Transporter wroteI really hope this wont be the case with BF3, orelse your only hope is to rent a dedi server in a foreign country like Germany or UK.
Unfortunately this is the case, you can't host a ranked bf3 server without becoming an EA certified host dont believe.. search the net, more importantly about the latency this is not true i have invited some players on cod4 server they were playing over 200ms+ (german players) and they were complaining about lag, maybe its a special case.
Note: dont try to compete with eu servers, they are not behind a 2mbps network (until now).
Vice versa, when our internet become better that doesnt mean that we have the opportunity to host more servers , it will facilitate our connectivity to real servers.
Actually i play on wise servers, i dont complain about everything and if you guys could host a bf3 im more than happy, but that doesnt change my intention of opening this topic!
