Hey, in the multiplayer lobby what do those computer modem things to the left of the server name mean? And how exactly does ping work, since a lot of the servers you see don't even show a ping? I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a little tip, thanx

i dont know what your talking about with the modem thing, but the ping is simple, it is desplayed in how many milliseconds it takes your computer to give the server information and then for the server to process it and give your computer information back, the higher the ping the worse the lag, if there is no ping i wouldnt go there, i think that means it is higher than a certain number, stick with the pings around 30-120 and your golden

The modem means its a dedicated server, which usually means it has relativly low ping. It also means there might be auto ban. Ping is exactly what he said, and the servers that don't show a ping are unpingable. That doesn't mean its a high ping.
