suggestion for ping problems
ok again the problem is that people KNOW about the UK servers but the people that play there (around 30% estimated) are not for anywhere close to the UK (read latin-america, turkey, north African regions)
even a bigger problem is the amount of east Europeans playing on the regular servers making ping problems for east Europe/north american player players with 200+ stable ping
an idea that might fix this is a ping indicator on servers and inside rooms like seen in many other games, colors indicate what the ping means so it is harder to have misunderstandings like people thinking a higher ping is better than a lower one
example:
rookie server 114
alpha server 165
foxtrot server 130
UK server 32
note that i did not include every server
for the problem you might have with players INSIDE a room it would be great to see their pings in the lobby.
again this works the same way indicate the ping with a color, i think this might be a good limit region to switch colors:
green 0 - 80 ping
yellow 80 - 150 ping
orange 150 - 200
red 200 and higher
this would help people chose the right server and wouldalso keep you form ending up with a room full of 200+ pingers

Most of peoples don't know what "ping" is, but except if they are gonna put ping blocker, its fine!

hmm but still i think this might be less than 10 hours of programming for a single person witch could work out to make this game just that little better(every detail counts) -

Yes, it does
Also you forgot some servers like West Coast server :O
Anyway....gweatideaz. -
That would be good, but still some east-asian players might play this EN crossfire and have similar ping in most of the servers, which is bad for sure. Best solution is an autokick from servers that kicks "RED" ping players after a while to make sure that isnt a temporary ping jump.
Just for the records, this version of crossfire will probably not add anything outta the envelope, meaning if this suggestion is not already applied to the other versions of crossfire, it will not be added here. -
not a kick for red pings just show what ping they have with a color that indicatesOmegasigma wrote: »That would be good, but still some east-asian players might play this EN crossfire and have similar ping in most of the servers, which is bad for sure.

indicating someone has a high ping is better than kicking everyone who has a higher ping than a certain limmit, this wil keep people with a ping like 15 to say anything above 20 ping should be banned -

Have you Seen CF? I have seen CS and Half-Life Modders make better weapons, better levels, better player skins and models, and do more bug fixes and glitch fixes and at that FASTER then CF ever has XD
