I found a way to select games based on Ping.
Go multiplayer as normal: (
PC Screenshots, but consoles are the same)

- public match

Then into public match:

- online - multiplayer

Now you'll see the main Core screen, but don't select a game type just yet.

Then on the playstation it's
■ or the square, Xbox it's blue
X, on the PC it's just S.
Then you get 3 choices:

- Normal ping

- Any Ping

- Best Ping! This is the one you want.

Obviously you want the best ping.
It does actually make a difference.
