Again if there is not any MY/SG/TH servers , I wouldn't want to play. I dont want to play HK or CN servers because people hardly speak english. Communicating through Mandarin may suck for me and on top of that I dont know how to speak Cantonese. So its a no go for me.
How many times it has been said. Latency != Speed. I can give you an example , 3G Wireless Broadband. Sure you can get 5Mbps download , but the minimum latency to a TF2 server is around 90ms , oh there are packet losses too. Anyway , the AAG should reduce the latency , (Asian-American gateway). Direct link from asia to US , instead of going through Europe/Africa.
Playing with Europeans may be fun , but then you've a language barrier. I dont mind playing with them , but trust me . Some of them dont know a word of english , nor understand the command of "fall back and back me up". Unless its a UK server , then its another issue. Oh did I say , that they do kick non-European IPs , some servers to do that. In other words , a lot of complexity.
I wanted to buy red Orchestra too , a good game indeed but then there weren't any local players. If it had SP , I might buy it for SP , sadly it only has MP
gogo2 , well said.
why most of the games so many us player. i rarely see any sg or malaysian players around excecpt for certain games like tf2. i will pass the dod offer since there are lack of asian player playing
