So, I was getting some weird lag last night in GA. Checked the server location and I was getting shuffled between Sydney (76ms), Hong Kong (178ms) and Dubai (500+ms). Cool...
It didn't seem to matter if I'd manually force it back to Australia but I guess once you're in a particular server instance you're just along for the ride, no matter where it takes you... I could've quit out to look for a local server but I was on the better team and you don't get off that train.
I'd like to say getting put in matches in Dubai was the fault of the game but I'm beginning to suspect its a PSN thing because Overwatch used to put me in matches with UAE players at night as well. Regardless of the game, I'd love to know how playing on a server literally on the other side of the world is considered good matchmaking? :|
But back on topic, I also started using the El-Hefe last night though I can't tell if I like it or not. I've only got the recoil mod so far but I find it underwhelming. Statistically, the A280 with similar unlocks seems like it'd be the better choice at most ranges, though I've never used it in MP. From what I've read, opinions are mixed but I've always liked burst rifles in other games (EE-3 in BF2015, AN-92 and M16A4/M4 in Battlefield, etc.), and the A280-CFE is a beast that's let down by the Specialist's lack of HP.
