My Xbox is on my wireless network. Running the network statistics. Have 260 down, 150 up with 14 ms latency and this game still stutters every 20-30 seconds.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare/Warzone - shutting down September
- Thread starter Frozpot
- Start date
When you are in game go to options, account, and it will show you your latency and packetloss.
Did you do a full power reboot of your Xbox? Hold the button down for a couple seconds until it shuts down completely.
I used to get this all the time with this game. A hard reboot now and then clears it up. I also try to "close" the game when I'm done, not just leave it in standby mode (it never stays connected anyway).
Yea I looked at it last night during a match and it was over 100ms wtf. No wonder half of the matchups in this game seem like 50/50 RNG. Shoot first die first happens half the time I go 1v1 against someone. Funny thing is in the Gulag I'm probably like 90% win rate. Not sure how the connection works in there versus BR as a whole, but doesn't seem as bad.
Played with a PC user last night and he was lazering people. First time playing with him so not sure if he's just good in general or what, but decided to download the PC version as it looks like everything transfers between systems. Don't play as much on PC anymore so maybe a little potato aim to start, but overall I think I'm better with mouse than controller.

Trying to play solos last night was a nightmare. Erratic ping bouncing from like 60ms up to 200ms. Had huge packet loss numbers, in the high 60s to low 70% range. Just horrible.
Did what guys suggested. Did a reboot of my xbox. Had one game that ran well. Checked the ingame latency and packet loss.
That one game that ran well had latency between 14ms and 25ms with 0 packet loss.
When the stuttering came back, checked the latency and packet loss. Latency was around 25ms with random spikes over 140ms lol. Think I even saw one above 200ms. Packet loss never went over 1%.
Is there a setting so that the game picks North American servers only? Is stardard MP still P2P or did they go dedicated server? I've been out of the loop for a while.

Installed on PC and just did a couple practice rounds of BR to get used to controls. Hopefully get some time tonight to go into the real thing.
There definitely seems to be more lag lately. I notice games will have 1-2 people who are really off. Just played against a guy with a France flag as an icon who was laggy as heck. Don't know if he was really from Europe but it seems like it.
My guess is that the SBMM is more willing to leave the region to find players (which it should never do).

If you are looking for fast leveling, ground war seems good. The mode isn't that great, but if you just rush objectives you can level up a ton.
The new SKS marksman rifle is really good. it is a 2 tap to the body. Just like the EBR but with a lot less recoil. Even without attachments it is pretty solid for larger maps. Not a short range gun obviously but on some of the bigger maps it is deadly if you are accurate.
All I know is this PC crossplay stuff is nonsense. They need to have a console only crossplay mode. I'm getting legit flick shotted by people on mouse and keyboard and they likely aren't even cheaters.
It sucks because I was having fun in Ground War, and again it is great XP. I wanted to get that SKS quickly.
I finally gave Warzone a try solo. It was ok, but to me the idea of coming back from the dead in a BR game is sort of broken to me. I guess it is fun for people in teams, but it doesn't belong in solos. You should get one life in a BR game and that's it. When you die, jump into another game. Dying in the first 30 seconds is part of the fun.

I get flick shotted by controllers all the time. Watching these Warzone tournaments and all the best players use controllers and they dominate.
Again the forced crossplay is to keep the pc version alive. Blackout didnt last 6 months on PC.
The number of god tier controller players is pretty low in my experience. Sure, there are freaks out there, but with SBMM and simple luck it shouldn't happen.
I play the 6v6 or 10v10 with console crossplay and it is fine. I jump into Ground War and people are clearly using mouse.
I game on all 3 platforms, but maybe COD on PC shouldn't be a thing. It has always been a sh**show. I remember MW2 had launch day hacks.
Companies can't release games on PC and then just ignore the massive problems it creates.
You can use a mouse on console for this game.
With SBMM those players are in your skill bracket, they just happen to be using a different input device.
SBMM doesn't work though. All it does it keep the really bad players in their own protected bracket. People like me who are decent get thrown into the upper tier lobbies.
My actual K/D for the past week on the stat page is .79. .79 FFS!
There's something more interesting on this though. Playing TDM against console only, I'm a .93. that's the SBMM keeping me even.
Now let's bring PC players into the mix regularly.
Console players stand no chance against mouse and keyboard regulars.
COD & Halo, Gears are probably the only shooter games where pros use controller, due to how strong the aim Assist is in these games.
The aim assist in the campaign seems even more broken, but I guess its campaign so no one cares. I was hitting so many ridiculous shots with the PS4 that take away any meaning aiming skills. You do need to be in good positions.
Aim Assist has been a big topic, more so now with cross-play, but its a topic for another day.

I say let the PC side die why should we be punished just to keep PC side alive. Saw they banned another 70,000 players and from what I hear those players can just simply creat another account and keep cheating.
You are just assuming too much. Alot of the big console players don't play 6v6 modes, they play groundwar and warzone. God tier controller players are more common than you think.
Also, a 0.93 KD is garbage, so you are playing against garbage MK users too.
Never said you did. It wasn't a dig at you , it was just context for the players you are facing. MK or controller at 0.9 KD skill level doesn't matter. Same as cheaters, at that skill level cheaters are virtually non-existent. Every is just garbage. If you were facing people half as good as a Shroud or Ninja then yeah sure, but you're not.
I agree that crossplay should be console only, but for the majority it isn't going to make any difference at all.
The players I am up against are going 3+ K/D easily. They almost look like they are cheating, but they are just legit good. I'm never coming close to them even on my best day. I'm not going up against mouse and keyboard scrubs.
If everyone were in the same boat, I would say SBMM was doing its things. It isn't though. SBMM has decided that I'm "good enough to hang" in these lobbies and it is super frustrating.
Started playing Warzone yesterday. Won a full solo match and came in second in back to back matches at night. They did a good job with it. I hand't played COD since December I think!
I was surprised how well I did solo in Warzone. They must have some SBMM cranked up in there that doesn't carry over from the main game. I barely knew where I was going but still managed to get a bunch of kills.
My Xbox wasn't recording properly or I'd have some funny ones. I got killed and managed to get out of the gulag (still think that is a bad feature), so I jump in and land right next to someone on a roof. They are using some sort of remote control killstreak and have no idea I'm there. Kill them with the pistol and took all their stuff.
For the main game, the SKS plus the new pistol as a secondary is really good once you get them unlocked in the battle pass.

SBMM is an attempted to group people of similar "skills". The keyword is an attempt. Even if they have a good measure of "Skill", the skill range still depends on the players SBMM can pull to a lobby. It's hard to have a narrow skill range in-game with 150 people.
I f***ing hate you. I can not get a solo win. Played loads of matches but just can't get the W.
It gets tough and all usually about luck at the end predicting where the person is coming from. With my win I was right at the ring and there were three of us. I saw the red marker and the tick go down to two. I slowly crawled to the area and saw him creeping. I unloaded and he ran right towards me lol.
Yeah. I got plenty of top 5's. Just get caught unaware or moving in from a less than ideal spot.
This is pretty useless if you are experiencing random/intermittent network issues. Those are only a snapshot of that point in time. Black Ops 3 used to have a real time packet loss and latency overlay in game in the options, not sure if Modern Warfare has one.
