COD4 1.4 Patch

The last Call of Duty 4 patch (1.4) claimed to have made “improvements” to the server browser. I’m not sure what they consider an improvement, but clearly better pings and connections isn’t a top priority. Quite frequently when I refresh the list, I see pings on the first page of servers ranging from like a low of 500 up to around 5,000. I’m not the only one seeing this, either. Just so Infinity Ward knows — this is not an improvement from the previous version. It does not make me long for the nostalgia of dial-up modem play. (If you actually join a server listed with a ping of 500, your in-game ping is actually playable, but it’s still in like the 150 range.)

I guess in a way it’s helping me learn French and Russian because those are about the only servers I can find that are playable anymore.
