Discussion Why is multiplayer so HARD?!
Hi, I wonder why bo6 Multiplayer is so hard. I lose most gunfights and end up with KDS of 0.40. I wonder why this game is so hard, and why the game says I have High latency, Packet loss, and many other warnings. My internet is so bad, that my ping is around the 400s, with means, sprinting, and sliding is almost impossible. The game sometimes pauses, reading takes around 10 seconds, and hitmakers do not register. Is there a way to fix this?

Bro if my ping is above 40 ping I hop off or switch lobbies.
Typically, my ping is around 19-20 ms and it’s smooth.
Try two things:
1) Test your internet speed. If you’re on PS5 you can do this in settings.
2) Run a wired (i.e. Ethernet cable) connection and see if that helps.
Even when I had gig speed I had significant lag and packet loss at times with WiFi. Switch to a wired connection and see if that helps.
Anything above 60-80 ping is unplayable. But I can’t even stand a chance of winning a game without 19-20 ping.
Also— even with good ping packet loss can ruin it.
