Why when i live in London (Second buggest city group on Elite), Do i always have to play with people from the other side of Europe
depends what time your online at really. whats the problem with playing with different countries though. just mute and carry on playing.
I love playing the French, they get so animated when they are losing. Camp de Merd!!!
To be fair some of the best players I have come across have been Fench.
At least you get to play with real French people.
If you think the French from France is annoying try listening to the hick Quebec sh1t. Their French is to real French what a southern hillbilly's English is to real English.
France is only a stones throw away from London, so you will get lobbies in France.
Anyways you shouldn't worry because at least you get paired with people who are close. I live in Ottawa and get paired with Florida, Mexico, Uk and other parts of southern USA all the time. In terms of distance that would be like you getting paired with people in Poland,Romania
My main problem is the lag from playing with the french their avaerage broadband speed is alot slower than the UK, and especially slower than London.
France isn't really the problem, except they always seem to be the ones with there noob tubes out in Hardcore, its the Spainish, Itailian and Germen who could all be 1000+ miles away.
My question is why does it in match me with people from the Uk or even better London, there are enough players online.
I wonder the same thing too.
45 minutes away is the Capitol with a pop of about 800k. North of me is Montreal, another big city.
If you go south 500km you hit Toronto which has at least 2 million people. Hell, if you go down far enough you'll hit Manhattan with at least 20 million. But this game just ignores all these people and goes straight to the farthest possible places.
You are in Ottawa!?!?!?
I bet we live next door to each other!
I actually live in near Rockland, about 45 mins from Ottawa. I just say I live in Ott because it is the closest biggest city.
I used to live in Orleans (most of my family is still there). My yiounger sister used to live in Rockland.
I now live in the south-west part of the city.
Hey that's funny - two of the names I actually know from these forums live in the same area I do. I've lived all over Ottawa but am now in a small town about 20 minutes west of the city.
theres an unsung rule when it comes to online gaming, a distance of around 1000 miles is considered acceptable between player and server/host as you are still able to get a reasonable game. As such even with a local search your likely to find esp in the uk alot of euros as we are geographically close to them. This is likely to happen alot during certain times due to the pool of players online to fill a lobby
I'm in exactly the same boat. I experience bad games when playing against French people and especially Turkish. I'm in the UK aswel near Cardiff and no matter what time of the day I play, I rarely get put in a UK lobby.
Well...Spain and France aren't really the "other side of Europe" for you lol...
Second, doesnt happen justo to you.
Third, i dont get whats the problem: you want online videogames that put you to play just with people from your hometown i mean...lol... (o i know, maybe youll talk about Lag...)
No we don't want to play with just people in our hometown but when you are in WI and constantly put in rooms in EAU, MEX or South America the lag gets just a tad frustrating.
When I play with people from the east coast or west coast it isn't so bad. hmmmm.... maybe I am on to something? /sarcasm
I don't think IW knows the secret that the rest of the world knows about their optimized local only code....IT DOESN'T WORK!
Ive been thrown into so many Spanish lobbies lately and I don't know why. Last night I actually got one of them to stop screaming into their mic and tell me where they were from, and his entire party was from Brazil. Theres enough people playing in the US, especially on the East Coast that it should be a stretch to pair me with someone from California, never mind another country. Matchmaking is extremely out of whack in this game
You could be playing with people who live in closer to you, but their native tongue is different and they have friends they like to play who have the same native language they do.
I don't like to play against Spanish speaking people because they usually kick butt for some reason. My clan and I were in a lobby once and I heard some guy say "we need to back out we are playing against a clan" The response he got was "we have a mexican on our team. I'm not worried."
Anyway, and a little off topic, you ever notice that some words are the same in every language? I found that out when I got cursed out by someone who sounded Chinese. I guess swear words are the new universal language.
Normally i have to suffer ,French,Spanish,portugal,and a few others across the pond early evening if playing,The Americans and a few Canadians seem to start appearing from 10 pm onwards if i find myself that late, at that point i give up as my bars drop to two,have to change my game play completely to compete if i deceide to stay on and camp it up a bit,
You think being in London you have it bad... try being in Canada and matched with people from France (and no, they were not in Quebec), and anywhere else in the EU for that matter.
I am in Dublin and keep getting thrown into lobbies full of people from the middle east and eastern europe, massive lag fests
