can't pick low ping games?

[Snackle]

So there is no option to be put into games with only low ping? so far I'm stuck in matches with 200+ ping. if I can't have an option for this there is no reason to keep it.

[Zeroko]

Depends where you live, if you live too far away from the generalized bo3 population then you will always have high ping.

Yeah fking bo3 online is broken.... Never had a lag before and now 3 days in a row...
Fking multimillion company treyach cant deal with simple lagg issue , pathetic , greedy bastards...

ik Joe everyones having the same issue the servers are badly optimized so now we good people with good internet are penalized because of the kids toaster ovens internets with like 25Mbps on ♥♥♥♥ laptops trying to play this game. The game is really broken even when your in a party you drop odf the party most times

What does that mean? We good people with good internet. There are a lot of good people with bad internet, so what, having bad internet makes people bad...stop it man. Your own personal internet speeds has a very small impact on the ping, it's always more about your distance to the host or server. Improving latency or reducing ping is done, by somehow reducing the number of physical hops between you and the server or host.

A lot of people don't seem to get this. You could put a new player against a professional on a perfect LAN set up and they'd be different skill levels even though they were on the same playing field in terms of connection. You're absolutely right. People can still be good players and massively outplay bad players even on a bad connection to the server.

It's really annoying to be an above average player who has to deal with over 200 ping because there is always a couple of people in the lobby who have half the ping you have and can kill you before you even see them. It's ridiculous that this game is so big and yet has the worst servers of any game in my library.

There are F2P games with better servers than this. If they cared a bit more about PC players then they would get more of them and it would be worth their money to invest in more servers for PC. Better yet, just allow us to play with Xbox One players. Not PS4 because they have the deal so they'd be playing with DLC before us. Sure the skill gap might be bigger between the worst Xbone player and the best PC player but the middle ground is mainly the same. The difference between the best of both platforms is marginal.

The way he worded it, was not good player vs. bad player, he used the term people...internet doesn't make a person good or bad. So maybe he needs to chose his words differently.

You knew what they meant though

I also have a 25Mb internet and my ping is 20-50 all day every day. So how is 25Mb internet bad as well? I never drop out of party, but he does with that "faster than mine" internet. Hell most of the time I'm picked as party leader in clan, since My NAT is OPEN 24/7 and when they use me as host their pings are lower as well. And clan members have far more bandwidth than me, can you explain this? Speed is a very, very, very small factor in ping and latency.

[Big Mick]

A 25Mbps connection is only 3.125MB/s which is relatively slow and normally comes in packages designed for families rather than gamers. That kind of speed is for people who want to play Candy Crush on Facebook, not have any kind of chance in an online game like BO3.

That being said, I'm on a 100Mbps connection which is much faster and Call of Duty games are the only ones I have issues with when playing online.

I used to be on a 25Mbps connection and do notice the difference but there are many factors that came when I upgraded. We upgraded from copper to fibre cables. We changed providers. Many providers straight up lie about your connection and can even go as far as to lie when using a speed test like speedtest.net. They're improve your speed temporarily to trick you into thinking you've got your advertised speed then slow it down. That's why you should always run the tests 2, 3 or even 4 times to get a more accurate result. Take the slowest speed, don't make an average.

If you're not getting your advertised speed then just contact your provider and be like "Hey man, not cool. Don't advertise stuff and then not give it." Threaten to leave and they'll either reduce the price or come to a deal with you that gives you better internet for a better price.


All of that is useless information for BO3 though because the servers are worse than a 12 year old's Minecraft server hosted on his mum's laptop through Hamachi.

With this actual 25 mb package provide by our ISP, I am actually connecting 27-28 Mb down and upload is 2.5-2.7. This is just fine, I can play COD as host of my clan for hours at a time, in some cases all weekend, while two of my teenagers either game on Xbox One or Stream Netflix. I still get a ping between 20 and 50 all day every day. So no bandwidth is not much of a factor at all. Run Gb speeds on Cat 6, through an Asus R68U AC1900 Router, and ISP provided DOCSIS 3.0 Modem. In fact my entire house is hard wired with Cat 6 cabling and ports in each room in the house, and router is sending traffic through a Netgear 24 Port ProSafe Gig Switch to the entire house. I can even stream via Twitch.tv while gaming and all other things going on in the house. It's called QOS....works fantastic.

Heck I even use the same connection to VPN back to my work for VMWare work related applications that have to send data to servers at work.
