    EDIT:Look's like the server browsing is showing ping's wrong, for me the server's are showing 200-700 ping but i joined a server with 712 ping and i get 133 ping at cap's with no lag at all.

    Wen i click the server browser i dont see alot of server's like before and some server's has 200-500-800 ping and some has 100+ ping, i know it is not my internet connection because it is fine and running normal, before the server's were like 100-200 maybe 300 ping but they were not like this high before. This is maybe an issue or not, I will try again tomarrow.

    Ping is affected by where you live, and where the server is physically located.

    ping is affected by where you live and the quality of your internet. also could be aftected by how many people are using your internet at a given time

    I found out what is wrong, In the server browser the server's say 200-700 ping but really wen i enter the server i get 133 ping at cap's with no lag at all, I am pretty sure the server browser need's fixing.
    i joined a server with 507 ping and ingame i was getting 233-266 ping.
    I am in indiana.
     
  8. Ping is affected also by your Internet and your connection were it is it happens to me as well it's annoying

    i know it is affected by my internet and i found what was wrong with it, it's a bug with the server browser that is showing me false ping.

    Yup, that's server browser bug. Just don't mind the pings shown in the browser.

    Pings in the server browser are an indication.
