Region lock MP servers!!

Please... Pretty please... With extra sugar on top... Region lock the bloody servers or kick high pinging players!

I cannot stress enough how frustrating it is playing against a whole team of players who are all pinging 300ms+, when I am playing at 50 ms ping. It is not fun trying to shoot players who teleport all over the map!

I am playing in the Oceanic server region, and to be honest, there are more players with ridiculously high latency, than players like me who are local. To give you an idea, a typical Oceanic Australian server I join has at least 12/16 players with 200/300+ ping! I have never in my life even tried to play a game at such ridiculous latency, and if I happen to be one of the 'laggers', I simply leave out of respect.

This is ruining the MP experience for local players!

Sorry, it's the Aussie servers that are problematic. In C2 I've never had a nice game on an Aussie server, cause my ping to it was over 400.
German and UK servers are the best.

German and UK servers are the best for German and UK players..... Of course you will ping 400+ to an AU server, you are from Europe... And judging by the flags I see on peoples player cards, it is the EU players who are lagging on our servers, why? Why do you not join local servers? I though that i was common knowledge that you will ping extremely high to a foreign server..
