    This is really ridiculous, my second server keeps banning half of the online players AT ONCE for "bad connection/hacking" which I know is not the case because it includes my clan members in the bannings a lot of the time.
    Unnamed, the ping kick system is flawed, they have a right to complain.

    To be honest, i don't think the players are the main cause either, if a server lags the netcode probably sees the players as the fault, not the server.

    It is the netcode.
    Because it's so perfect. /s

    I don't feel i'm in a position to even use sarcasm, because i know nothing of what you even need to make netcode. :P

    Honestly if the devs haven't heard about this problem and are at least considering something to alleviate it, i'd be really suprised..

    just the sheer volume of threads on this is extreme.

    Yeah, I've just gotten premium because I want to play zombie mode. I play on an EU (!!!!!!) server, me living in the south of england and I've gotten ping banned too many times to count. It even says that the server connection is 'great'

    I agree completely. I live in NZ and I have superb ping with Australian servers (33-60 for most of the game). I get an occasional ping spike and bam, I'm kicked. I sign in again and then bam, I'm banned. Servers need to lower their threshold for ping bans.

    I don't know if this thread is now outdated but, I've managed to play on a few servers with a ping of about 166-200 and lasted on there for a good 2-3 games before a kick.
