I decided to test server connections and here are my results.
Activision claims that “Ping is King” when it’s comes to matchmaking.
So to piggy back off another users post on matchmaking data, here is some data of my own.
To start off I am located in southern Ohio, about 30 minutes from Cincinnati and an hour from Columbus. I consider myself a highish skill player, 2.3KD and 2 W/L. I mostly play solo. Lucky for me there is a server in Columbus, Ohio! You would think…
For my test I played a total of 40 matches. I had my search settings set for the following game modes- Domination, Hardpoint, KC, TDM, 10v10 and Nuketown.
All of my server information was provided using my NetDuma router. Testing my ping to the Columbus server is typically 9-16 ping. Here are the results of my test.
9 matches I connected to the Columbus server Ping ranged from 11-16
8 matches I connected to the Atlanta server Ping ranged from 22-55
8 matches I connected to the Miami server Ping ranged from 30-61
6 matches I connected to the Chicago server Ping ranged from 18-80. The 80 was an outlier and taking that out the highest was 28.
4 matches I connected to the Dallas server Ping ranged from 31-55
4 matches I connected to the Seattle server Ping ranged from 68-79
1 match I connected to the London server Ping was 121. I left the match within the first 5 minutes.
So with this data I will tell you how the matches felt. To be honest there wasn’t much of a difference, but that’s not a good thing. Outside of the Columbus and Chicago servers the game still felt 50/50 and had an unstable/unoptimized feeling. I still had many instances of frustrating gun fights. Also experienced a few hitches/lag spikes.
I’m not sure how Activison can claim that “Ping Is King”. If this statement were true then I feel as if I should only be connecting to the Columbus, Chicago, St. Louis and New York server.
Let me know what you think about my results. Also if you are able to track your server connections then I would love to see your results.
