What is the best server hosting?

Dallas.

I'm west coast. Been playing with 90+ ping forever. To me it's never really mattered where the server is or who hosts it. Every server has basically been the same unless there's a noticeable amount of lag or ping inconsistency. Stop crying and just play.

Not to argue or anything, but that's just simply not true. There was a very distinct difference between scorch's SoCal server and all the Chicago/New York 12man servers everyone uses. I'm not complaining--just saying there's a difference.

I don't understand how you can ping more to Chicago than to NY when Chicago is literally ON THE WAY TO NY

Chicago typically has TERRIBLE routing to and from that location...I'd rather play with brazillian ping rather than play on a chicago

People are just bitchy ****, and dod is a game where even if your crosshair is on someone and you're stopped you can still miss because the guns have some stupid cone of fire nonsense instead of being accurate on the first shot.

This is the main reason people complain about reg imo. It's not the server, but the game itself. I'll admit, though, servers have a part in it. Perfect example of a server with bad reg (although extreme) is FURY primary server. Not bashing the server though, the mods are awesome.

For the past 10 years Chicago has been hell to play on from socal. There's been a very clear distinction between the way the game feels on Dallas servers and Chicago servers. Apparently NFO has solved that, because the v! server we played on last season seemed fine even with 85-90 ping. So, get an NFO. They're like 35$ per season, and you all can suck it up and play half/half on our socal and your chicago if you want to have a Chicago server.

I'd much prefer having a Dallas server, but until other teams start getting Dallas servers, I don't really want to be forced to play on a tin can chicago server for an entire match like we did multiple times last season.

playing on a chicago and playing on a socal is not even the same thing at all. You west coasters would have a rightful complaint if we were all playing on a New York, but we aren't. Your response should have been to buy a denver or dallas, no one is going to play on that server, and the ping imbalance rule will probably come into effect.

You all get about the same ping to socal that we do to chicago, even though you're in NY, because guess what, we ping 80-90 in chicago and 85-95 in NY. Is that 5ms what you're going to hang your hat on here?

Because guess what, we had a Dallas server last season and we got **** by being forced to play on some tin can chicago server when everyone in the server except 3 players pinged better to our dallas server. But hey, they were under the 40ms rule. So, we'll see if you all get to invoke the ping imbalance rule without cheesing your rates (which I have no doubt 50% of teams will try because they're **** crybaby kids who need to pingrape to try to get a win in a dead game). We COULD all play on Dallas, but that apparently doesn't make sense to you all, so good luck. Maybe we switch to a San Jose server so our ping goes up by 10 and slides us under that +40ms rule. Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it?

I think the more pressing concern is why you feel it necessary to crouch in random corners when you go negative regardless of how you play.

Get a Dallas. East coast complains about SoCal. West complains about NY/Chi. Canadians can move in with me if they want to have better ping (unless you're ugly in which case I have plenty of paper bags). Brazilians can go **** themselves. Euros... guten tag, Fräulein.
