with numbers at the end of their GTs

 

I guess I will then have to play in American servers to maximize my ping. Yes, yeees, mwahahahaha! I can already see how I will be dominating everyone with my 600-700 ping and go 40-0 all day every day! MWHAHAHAHA!!!

Or, most likely I will just do even worse and rubberband to no end

 

Yeah, playing OOR will only produce a terribad gaming experience. Id rather play a smooth game and go 20-20 instead of a terrible laggy game and go 40-0, just saying. Join OOR and give it a try yourself. But GRAW was right, OOR, bandwidth-manipulation, lag
switching and the like have been around since online gaming started. Someones always looking for an advantage and/or someones always crying about being at a disadvantage. Nothing new.
