Their will always be lag until we have dedicated servers.

I play with a team scattered across the UK and the US. The US players have no worse connections that the UK players. Often we are all green barring. I am more and more convinced that it is connection stability, packet loss etc that a red bad indicates, not distance, or ping.

You realize when you guys make 6 man teams it's up to you to check where everyone lives and what kind of connection speed they have and what kind of latency they have. You don't want people on satellite. You don't want people from other countries and you don't want low-bandwidth players. Once you do all that there is still an element of luck with what the other side will bring. If you assemble a team and everyone lives within a thousand miles of you that should be about as good as you're going to get. Earlier tonight we even had a couple of guys from the East Coast and it played okay. Most of us are in Oregon and California. There was some lag in some situations but it wasn't horrible. Sbmm on the other hand was a disaster
