LAG/ HOSTS/ SERVERS/ fake ping calculation

[God Complex]

It blows my mind that 17 years after the first release of a COD online, that we continue to have issues with servers and hosting.
first and foremost, I'm playing on a dedicated hardwired GB fiber-optic connection from Toronto, and i sit and sit and wait for servers to populate.... nothing ever at 25ms, never anything at 42ms... then i find a game at 58ms and it's populated with a bunch of laggy players from south America, Dominican, puerto rico, and recently europe as well??? WTF is going on here? sorry guys, I'm 3100km away from the island of puerto rico and there is no chance that every server i connect to at under 70ms is populated with this group.
I have no interest in playing with people that don't speak english, and that are still on dial up internet. allow us to geo locate the servers we wouldn't like to connect to, which would improved the quality of online game play dramatically. the current setup seemingly forced my connection to skip the entire eastern seaboard of the USA, including but not limited to NY, Michigan and Chicago which are three huge gaming regions>>> FIGURE IT OUT ALREADY!!!!!

I would rather wait 10 minutes to find a game rather then continually be subjected to these garbage hosts and horrible players. who with the aid of lag assist, seem to be invincible, and come around corners shooting on target in scenarios they have no business having the upper hand.

This issue has been going on for years, and with the amount you continually charge us for these games, it would be amazing if your designers could maybe figure it out.

It is 100% Call of duty, I have no other issue with any other title, on any other platform PS4/ PC.

I experience the same issue as you, in regards to a slow populating game mode. I see the "searching for under 25ms", the "45ms", and it doesn't matter when the game populates- I'm nearly always playing on Chicagoland servers with a ping of 22ms, according to my router. Like you, I get paired up with South American players, usually after 9pm, and I live in North Central Indiana. Honestly, their "searching for x criteria " screen can just go away. It's all a load of crap anyhow.

The real issues lies with who Activision contracted for their dedis: Choopa, LLC, Vultr Holdings, Total Server Solutions, LLC, and Gameservers.com. All of them are trash. I can play titanfall2, connect to Arizona, and maintain A 20ms ping. Yet, CoD results in a 45-60ms ping anything outside of 180miles.

Just my educated guess: the servers "may" actually be OK, if the dam netcode being pumped into them was worth a crap. They need stricter parameters for who can play where, or they need to rewrite all of their netcode, plain and simple. It will takes years, as everything Activision does seems to, but I'd be fine w a game every other year that played crisp,as opposed to the crapshoot we have now
