Typically anything under 150 is very playable.
And you can't go with a blanket statement like... My ping is 29ms
You might be 29 ms to Google, and 43 ms to MSN, and 50 ms to XBox Live and 80 ms to some other game server, and 120 ms to the next game server for the same game.
And your ping constantly changes

All bars on BF3 US servers, all I care about.

No. Unless you happen to ping 100s of different servers and somehow get a ping of 29 on all of them.
Saying your ping is 29 like saying your drive time is 29 minutes regardless of where you're going.

just about any server you ping will be different. if you went on to speedtest and chose random servers from some place close to you to somewhere random in europe you'll see how different your ping can be.

You could try pingtest.net or speedtest.net to have it ping the closest server to you, which may give you a general idea of what you're dealing with. It's mostly useful for a baseline measurement. For example, when I had U-Verse, it has inherent latency because it was an interleaved connection. As a result, the lowest ping I could get out of all the servers tested was about 30ms. When I switched back to cox, my lowest ping was 4ms.
But it doesn't tell you much about how your gaming experience will be. You have to open up a game, browse the multiplayer servers and sort them by lowest ping. It'll be different in each game depending on the location of the servers. Even though I could get 30ms pinging an Atlanta server through U-Verse, I seldom found a multiplayer server with a ping under 60-70ms. With cox, those same servers are now pinging at 25-30.

When I play BF3, my ping is great although it doesn't give me a number. When I play Warfighter, it provides a number for my ping. The best ones I usually can find are 54...every blue moon there's one in the 20's.
