  1. That’s not how it works…ping is not king in this game due to other players connecting from further away with higher ping connections and lag compensation. As an example, if I play on UK servers with low ping I have more instances of shoot first die first, and you can clearly see what appears to be enemy characters being accelerated.
  2. Those servers are 30-40ms for me, and are 50-70ms in game.
  3. Like I said, having a lower ping than 50ms isn’t going to help you achieve that.
  4. If you have a lot of devices in your house that are using internet then that’s when you need to use QoS…and I presume even more so if you’re also streaming. I also have many devices but when I’m gaming they are just idle rather than using bandwidth so QoS is pretty much pointless for me. Your ping sounds fine to me…and I actually connect to servers further away to make sure I have similar ping values as you mentioned.
  5. I game. The Italy/Spain servers are about 35ms from my location in UK on heatmap.
  6. The option to edit posts seems to have been removed 🤔 Anyways, forgot to add that I’m in UK with approx 70/20 connection and I find the games plays better when forcing Italy and Spain servers rather than UK.
  7. Gaming only uses a fraction of your download and upload speeds so your connection is absolutely fine. What is more important is how stable your connection is in terms of ping, latency and packet loss. With regards to QoS, I’ve tested and found that having the sliders off works best for me.
  8. If you have a ping that low then I would recommend using geo filter to force servers further away. The game plays better for me if I’m on 50-70ms ping. Ping is not king in this game due to matchmaking prioritising SBMM/EOMM meaning you get players from further away being sucked in to your lobbies and subsequent lag compensation.
  9. Yes. They used different accounts with clear different KDs to see if SBMM made any difference…and it didn’t. Your last statement is just buying in to this ridiculous and unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.
  10. TrueGameData and Xclusive Ace have both done videos on this dispelling the myth…obviously this doesn’t stop the community insisting that it’s a thing rather that plain old basic shit netcode.
  11. Done some further testing and restricting the pool of players via local servers, fewer gametypes and crossplay off doesn’t really have that much effect. What I have found more often then not is that there would always be 1 or 2 high skill players on the other team, and you’re basically expended to carry a team if complete numpties…resulting in your team being steam rolled, struggling break even KD as the enemy players push through areas you wouldn’t normally expect them to, and losing more games than wins. Obviously the flip side of this coin does happen with you dominating other teams, but it’s certainly not a recipe for minimising SBMM. I’ll be going back to Spain and Italy servers for solo queuing.
  12. I’ve been pretty much playing exclusively on Spain and Italy servers when I play solo MP (due to trying to get higher ping and shoot first, die first) but started testing UK only again today and I have to say that the lobbies felt possibly easier than what they used to in UK and what I’ve been used to playing on in Spain and Italy servers. This may be because I was playing with a low skilled friend but I noticed searching UK only takes a lot longer to find games so may be SBMM is struggling with just the one server to pick from. I only played for a couple of hours but will test further playing solo with fewer game modes selected and crossplay off.
  13. I don’t believe that to be the case at all. Warzone games to Italy and Spain always take longer to find especially if playing in duos, trios or quads.
  14. In what game modes? Depending on the time of day and game type, some times I have to disable GeoFilter. For example, I’ve been searching for 5 minutes in Ground War now (1:30am GMT) without finding a game with just Italy and Spain servers so I’m going to have to disable GeoFilter, and just set it to 500 mile radius from UK home location. It’s just a theory but I believe SBMM also may play a part of this in that it can’t find you a game in your skill level parameters. Update: just disabled GeoFilter to Italy and Spain, and found a Ground War game within 1-2 minutes.
  15. Have you checked if you’re shadow banned?
  16. We’re pretty much all in the same boat and you can’t do anything about SBMM…unless you do dodgy crap like reverse boosting. It’s come to the point that I can’t really play MP with my (lower skilled) friends as they get absolutely shit on when I play with them. If they play on their own or amongst themselves then they have fun and do quite well…when I join them, they’ll be 1-2 games where I destroy the lobby as it becomes a lot easier for me, however they struggle to go positive KD…then every game after that is total annihilation to the point where they no longer want to play. There is no doubt that SBMM protects lower skilled players as it is designed to do so, but the algorithms cannot handle groups of players with varying skill levels…and as such, it is an anti-social broken system if you can no longer play games with your friends. Fuck SBMM.
  17. I have a feeling a lot of in game experience in MW2/WZ2 just comes down to the server you’re connected to and how hard SBMM has kicked in. I’ll have games where it feels crisp and playing against poor players, then games where I feel like I’m shooting marshmallows and everyone is a CDL pro wannabe. I haven’t found any settings that improve this other than avoiding UK/France servers as much as possible. In general, when playing solo I definitely get a better experience on Spain/Italy servers, but it can take a while to find games when playing with friends.
  18. The shoot first die first issue has become really bad for me in the last few days particularly in Warzone. Nothing has changed my end, and is apparent on either UK, France, Spain or Italy servers.
  19. That sucks. Your classes could be bugged so I would delete all custom class slots and create new ones from scratch.
  20. This actually happened as you described to me whilst playing this afternoon. It put me in to a GIP on a crap map so I backed out…and that seemed to trigger half of my MP classes to default to basic M4. Fortunately I’d already saved the custom blueprints so didn’t have to recreate all the builds and tuning. Haven’t checked if it’s also affected my WZ classes but they’ve all been saved too so shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
  21. These are my bug reports so far after testing custom mod blueprints after the patch last night: 1. Renaming an already saved custom mod crashes the game (ie CODMW2 quits completely and goes back to XSX dashboard). 2. No weapon appears when selecting a custom mod based off an actual blueprint in firing range. 3. Game remains in the state of firing range mode with the ambient noise after leaving firing range until you quit game or select a totally different weapon from custom loadouts. 4. This is more than just a visual glitch as the custom mod weapon does not then appear in the actual game (you just spawn with your secondary). 5. If you make changes to a saved custom mod then you have to save it again otherwise any changes won’t be saved (including camos, attachments and tuning). 6. When you do save the edited custom mod, sometimes it creates a new version of the same custom mod under the same name rather than overwriting the previously saved version…and sometimes it just updates and overwrites as expected. Having custom mods (ie your own blueprints) is a very welcome addition to the game…but they have work to do to get it working properly.
  22. Nope. All my classes are still there in both MP and WZ…but creating your own custom mods/blueprints is buggy as can be.
  23. Personally I find low ping lobbies to be worse than the 40-70ms lobbies. With low ping I feel about half a second behind the gameplay so it feels like I’m dead in one bullet (you just hear and feel a thud then you’re dead so you think it was a shotgun or SPR)…but the killcam shows they see me first, empty half a mag in to me and I haven’t even ADS or shot a bullet. I don’t understand how the netcode can be this bad for my local servers, but it’s definitely better for me if I connect to higher ping servers.
  24. Ok I’ll test over the weekend to see if it’s any better.
  25. Yeah that’s what I do at the moment with polygons around Italy and Spain. I think they are the best options from UK at around 35ms? Is the ping assist range function still in development or has it been shelved?
