Similarly I seem to get instablapped by many different things while I am on the US server.

While on the EU server, and playing against other EU players, though I get the feeling that everyone has time to respond to what is happening, resulting in more fair engagements.

While forcing server selection to "automatic - lowest roundabout time" isn't a good solution, it is less jarring than poor gameplay (such as instablapping, being shot after you have moved into cover, etc.).

Well I just switched from AMERICA to AUTOMATIC. For some reason I'm only getting matched with Europeans A LOT. I guess I'm getting placed on the EU server.

It's odd because I'm in the US.

I switched mine from auto to American and I seem to have fewer issues.

Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

I only play pubs and this is a recurring scenario: Full proto squad on other team. Me soloing fighting off a ton of people while half of my team is walking around shooting at the MCC and each other. Me and (insert names of 1-3 helpful teammates here) take a null cannon after a savage fight against a couple solo players. I notice that the top guy on the other team is getting a lot of kills on the killfeed with a proto (insert weapon name here). I go to null cannon (insert letter here). I engage the other teams' top player and... He/she is teleporting back and forth and front and back. Can't get a shot on them and yet they do a miraculous amount of damage to me in a split second. This scenario happens A TON! Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

Never did so good at Dust as I did when I reached my bandwidth cap and got throttled hard. Keep it tight Green. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side.

I switched mine from auto to American and I seem to have fewer issues. I'm going to start switching from one to the other. I.E. If I'm lagging on AMERICA I'll switch to AUTOMATIC and vice-versa. I'll see how this goes. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.
