It would be good to see a country flag in players info.
I want to know from where players come, sometime it's better not to enter in squads with guys from different regions, because there can be several connection problems. |

Would ruin game's immersion. I don't want to be reminded of the outside world when playing Dust. |

Got to admit it would be pretty usefull in some cases. Maybe not a flag then, something more discrete |

This is a pretty cool idea, and it would be in the player info, so you wouldn't have to break any immersion unless you wanted to. I hear accents all the time that I have no idea how to identify, it would be interesting to see what country they are from. |

Instead of flag (down with them!) how about connection quality indicator, battle server setting and mic present? |

Why not both?
For me the flag is very important, especially for squads.
Example: i'm italian, there is squad with guys from france, another from germany and another from spain, i know my connection is more suitable with german connections |

You also know you have a better connection with people with a higher connection rating. If the system can analyze your connection with other players and quantify it for you then you don't need the flags at all. Unless you have some kind of ulterior motive like trying to bring real world nationalism into the game. That can't be it though. Why would anyone want to do that? |

I had my experience in different games, sometime the game is better for me when i'm in a team with german guys than when i am with italian guys and i live in italy 
When i play with guys from france the game is a little bit more laggy for me.
Internet connection is subjective, you can have the same ISP of another guy but yours it's faster, maybe your house is near a telephonic central, maybe the cables of his line are ruined.
Having a flag, in the info should not be a great problem, of course be mischievous not help. |

It has already been said that it's immersion breaking if it's not "hidden", for example, in the show info tab and some people don't appreciate having this information open for everyone just out of principle.
If i don't have to see country flags unless i want to and can opt out of showing this info to complete strangers i'm fine with it. |

Why do you have to keep it secret? it's not your address or your phone number, it's just an info to see if a connection is more or less suitable. |
