Bare with me now... Ping Caps.

LowLifeNerdz

I've recently gotten back into playing Crossfire US after my annual yearly breaks and i've noticied the hacker rates per games have dropped (Extremley Happy) however it seems that I could never do damage to one of the laggers with 230+ ping. We have all exerpeicned this, you pump an entire belt/mag (100) of an m60 into a 300 ping lagger (br) and suddenly, You're Dead! when you check how much damage you did you see, nothing!

Now bare with me now, what if.. and if Crossfire's staff initiated a way to impliment a ping cap system e,g
Alpha Server ping 0 - 150
Bravo Server ping 150 - 200
Charlie Server ping/Delta/Uk server etc (Local) ping 200+

Clearly I haven't been back in several months so forgive me if any updates prohibit this idea however provide some feedback so the mods can take notice.

I highly doubt that ping caps will ever be implemented.

I'm against it for a simple reason: some friends are from the US, if I want to play with 'em I gotta go to alpha. If your idea would be implemented I couldn't join them as my ping on alpha is 154.

There are tons of suggestions like this already, yes everyone wants it, no CF doesn't have the ability to do this right now unfortunately.

Plus that BRs won't be able to join alpha, which is a tragedy

US west is where everyone has 50-0 ping or 200+
Yeah man i agree and honestly I think the developers should put some time into trying this if they haven't already

The problem is each server has different ping for different people. I think each server should max out at 150 ping, and if you're higher than that, then there's an international server which has no ping limit.

It could be like counter strike with a ping cap of something like 200 in certain servers

People that live in those areas but have abnormally high pings can't play/play with their friends.

Let's use FrozenSyther of the forums as an example. He gets 170~ ping in Alpha, yet lives in Texas. He'd be forced to confine himself in US South, and would not be able to play in any other server.

Which is the way it should be in my opinion.

We get mad at the Brazilians for not playing in their servers, but it's perfectly fine for someone that lives in texas to play in alpha or west coast?

That is called hypocrisy, and alludes to racism.
