Under the ping column, there is only a "-", no ping whatsoever. Since the servers are spread around the world, it would be nice to know if you're gonna have a tenth of a second delay or a second delay. Any plan on fixing this soon?

Oh, I thought noone saw the ping.
And yea, I can't add favorites either (unless it's supposed to take forever). And the PB filter bug is extremely annoying, was gonna make a thread about that aswell, but guess they know about it already then.

some have got it to show by diabling UAC if you have that on you can try (vista or win7) personally I have UAC off as it wont let my G13 run profiles right in a diff game, and it has problems with http://www.gametap.com

Try it off once and see if it works, it is a game bug though when it comes down to it.

Aha, yea I will try that, thanks for the help.
Something of a sidenote, I turned it off earlier for some other game not recognizing my G13 aswell. Can't remember what game it was though, but it works in BC2 with UAC on.

Yea, borderlands was the game.

I tried running BC2 as admin instead of disabling UAC, and now the ping shows. I'd rather keep UAC on for security lazyness. Thanks for the help =)

Turned out that the ping only show the first time I load server list as admin, next time there's only a "-" again.
Further the ping shown is not near what it says in game - do BC2 add some virtual ping to keep players more equal? On server list it says ~30ms and in the game I get ~150ms. Don't think I've ever seen a ping below 100ms, even on servers just a few miles from where I live.

Try checking the "hide empty" & "hide full" boxes (whatever they're labeled, the two directly above no password) and some will start to show. What worked for me was that, and I cancel the query after about 5-10 seconds and the list is several hundred long and all have ping.
@skitskraj- the ping shown in game is overall latency, not ping.

It shows up on the LCD of the G19-and it seems fairly accurate too. I try to find servers that ping in the double digits, (otherwise I get slaughtered!). I just wish the server browser would require the location to be shown, or have a location filter. I'd like to know if there's a way to find the server address so I could check it with ping tester or something like that.

Well, it says ping both on server list and on score board, so I'm gonna assume that you are wrong until I see some official statement of that being the case.

The ping list worked once or twice for me. I search for servers that list the city it is in and check the ping once connected.

Some servers will list a city, but the admin lives there, not the server they rented...gotta make ya ROFL. This is so for many "Canadian" Servers that are really in the good ol' U S of *
