Call of Duty Players Report Game-Breaking Multiplayer Lag

[GreenL420]

Call of Duty players are flooding Activision's Twitter accounts with reports of multiplayer lag in the newly-released game, Advanced Warfare.

Issues include "service is not available" messages, match disconnects, and lag that leads to missed shots and unfair deaths. While there are reports of issues on every system, most are linked to the PC and PlayStation 4 versions of the game.

Activision's Support Twitter account is receiving so many replies that it's hard to keep up with all of them. Likewise, the Advanced Warfare subreddit, as well as the game's official community forums, are full of threads about PC issues and disconnects.

Sledgehammer Games and Activision said before Advanced Warfare's launch that it would feature dedicated servers for all platforms, but it's using peer-to-peer connections, leading to weaker match stability.

The general response from Activision is, "We're aware of connectivity issues currently being experienced. They are under investigation. Stay tuned for updates."

We've reached out to Activision about which platforms are having the most issues, what's being done to correct them, and what the official status is on dedicated servers. We'll update this story the moment we know.

I bought this game Wednesday morning, played 20 minutes of it with a friend. Turned it off, played COD MW3 for the rest of the night. Returned Advanced Warfare the next day.

I don't care to play this one. Looks like a black ops 2 futuristic drones and robots and future guns and shit and that's gay. I want regular guns and no drones. Mw3 was awesome. Black ops 1 was awesome. Ghost was meh best thing was extinction mode. I may rent it eventually but it's not a priority.

The lag is this game is next level - people say there's always leg compensation when game first comes out because there's so many people but let me tell ya - I've played a lot of fucking games in my time and this one takes the cake as far as lag is concerned. There was points where so much lag was going on it wouldn't even load my guns on the set up screen.

Haven't enjoyed the game - stick to BO2 until Gayarch releases their game next year, don't waste your money on this. If you like COD this isn't a Call of Duty game at all - it's basically a rip off of Titan fall. They even named the teams after Titan Fall Atlas and there's even a score streak where you get into a Titan lol. It's so messed up, this franchise is going down the tubes. I won't buy another Infinity Ward or Sledgehammer games game even again after these last two releases. Treyarch better not fu*k up the next game!

Isn't MW3 hacked to shit thou? I was told majority of previous releases it's next to impossible to get into a lobby without a hacker?

Exactly. I also feel like all these games anymore focus on multiplayer a lot more than campaign and I hate that because I love single player.

Not sure. I don't play online. I'm just talking about the story mode. I really liked survival mode on there though. It's so much fun.

Guys I would highly recommend trying it if you haven't it honestly is really good I only bought because the reviews were so good and i was very shocked after the failure of ghost.

Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer make the worst CODs. The last three games made by them are unplayable with lag, cheaters, bugs and a dead community. These are trashy games. Only Treyarch can make a half decent COD. I might still get AW at some point when I have spare cash and no use for it, but it will be a guilty and unexciting purchase. I'm a COD nut and keep buying them even as I grow to hate these games more and more. I still have a lot of love for Black Ops 2 even with all it's problems.

Finally Sledgehammer has admitted that there is major lag issues on all platforms, supposedly they messed up and did the lobbies based on skill match up instead of best connection. Anyways there's suppose to be patch coming in next couple of weeks, I'd hold of until at least then to see if they correct all the problems. If they do it might be an ok game. Check out this guys review, very honest in explaining exactly what people playing multi player are experiencing:

i didn't enjoy ghosts that much and never played the new one as i said but i hate treyarch as i didn't like any of the black ops games so i may have to skip the next one to if there making it.
