I'm using streamyx and most of my MP games I'm getting 100-200ms... What I know most of the server is in EU and US maybe 1 or 2 server in AUS and Japan... they explained it is because almost 90% COD player is in US and EU bla bla bla... I occasionally win MVP in pub game even though my ping is higher... If your PC can't get good connection then your PC will become the game host LOL...

No & No
Matchmaking via their servers only

*peace

its not like black ops 1 which there is server browser which you can see location of server
& ping, its like you just mentioned, click play & matchmaking will decide for you in terms of network quality.
Have a read, feedback/comment section too http://mp1st.com/2015/10/16/black-ops-3-ma...d/#.VkwSZr98v60

I'm on 8mbps stimix, usually around 150-200+. its ok for multiplayer if you play smart not
just rushing like headless chicken. if i can, i'd rather wait till game gets patched 1st before
plunging pc version wise. btw i'm on pc

hehe, wise choice bro

btw there's another way to have good k/d rate, not campin tho,learn the maps & chokepoints well.

You can try insurgency, i heard its a good fps with dedi servers. i saw somewhere there's a few singapore hosted
servers available and the price for the game is also cheap.

owh sorry for off-topic here..i saw ur names last night...in dirty bomb...i had played a few games with it and kinda felt in love....

today i cannot connect to their server...i looked into their website and no announcement were made for like maybe a maintenance of some kind...

so do u also encounter this problem as of rightnow ...which is cannot log in to games..as of right now...9.20pm malaysia time...   ??

another thing to add up is i kinda agree with u on the ping value when playing FPS games..its the most important thing...better not play FPS if the ping is too high...because u will not ever perform at your highest level with it bordering around ofcourse..at the end..u get yourself blood pressure hahahh

oops lastly...been looking into this game too...the negative review by some of the netizens really stop me buying the game until now...i just care about the multiplayer aspect of this game...and its kinda sad (referring to the higher PING problems)

is it just me or is it really difficult to find matches right now? it keeps on looking for players but it is as if there are no players available. i had to choose from recent players from the social tab. even then, i played mode that i didnt like but just went on with it because the system could not find me a match.

Totally bs, after latest patch all i get is matches with ping >350 even with NAT open.
On a sidenote, anyone planning to buy this game for pc, avoid with all costs. At least for
the time being until 3arc fix connection issues, if they fix it that is...
