I've heard from a few mates who have been playing the beta that their latencies in game were sub 100ms, which means is that we do have local servers, but obviously we're only restricted to matchmaking (without a server browser). Not sure if DICE intends to add one or not, let's wait and see.
Which version? PC version has server browser.

Was just playing it. Didn't notice any lag. Odd thing is the server browser shows the servers at 180-ish ping but in-game its 60ms to 80ms depending on server. So I'm not sure how it is reading it, maybe the server browser reads ping different then in game reading.
They display half the actual ping ingame, so only the time from you to the server, not the roundtrip time.

Well for me it's fun.
I didn't play a lot of BF4 as it never really hooked me and the "modern warfare" genre became a bit stale in my opinion. BF1 is like a breath of fresh air, different theater of war and the random sandstorm effect that can occur at any point during a match is really a sight to behold if you have the hardware to back it up and really changes how the game plays out as it not only affects your ability to see, but your ability to hear enemies and gunfire as well.
I might end up pre-ordering it as it runs really well and for a beta it's very optimized and runs good on my i5 2500k & GTX 970 setup. In my opinion, the slow download you're facing is worth the wait

Having so many issues with Origin. Uninstalled it ages ago and took me a good 2 hours to get it installed. Now I can't download games due to another issue. Origin WHY!

Hope we get local servers in the full game.
400+ ping on the lowest servers in the browser is unbearable.
Rear-gunner = impossibru on international servers.
