Playing Tac Ops has really shown me how awful a multiplayer experience this game is. I played two games today. In one my sound completely broke, and in the next I believe someone might have been geofiltering. Me and my buddy both had 100ms (we are in completely different regions) I was hitting headshots that weren’t registering along with being shot behind walls and around corners. Tac Ops just shows how inconsistent and awful this game can be. Even when I’m not at 100ms I’m always at around 60ms. When the game released initially my ms was lower. The desync has gotten MUCH worse. To the point where I don’t even want to grind the game to get better, because I feel like it’s not a fair experience.
Overall I feel like these issues permeate through all of the playlists, one way or another. Tac ops just puts them right in your face.
Apparently Geofiltering is no longer a thing cos they patched it out, but you know what’s possible? The game just deciding you guys should be put in NA and tell you to have fun with 100+ ping.
There are also cases of people in NA being dumped into EU.
The fact region selection isn’t a thing in Infinite is a travesty.
Apparently you can still geofillter if you change some settings on your computer. People have been finding ways around it. Literally the day after they removed it I saw several videos pop up on YouTube about how to still geofillter.
But I have also been experiencing the same issue with randomly high ping games and Desync. It has made trying to play even hard for me since the last big update when they removed geofilltering. If I recall correctly the tenri event was going on and I found that in every single game I was experiencing rubber banding as well as desync. Which meant every single game that I was playing in Fiesta to try to complete challenges was extra frustrating because there was at least one guy I couldn’t kill.

It really is ultra hard to tell if someone is geofiltering then, cos the way 343 explains how the game matches players is basically up to luck if you are matching into a game where the majority is in a server region closer to you.
The only fix for this on 343’s side is for us to select our region matching >.>
