It looks like Quake and Battlefield had a love child
I played a bit of the game just before it hit 1.0 and lag is noticeable enough for me to make it fairly unenjoyable. Ping currently ranges from 120 to a little over 200.
We need local server especially for a fast paced game like this with mostly projectile weapons that require timing.
Brings back good memories, but I'll only get this if there are local servers

I average 200ms pings and the game is playable and fairly enjoyable but as you start facing better players and start using certain weapons the marginal lag really becomes noticeable. Still it's fun to mess around on until we hopefully get some local servers.

I'm sure that in time they'll let people host their own servers. They probably just want to keep a leash on it so they can find and iron out any major bugs. At least I hope so
Enjoying it alot. Yeah, some local servers would really help alot.

The 1.0 patch has made massive improvements to latency management. The game is actually quite playable now with a sub 200 ping.
Just waiting on my new graphics card before I properly sink my teeth into it, my 5770 can barely break 30fps at 1080p.
Here's a performance breakdown for very high settings performance on various GPU's.

Guys I've been chasing this up with Hi Rez and despite having offered them Dedicated Hardware, Network Connectivty and Full Access to the servers themselves for monitoring and management I've gotten this as a response
"Hello Johnathan,
All servers will be owned by Hi-Rez Studios, but players will have the option to rent custom servers that they can then use with customized rule sets.
They will also be able to make the server private so that only the players they want to join will be able to.
Thank you,

Do the customization options include geographical location?
They kinda missing the whole point, there is currently no server in SA to rent...
Any news on a ZA server?
