Great to see so many original players returning yesterday, especially from my time zone. (Australia/NZ). Great fund and welcome back.
I vaguely remember the early days when we had Aussie based servers with low latency. These days I never get to play with a ping rating of less than around 230ms. And some players are significantly higher than that. Still seems to work out somehow. It's harder to shoot low ping opponents. But also is harder to get shot. So it seems to even out somewhat. Where it gets difficult is when high pingers are opposing other high pingers. I still have no idea how this works in the software. Whether to lead or lag the target. Generally just seems to be pure chance.
One of my kids, who kicked off this whole BFV online thing for me, has since grown up and joined the military. He mentioned that actual real military exericses are equally irrational and arbitary. As to whose ambush was successful etc. in exercises.
Hope to see you guys on the Hello server in coming months.
Seeing as this game and clan/server has endured so long we are almost morally committed to just keeping it going regardless.
