Battlefield 6 is facing a new problem, one that stems from a lack of a server browser, falling player numbers, and some bizarre administrative decisions from EA. High ping players are more apparent than ever. In a game that has very low time-to-kill and net code issues as it is, some players are getting very frustrated that there is seemingly no way of handling the issue.
In past Battlefield titles, server admins would simply ban players that had a high ping in an attempt to keep the playing field as level as possible. With no server browser and therefore no server admins, this is no longer an option.
I've noticed an uptick of high ping players in my matches recently, even during peak European times in the evening. These pings range from 150 to 200+ and often lead to some very frustrating deaths. Sometimes it feels like you die instantly in Battlefield 6 as it is. Add in this ping discrepancy and it feels terrible.
In a post shared to reddit, u/Ill-Ad9743 shared a screenshot of a match with a high number of high ping players.
I haven't come across any servers that are quite this...
