PharmDawgg Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It sounds like the infamous Seattle dedicated server. You could try with strict mode on which will prevent anyone outside of your filter circle from connecting except people who meet your ping assist value. It is going to probably take a long time to find a game though because I believe the player population is not that high. Also you can try setting your ping assist to 0 and that way NO ONE will connect to you unless they are inside your filter circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPapacherry Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I love XB but I'm not gonna lie. I bought a PS4 just to avoid the Seattle dedi's in COD. On PS4 my games are played in florida right where I live. It sounds extreme but it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 yes the 0 ping works at first then i also get Seattle again and again. i might be imagining things but i wonder if this latest update is very stable. it might be remedied by just reinstalling it. i did get amazing results in the beginning but it just seemed to gradually get worse over time.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 25, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2015 Have you got strict enabled as well? Also keep in mind the anti cheat when playing as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy clam Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 IMO you gotta have strict on and PA at zero if you keep connecting to a dedi that plays bad for you,not just the Seattle server but any server. That or move your home location in between the dedi's and hope for a P2P connection game but to be honest AW is garbage and not worth the hassle to play it.

Dillinger Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I love XB but I'm not gonna lie. I bought a PS4 just to avoid the Seattle dedi's in COD. On PS4 my games are played in florida right where I live. It sounds extreme but it worked. I live near Seattle and the XBL dedi's are practically a stone's throw away. After playing on the Seattle Black Hole, I too switched over to PS4 for the upcoming Black Ops 3 release. I had been an Xbox and XBL advocate for a long time, but after seeing the difference first hand in game play, I have to say RIGHT NOW that PS has my vote for a good connection in November. I am holding onto to my pre-order for XBOne, just in case as I prefer the size of the controller, but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 just tried this for myself since i have both consoles and this definately works but there has to be a better solution right? You can try putting a VERY SMALL radius around a known dedi location (for me I was able to force play on Kansas City during the Black Ops 3 Beta) but it has to be really small, Ping Assist at 0 (effectively turning that "off") and have 'STRICT' marked/checked, meaning that it is ON. Have all that set up and THEN turn on your system and game. This will take a bit to get a game, but I was able to "force" a host connection in Kansas City when I live near Seattle. However this didn't work well if I made the changes AFTER the system and game were connected. I would say my success rate was about 60-70% of being able to force connection during the Beta if I made the settings before I went online with the system. If I made changes, I think about 1/3 or more of my games went right to Seattle (as it should, really, but that connection doh!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the changes before turning on the system helps not after or during the game search or lobby surfing. That is a solid piece of advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kripptik Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Please try what others have suggested.

It will take longer to find a game as the available host samples will be very low. The benefit is when it does connect, it should be much better than you are used to getting.
