there should be a regional search

there are many times where automatch has connected me to players from all the way around the other side of the globe. the result from this is massive lag, most of the time my teammates get dropped because of the poor connection from the other player.

every time there is a laggy game i check the enemy's profile to found out they're usually from china.

if relic is going to keep using the p2p system at least make it regional or give us an option to make it regional so there would be less frustrations.

That would be awesome IF we had a bigger player base. Unfortunately, the numbers are dwindling instead of increasing with the way COH2 has decided to play their cards.

As MVwhine said, playerbase is to small for this to even be a remotely good idea. However, a workaround could be the earlier suggested checkbox "close match" that could incorporate both close ELO match and ping? It would require longer searchtimes, but rather longer searchtimes than laggy games I guess.

A basic lobby system would fix this problem as well, for those playing custom games.

Thing is, if there was regional search, it would become harder to find a game more then usual. I find my self time to time the only one searching in 1vs1 auto (ranked) match.

Hate to break it to you, but CoH1 had the exact same problem during its time, as does every RTS game out there nowadays.

Old style RTS games like this are facing huge competition from the plethora of great, free to play, team based games that have a heck of a lot more polish and functionality than CoH2 has.

This is one of the major reasons why player counts are so low, along with CoH2's general issues.
