whats the Best server host location for us players latency
 
Some dudes told me texas others chicago, so i dunno, just wanted to know whats the best server location for the majority of us players latency.

It honestly varies. There are people in all parts of the US. The majority probably cannot be figured out that easily. I'd probably say Chicago though because that's about the most central of a location you could get.

yeah likely something around Chicago is going to be the best...but really anything that isn't PST is going to be ok for most.

We've had servers in New York, Chicago, and Dallas. New York was good, Chicago for some reason (tried three providers) we'd get lag spikes, Dallas has been great. I've also heard that St. Louis is good.

It also depends on which provider you are going to use zE. Different providers use different networks. Game servers uses "Level3 Comunications" another company might use somebody else, and yet other companies will contract with 2 or 3 for redundancy to guarantee no down time and best possible latency, But you really pay for the last one.

Also, my CS server is based out of Seattle, WA, and it's done great so far, no lag issues or down time. I know, different game, but Seattle is great if you are looking to cater to West coast players.
