Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII

I'm playing on PS4.

There are definitely dedicated servers because I have connected to them occasionally.

I wonder if the filtering on my Nighthawk Netduma OS router is having an effect.

Could be, I think it was yesterday PSN was having some problems but even then I didn't notice any problem in game.

More than likely, I ended up ditching my Netduma as it was giving less and less favourable results.

Now I just run an RT-ac68u and never had a problem with connections.

I'm still running off a Duma and rarely do I have such poor connections.

It's not my router, there just aren't enough dedicated servers to go around. First game on tonight and it was a dedicated until I left the lobby to go and eat. Came back and every lobby was peer connection. Every time I completed a game I left the lobby, chose a different game type and each time it's a peer connection with people skipping all over the place and sponging bullets.

Activision can blow me, trading this game in and that's it for me and COD.

It wasn’t so much connections being poor but I was constantly just on a server on the south coast of England against foreigners, and it was foreigners from the Far East, I stopped using it and got matched with more English people and other local Europeans, that’s what o meant by favourable realists, couldn’t fault the connection to the server but for some odd reason I always ended up against people far away, this was in the advanced warfare days.

I’d be wary of what you are classing (depending on how the new servers are classed) as p2p servers because don’t they have to update the database of servers? Or is it different now on DumaOS?

Edit: Out of curiosity is that your post on the forum? And this post might be of interest if you haven’t seen it already

No, that's not me.

Maybe some of the connections are dedicated and not peer, particularly when I looked up one "peer" connection and it's probably a data centre in London.

Even so it's still laggy a lot of the time.

ForTheQuestions · 17 Oct 2018 at 20:49

How do you know if its a dedicated server or not, you checking via your router or is there some setting in game I'm missing?

barmyllama · 18 Oct 2018 at 07:56

Yes it's the router's Netduma OS that tells you if it's dedicated.

But from reading the thread linked earlier, it seems that the information the router gives out has to be updated manually by the software developers themselves. So some connections that the router says are peer are actually dedicated.

Still doesn't matter when dedicated server connections feel so inconsistent sometimes.

Then take how unbalanced some of the guns are and you have a game with an increased time to kill with a reduced time to die.

It's very frustrating.

I’m really not enjoying this tbh. It might be as I’m crap but I just cannot seem to shoot anyone. Maybe I’m too old and slow for twitch shooters now.... lol

ricky1981 · 18 Oct 2018 at 08:56

Having the same issue, tempted to flick it on whilst it's still fetching a decent price. I've got AC:Odyssey waiting, RDR2 and Hitman 2 preordered so no shortage of decent games to replace it.

Mines on its way to cex it’s just not for me.

I find the connections to be a bit dodgy. It takes me 6 bullets to kill somebody but I die as if I'm playing hardcore mode on mw2.

biron_w · 18 Oct 2018 at 10:12

The connections are also dodgy in COD. It goes from good to unplayable. I had a few games last night. One game got a 2.5kd. Next game, same lobby, I had a 0.18kd before I quit. But I have more good than bad in this game.

My KDR for WW2 was just under 1.7 and running well over 2 for at least the last month. Not bad when you consider I'm 50 next year and most of the good COD players had a lower KDR for WW2 than previous CODs.

In this game my KDR is 1.77, which isn't actually my really KDR it's that fake one that includes asists as kills. My real KDR is less than 1.5 so there's definitely some inconsistencies somewhere and it's not all me.

If you decide to let it go let me know (if it's Xbox), local to you matey.

That's okay, I'll grab it another time

It's amusing reading this thread. It's just like the blops 2 or mw3 launch.

barmyllama · 18 Oct 2018 at 19:38

I'm done. Tried again tonight and it's just not for me.

Constant shoot first die first. I know I'm not Godlike at COD, but I'm not as bad as this game makes me out to be.
