I reside in Vancouver, BC. When I hear people on the mic speaking French, or with QC_RandomNameHere, and my bars are listed as 2/4 for latency, my inner FPS multiplayer heart breaks in half.

(For anyone who doesn't understand what I was implying with that statement. I live in Vancouver, which is way on the west coast, and I'm being paired under the matchmaking system with people who live in Toronto/Quebec/New York. Over 5 Thousand miles away, which is.... unnecessary.

I should be limited to PST/Central matchmaking. In every single CoD iteration, I never heard anything but Californians and Vancouverites, also Texans.

This is imperative, in fact you coders/developers/patch makers....whatever, shouldn't be able to sleep at night until this is addressed.

I fully agree. I must be able to communicate with my party to some degree and help keep connectivity latency issues to a min.

Also agree, although your situation doesn't sound half as bad as people in UK hearing Australian accents, and us Aussies getting Americans

I fully agree matchmaking needs an improvement.

No... Don't think it has to do with that. Although Canadian French gives me blistering headaches. Now... If it was REAL French from Paris or something wouldn't be much of an issue.

Though regional matchmaking is needed. It's like you, an English speaking dude playing with either Spanish, Italian or... Norwegian dudes. You want to be able to understand your mates... Not get confused, ask them to speak English and they bash you for it.

Agree

I totally agree. I live in the Middle east and I ALWAYS get thrown into american lobbies, I gave up I can't go past level 12 from all the lag.

Exactly. When your thrown in with other gamers in different regions it can cause a lot of lag.

Most noticeable would be those in North America/Canada connecting with those in Mexico. Now THAT is some MAJOR LAG!

I was in a game with with some folks from Russia on the Demo... A lot of lag. Same with a few from Slovakia.

Bump. Still being matched with people 5 thousand miles away.

My concern isn't the language being spoken, it's exactly what you're stating. People seem to confuse their 2 bar latency with issues concerning their own ISP/connection. It's not, it's the simple fact that people are being paired with hosts that are 5 thousand miles away. - Nobody else doesn't see how retarded this very fact is?

Quite simply, to fix this, we should be limited to being matched with people in regions. IE. People on the Pacific time zone, are only matched with people in the Western part/Central part of North America. I don't understand why this wasn't implemented from day 1.

Please fix this **** asap.

Matchmaking and team balance!!!

Bump.

i rarely come across anything else than germans. damn germans lol

Do we know any other games that have had such a feature (region locking/local matchmaking) added by way of a downloadable patch?

Hopefully it is something they can add in this way, it would fix the majority of the major concerns with the game: lag/hit detection/inconsistant killcams

I would prefer the game takes a little longer to find a local match than just throwing me in the first one available. I'll help keep this thread bumped becasue its the only thing I want changed in the game and would make the biggest improvement for the least effort by the developers

bump for relevance

Bump.

Bump for balance and matchmaking

I live in Canada, matched with NOR, SWE, MEX and PHILIPINES.

Bump.

It could be that there are not a whole lot of people playing the game as of right now. It would of been so much easier if they had dedicated servers for consoles. Granted it takes a bit more effort from the Dev's, but is worth it in the long run.

the nr 1 priority is to make this god damn game compatible with the TRITTON AX GOD DAMN PROS!!!

I fully agree with this. Not so much for the people that I play with, or communication, but the fact that the P2P is garbage on this game, so I want to be able to connect with people close by, so I stand a chance.

agree!

Hello. Is there a way for this game to match me up with people from other countries? I'm asking because I have to wait like 20 minutes for someone to joing and thats just bs. Can anyone help me?

Currently, no. That is not a feature, its also a problem many people have raised to Crytek. With any luck, the featue will be in an upcoming patch.
