The sad reality that every one has to realise....the game is just rigged and is just a money making machine...ive been tinkering with setting so long now to try and get that perfect game set up and yeah you get some joy....But mostly you get some joy and then lengths of pain and unenjoyment.....SBMM (skill based match making) is the first hurdle which firstly punishes you for doing well and then combined with connection manipulation which puts you at a disadvantage to make other players seem like gods...The dev's at Activision want everyone around the 1.0 kd...so noobs get the enjoyment as well as battle hardened try hards... the system just drip feeds you some good times and then does the opposite and let's you get destroyed so easily no matter how fast you react..... I'm a UK player and have had my connection locked onto the milan Italy server probably a month or so because at first that was giving me more luck and enjoyment....but lately in game updates changed that...so now I've swapped back to dropping my location back in the sea off the coast of the UK and setting my ping assist to 16 and its become a little better...but I find the best thing is start a game and see how fair you find the fire fights and if your getting dropped easily after shooting first BS....I jump straight out and try the next game match make...to see if that's any better....and keep repeating till the game puts me back in a fair fire fight game...😡👎

The magic words we all know exist "lag compensation and SBMM" But the game developers don't seem to want to talk about them....But saying that without the clever kit like the netduma OS we would never be playing COD again...yet its not perfect but allows us to get some sort of ok game play if not perfect it's so much better 👍

Feel your pain 👍 The game hates players with wired fast connections we are at some much at a disadvantage it has nothing to do with how fast you are when your getting insta melted... it's blatantly obvious the game is putting you at a disadvantage to others playing with substandard connection and on WiFi....just so annoying we have to try and make our connections worse to get a fair game 😔....miss the original ps3 mw2 and blackops mw3 days....even ghost was pretty decent games that played well....They try to hard to cater for everyone nowadays just for game sales by tampering with game mechanics to try and give everyone the same experience....old games I used to be around 1.75k/d newer games I struggle to get over 1.0k/d every game is a roll of the dice will my gun perform or will I be put at a disadvantage 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷

You can change the MTU down to 750 on duma router but if i lower my MTU on PS5 to 750 the game hangs on loading screen....lowest I can get it on PS5 is 1380...I'm UK location i start game and then circle the server in Milan strict and 0 ping and that normal gives me a better game than having the UK circled....Still get annihilated by sweat lobbies but that down to the horrendous SBMM set.. but one on one gun battles seem alot fairer....but still not perfect at times.

sorry congestion control disabled....and only changed the MTU on PS5.....trouble is today even with these setting I've had a horrible time on MW2...ive even changed back to my original settings and still no joy....make me think the game decides when you will get a good game and not your connection...As NetDuma is not really giving me any better connection with or without it...must be the game that's adjusting the game play. I'm stumped?

I've tried something today different on PS5 after reading another post I firstly (1)disabled Network Priorties in netduma r2 (2) then change MTU to 1472 PS5 (3) Then circled UK map 0 ping assist and strict mode...... And I was amazed how MW2 played for the first time in along time I was getting the upper hand in most games, hit marker were bang on and plenty of killstreaks up....Still had the odd game where my shots weren't registering at there best but I found myself staying in games to the end without shouting at the TV to much and leaving games. 😘
