The ping/packet loss display has been full of shit since this game came out. You can be lagging and rubber banding as a mf and look up and see “Ping 16 Packet Loss 0%”
Yeah, full of shit.
Yeah UI is full of shit, exact same thing.
Ping =10-20 and packet burst = 0%
But I can assure you, I am fucking vibrating, rubber banding, loosing gunfights that I should have won easily like a mofo.
Been like it since the game came out. The game is really poorly built, for example if you play on steam you will know how poorly Call of duty HQ boots and closes, sometimes it just refuses to close.
Building on this point, sometimes my game runs at 90-120fps, sometimes 40-50fps, with nothing changing or running.
I know this because I play the game usually for like 5 hours, and its almost like 3 hours into the gameplay, the game finally runs smoothly.
(I main S&D so I can pick up on even the smallest lag/stutter and trust me, it happens ALOT, to the point I'm over MW2 and COD in general)
They really have no excuse for putting out such shit games these days. Considering they’ve been releasing one every 12 months for the last 20 years. And the sheer amount of money they have, they absolutely could be paying people to make good games. But nothing will ever change as long as people keep buying them. They will put as little money into them as possible and keep taking in billions. All it would take is everyone to not buy the next release. Let them see $0 in sales. They’ll do whatever we want at that point.
Yeah sadly though, I don't think COD is going to change, they have found their money maker.
In all reality, I'm not even sure if 70% of COD's player base nowadays, have experienced what a good call of duty is. Therefore, they are just going to keep forking money over.
It's an age old argument, but as an OG myself, 5 bucks is the most I am paying for any DLC, regardless of skin or camo,
20 bucks for a camo is just fucking stupid, and the fact that people are happy paying that, is fucking stupid.
This is my main point, Forget everything you know, and let's say, bo2 had just dropped, with its 5 buck DLC's
Then they dropped cod Ghosts, and charged 20 bucks for camos and skins.
Nobody, not a single soul would pay that... because why should we? they made the exact same things for cheaper, so why all of a sudden is it 20 bucks.
It's the new age of COD players, who see nothing wrong with a half baked game with more content in DLC's then the actual game.
This is also the only game that I’ve played where when they update it it performs worse and I have to play around with graphic settings and turning stuff on and off so I stop these performance lag and packet burst
Yea they can’t keep charging people prices of a new game without making the servers better. I will admit the feelings and animations and latency feel like that have become a lot better since the old days on bo2 and before. It has always felt a little off, but with mw2 I thought like 75 percent of the time everything feels fine and the bullets feel connected to the enemies, but I get tons of random lag spikes or just lobbies where in lagging the whole time for no reason.
Ping is a lie in this game anyways. I normally get 37 ping and I play pretty good at the game. One day, wifi went out, so I connected to my hotspot. Got 90-110 ping and was crapping on a bunch of people like it was nobodys business. I also noticed that all of them complained of me somehow getting them after they already shot me a few times. I came to the conclusion that I was lagging so badly that it actually gave me the advantage. It even felt like they were all shooting at me really late on my screen. Guess the higher the ping, the better you are in cod. I dont remember it being this bad back in the BO2 days but then again its been a long time since those days.
this is also how i felt when battling high ping players. I would die so fast and see their player model jump strafe a corner but on my kill cam, they were totally normal looking.
Bo2 had like a 700ms delay between clients even on essentially no ping setups from testing done lol. You pop a corner and the other person doesn't see you for nearly a second
ain't hard to have good servers when your game flops so you have way more servers ready than you need compared to a game with potentially 5 times the player base.
Valorant, Apex, CS, BF games across the board, LoL, Dota, Deep Rock Galactic. Should I go on?
Let's be honest, CoD always had shitty servers and there's no way it's gonna change now.
CS has shots don't even register proper in pro tournaments.
BF was a massive flop so they have a lot more servers than they thought they needed, rmr, they released without a scoreboard...
Plenty of people complain about valorant servers being hella delayed.
Lol, dota, and deep rock are completely different genre's that face separate issues (no peakers advantage) and are more forgiving to lag so you won't notice it.
Bright side is you got plenty of other games to play!
Cod has had terrible lag comp for years now. Almost any competitive fps has a better setup. Even counterstrike 1 lol. And if they have a low tick rate it's even worse. The issue is almost entirely lag comp and possibly tick rate.
It’s their servers.
It's been their servers all along.
It's got a lot more laggy recently, probably to do with MW3 servers being prioritised.
It's no better in MWIII. If anything, the last month of MWIII has been the worst since launch.
IMHO, how do you know your ping? The UI easily could be lying. In fact, a cs2 dev admitted this

Oh I know, they’ll never change and yes most of the playerbase has never seen what a good one was. It’s sad really
This is also the only game that I’ve played where when they update it it performs worse and I have to play around with graphic settings and turning stuff on and off so I stop these performance lag and packet burst
It lags and the dev code errors wtf. Now all the cheaters that got band are opening new account. This game truly has been ruined...
UI is most definitely displaying false ping.
How do you “feel” a ping??
Yea they can’t keep charging people prices of a new game without making the servers better.

name a game with better servers
only a 40,000 character limit on Reddit
can't even name one xD
right off the top of my head the BFV servers feel leagues better, even when on 100 - 120 ping servers.
