Alpha/Bravo/ Servers

Why do I see so many BRs playing on these servers? Aren't the US South Servers much closer?

  • Simply because they don't understand the idea of pings. They don't realize that the father away they are from the server, the higher ping they get. Those that do understand this fact do play on the Southern Servers. They just want to play where the most people are. It is pretty funny but, if you go to the southern servers, you actually have less chance of finding laggers, even though BRs kick a lot more.

    Note, this is not limited to the BRs. I've seen Greeks, Germans, and Turks on the main NA servers.

    I wish someone would let the majority of them know this somehow, I have no problem with BRs but the really high pings they get can be annoying.

    And I dislike getting kicked because I'm not a lagger and I play on a server that's close to me.
  • Well.. Br's didnt get it when they played Combat Arms.. They didn't get it when they played Battlefield beta... They ain't gonna get it now either...

    I wouldn't know. And the last forward slash was unintentional. :(

    I was asking why the majority don't play in a server that's closer to them, I'm not saying that they shouldn't play on Alpha/Bravo or whatever.

    And obviously if the majority of your clan plays in a certain server you'll be obligated to play in it as well.
