@@frazzledazzle89but this is the worst one of all gaslighting about blood effects when there’s a lot of video evidence that there is a hit reg and netcode issue
@@Kendog That maybe so, but they always do it and will continue to do it. They blatantly lie and gaslight because the truth will probably land them in hot water, like selling a "faulty" product. Like they lied SBMM because if they told you your gaming experience is going to be manipulated to be less fun they could be liable to sued. It is probably in the terms and conditions somewhere though, but nobody ever reads that. My advice is, do not give your time and energy to these people who do not respect you, they see you a consumer of their cash cow, that is it.

according to this shill a few videos ago, everything was perfect no difference in player hit reg between noobs and higher skilled players. 2 boxing or use a vpn and you get perfect hit reg servers.
I think you are forgetting something important here. If extra money is spent on enhancing those dumpy servers, that is money that the C-suite won't be receiving to buy their 5th vacation home in Jackson Hole. You have no idea how long the CFO has had his eye on that ski mansion, so it's only fair that his comp package (or stock buybacks) take priority over the customers. There's only a few billion to go around so you need to be a little more empathetic towards upper managements pockets
Agreed. That's why I stole my parent's and even my friend's mother's credit card and maxxed out the spending limit buying Blackcell and skin bundles from the in game store.

@@merrickx option 3: just don’t say anything close to the truth and pay content creators to hype up the stuff we do good so no one notices we have no clue how to do our jobs. Seems they got the option that works best for them.
Skill based damage is not a fucking thing oh my god, if I hear that term one more term in relation to the hit registration issues I’m literally going to lose my shit. Blame truth has spread that retarded conspiracy so far it’s so dumb
No content creator is hyping up no game, where does this stigma that they do come from? Streamers playing the game currently are dragging the game that bad through the mud it’s comical 😂
Very wierd reaction from activision. They're like 'I know the shot was perfectly lined up, the bullet visually hits the target and blood comes out but actually you didn't hit them and the blood wasn't supposed to be there". It's just nonsense.
It does makes sense. The Bullets you see flying out of your gun in most games are just a visual that has nothing to do with the real bullet the game registers. The thing is, that is still bad. Why add distracting visuals that give you wrong information? The only reason I can think of is that it uses less performance to just use fantasy bullet trails then it does calculating the real traces. CS:GO also had this "feature" but they finally implemented that the bullets you see are actually real.
@@Fr3dFo0 if your ADS on a target and shoot and nothing happens- How is that makes sense- The servers not synchronised between enemy and you- if you aim on to enemy but on activation servers the player in different place how do you meant to kill anyone, ''competitive'' game for people who play on 60FPS so they wouldn't see LOOL
Activision? Brother man go to the source it's Microsoft shareholders who is making these major BS decisions they should be ashamed of theirself making profits before quality. 3:20
Thank you brother for shedding light on this I COULDNT believe they were publicly lying about this to cover it up. Just sad this is what it takes for a POSSIBILITY to get servers that WORK
bro I've been getting hitreg issues in fucking Zombies, hit a zombie in the head and blood comes out but no hitmarker. Not nearly as big of an issue compared to the PvP modes, but the fact that the issue is so bad it persists in a PvE mode is concerning to say the least.
they are being dishonest about more than that for the last 7yrs but what do i know, i'm 57yrs & been around before the begining of gaming and seen it all. The way they keep squeezing $$$ out of the cod franchise is ...soo many words that i cannot think of just one word to some it up...
It kills me that the players have no influence on the game anymore. It’s become more about the marketing than the actual gameplay and it’s a massive fraud being committed against everyone who’s been buying CoD all these years.

@@andrewsmith8727 yeah exactly what I thought, they will probably remove the blood effect only to make you think that you just missed and it’s not a server problem
Well, no, it will make you think you missed until you watch it back. The fact you SEE blood and it not actually being a hit is what makes it more obvious it SHOULD have been a hit. Removing the blood is to mask their shit hit reg.
Told my buddies that if Activision didn’t fix their servers, I wouldn’t buy the game (for the first time in 4yrs). After many rounds of testing in WZ I still haven’t spent the cash. Having omni-movement character models yeeting in every direction is also too much for the servers.
Its part of the issue. Ultimately they need to upgrade to 90-120HRZ Severs. They have the $$. IT would ultimately pay for it self MANY times over. But they don't look at long term.
dont buy bro im actually deinstallt first time 4 years dont counte vanguard haha but realtalk dont do it. in multiplayer its 10 time worse if you are anywhat an good player it is unplayebell for fucking real. Its a scam i go casino the at least dont lie to me

Glad we have people like you checking up on these guys making millions and giving the gamer the short end of the stick. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I had a different issue yesterday on hardcore, I hit an enemy that was near three times and got a hit marker each time, but didn’t get the kill. This was with the Goblin AR which is a one shot kill at that range in HC. There’s clearly a host of different issues.
I was playing zombies last night grinding for nebula and I was noticing this happen in a solo game. I would shoot the zombie in the head and I would see blood but no damage number would pop up. Completely unacceptable.
Thank you so much for testing and confirming that this is mostly a server-side issue. I'm a semi-retired server hosting person. I thought I was going mad with some of the crazy "missed" shots in Warzone (my third year).
In order to address the ongoing issues, it is imperative that we implement a temporary suspension of Call of Duty gameplay. This measure will serve as a catalyst for the developers to rectify the problems and provide us with a more satisfactory gaming experience.
Lol I haven't touched it in a week anyways. But that's exactly these boys problems, is they will complain day in and day out and then turn on the fucking Game! Of course they're not gonna fix anything as long as y'alls playtime don't change at all and the kids still buying microtransactions
@@maliksmith3618 we could all go to xDefiant and play a fps that has a legitimate reason to have hitreg and net code issues. They haven’t been making this same game for 2 decades.
Great insightful video as always .. gotta read between the lines, connect some dots here and there. You always add lots of value to the topic, appreciate it! Keep up with the work, we really need it! But this is how Activision and BO6/WZ make their money now-by transforming players into customers and gameplay into a calculated business model. This isn’t just a game anymore; it’s behavioral engineering at its finest. They’ve mastered the art of misdirection, making the community believe the game is broken so we focus on the "issues." But the truth is hidden in plain sight. We’re so caught up trying to figure out what’s wrong with the game that we miss the bigger picture. These aren’t bugs-they’re features. Everything is intentional. The whole game? It’s a carefully crafted scam.
As you said this is a very big net code issue and server infastructure issue, and I agree with what you said in your video. What I dont understand is why some COD content creators are trying to protray this server issue as Skill Based Damage and spread misinformation. The misinformation is not just coming from Activision but it is also being spread as rage bait through the COD community.
Because they (Activision) have active patents on SBMM. Also, What makes you think there isn't more than one "issue" afoot? It could easily be both, heck, one could even go as far as to speculate that the netcode issues are indirectly being caused by all the behind-the-scenes manipulations.
The lack of transparency from Activision and the developers is only fuel to these rumors like skill based damage and smaller hit boxes for lower skilled players.
I've had Warzone crash on me anytime I was doing good (specifically with the Mwll intervention), which is strange because anytime I was wiffing all of my shots, dying or losing. the performance of the server doesn't fluctuate it just runs like "butter" I genuinely hate this game with all my heart
Hit reg issues are bad enough, but I'm pretty sure the Sydney server is literally dying in front of us, and Activision aren't acknowledging it at all. Australian and New Zealand players regularly have to deal with all sorts of BS, from laggy unplayable games, to just being put in US lobbies. Even playing solo zombies I've watched my ping go from 30 ish up past 200, then getting a server disconnected error. This experience is shared by literally everyone who plays on the Sydney server, we're basically at the point where cod is unplayable for an entire region/several countries.
@@intellectic9155 How dare you say this about my second favorite country. Also I feel like even less people cares about South Africa yet our servers are better somehow.
@@intellectic9155 I fuck with my Aussie homies they're cool, also nobody deserves to pay $60 for something they don't have the chance to even play, especially modes that have been notorious for being offline friendly like zombies, they're just fucked and it's wrong.
Can confirm these servers on the Sydney side are DISGUSTING. The crazy lag issues we've been getting are borderline unacceptable. I've been in Multiplayer whilst a friend has been in Zombies all on the Sydney server... And we are both lagging, at the same time...
The clip with him throttling his connection seems rather convincing but at the same time I know my internet has no issues with any other game, i sit around 15-20ms on everything with a very consistent connection. My girlfriend and I play off of the same internet and theres times where we're fighting people together and her bullets will work and mine wont or vice versa, typically in warzone but even in that horrible HVT gamemode it happens a decent amount.
They have no reason to make the game better, improve netcode, improve the servers or do anything. CoD will sell and break records every year, people will keep buying the game every year whether its good or bad. This company will only fix anything if they see a big enough decrease in game sales and player numbers, but the last few year have proven that is not going to happen. And to compound all of these issues CoD has not had any real competition for years now and its shows, Battlefield was the only other FPS shooter that was close and even then the gap in sales and player count was huge.
Being a software developer for over 40 years, I know how difficult it is to get a comparable experience for players on difference hardware and connection latency/throughput. They had this problem with CS on public server, however as soon as they allowed private hosted servers, owners ramped up the tick to over 100+ tick rate servers. CoD is moving much more complex data than any CS server, however this is their castle, they designed it, they architected it, however, scalable it is not.
Also work in the software industry, yes, it is indeed a challenging problem, incredibly difficult. My issue is that it appears they’re not even TRYING to fix the issues.
Don’t you think it’s more likely that the visual blood splatter is on your local device, and then once they get that info, they pick and choose what % of your shots will hit? There’s stacks of proof already of them having Skill-Based Hit Registery, along with many other things to help noobs and nerf longtime fans. Like Skill-Based Team Matchups (veteran players being paired exclusively with new players) and Skill-Based Packet Bursts. These are all patented by the way if you don’t believe it.
@@claytonkoubek5206 Yes, local blood mist is a local event. They're hopeing the mist + server response should tie in together, however it makes it worse.
I’ve noticed a frustrating issue in Warzone where hits don’t seem to register properly. Disabling visual and audio hit markers helped me cope, as it prevents the game from falsely showing that I’ve landed shots when the server doesn’t register them. Now, I’m also disabling blood spray effects to avoid seeing phantom hits, especially with snipers. This way, it’s less maddening when shots that should down an enemy just don’t count.
vote with your wallet guys!!. I stopped playing bo6 because im always getting nerfed im just too good and an veteran and im not in control of my own skill and that's the reason i stopped playing bo 6 scummy lying developers they deserve everythin that will come to them. I had countless hits with blood my friends thinking im crazy now. That's how hard i get nerfed so i stopped im not letting myself getting manipulated.
Good work Brit, spot on. Anyone with Duma OS, using their geo filter map and time and testing, can figure out this issue is also dependent on each individual server. The best ones ive found so far are surprise, surprise, Texas and Florida, where most of our streamers are playing on if they are not vpning. Atlanta, Washington DC, Jersey are all trash, and the chicago servers are loaded with most of the sweats in the NE region of USA.
They just don't want to fix their terrible Netcode and servers. In a way they are not wrong, you are not really hitting the targets, just on their servers, not on your screen.
The sooner people quit chalking it up to netcode like spergs the sooner we can get Activision to actually work on the real issue. The netcode and servers are fine, 60 and 20hz tick rates respectively are fine. The game runs buttery smooth right up until you start getting to the 1.5k/d mark and then they hit you with their version of R6’s mousetrap where latency is intentionally introduced. If it were servers and netcode then the entire lobby would experience these issues simultaneously, but that isn’t the case.
@apersonontheinternet8006 yeah because my 1.5 k/d in zombies is why I'm experiencing packet burst and noregs in a pve mode, it's all because of some shadow conspiracy with no concrete evidence whatsoever 👍
It’s about to be 2025, I honestly cannot understand the lack of demand for perfection when it comes to video games and most technology, if you’re going to spend money I give you for a new game, that game better be just as good if not better than previous titles, that includes releasing without bugs or problems with the basic infrastructure of the gameplay. Enough is enough.
Love seeing this content by the way. Really well laid out and proof of the issue...blatant proof at that. I can't believe Activision's response to this...unreal.
At what point do we as consumers say enough in done with Microsoft? It’s not the devs it’s not the frontline workers…..it’s decisions made by the people on earnings call….
Every time I have some sort of server issue, my latency and packet loss doesn’t change in the slightest. The only icon I get is the “Disconnected” icon when the server shits itself… assuming it’s not a hacker that bombs the server and ruins it for everyone.
I stopped playing COD a few years ago now because of how toxic Activision are. I would put my life on the reason you are experience laggy lobbies, hit detection etc is not because servers need updating or upgrading (or at least that may be part of the problem but not the whole) but the actual problem is more likely to do with Activision manipulating players in game in experience to help lesser skilled players or to keep most people playing the game overall. These people are greedy and selfish, they constantly exploit their customer base, what makes you think they don't manipulate in game experience to give players a better experience at the cost of others... They are never going to come out and admit it but we all know SBMM is in the game and that alone should be a reason for everyone to boycott it. Imagine buying a game to play for fun, but the fun aspect has deliberately been manipulated out of the experience for you and replaced with sweaty, stressed, laggy lobbies. God knows what other hidden algorithms and manipulations they use, for my own self respect I quit playing this trash, I would advise you do too, maybe then when their bottom line is hurt they might actually listen.
@TheTacticalBrit Thx for the video. Unfortunately, it's not just server issues in Warzone and BO6 multiplayer. The server issues are happening in the campaign as well. I had repeated lag, freezing and stuttering issues while playing through the campaign that made it extremely frustrating. It would happen so often, it was ridiculous. Now, for reference, I have a Gig fiber to home network, with NO packet drops and less than 21ms ping. It's crazy!!! 😠 This is quite unacceptable for a AAA game studio. The fact that they justify such poor server performance is criminal! At the very least, they are communicating to their player base that they really don't care about them. Somehow, I think we need to send a clear message to their pocketbooks that forces their hand to change things. There needs to be a reset from us as consumers as to what we will accept from them, and from them as a company where they prioritize their customer base.
I agree with you hundred percent all these all these players and streamers do is complain but do nothing to fix the problem. They have the same excuse everytime someone tells them not to buy the game which is they love the franchise. If you love the franchise so much help fix it by letting these greedy company know you wont buy thier game until fix it.
it's not even only in MP games either, if you go into the Firing Range (for me it was with SVD) sometimes shots will just go through the head of the target and do 0 dmg
Thank you for this. I don’t wanna hear anyone say Skill Base Damage exists anymore. I’ve told people it’s just CoD’s dog servers but they INSIST SBD exists just because a patent that has yet to be proven to be used in these games.
I believe part of it could have been caused over time from their “Hub” integration as well, due to multiple recent cod titles all over 90gbs, all running on the same server/hub shared data network causing a backup and lag that’s gotten worse with each title added to the hub. Previous to the hub these issues were way less common.
It appeared to have happened in COD's Frenzy tournament yesterday. In multiple matches players ate 30 bullets, followed by the next dying instantly. The hosts even talked about it, saying "what the hell gun was that, he died instantly". Only to realize it was the most common XM4
Exactly! The community cries and cries, makes videos about exposing the issues, cries some more, then continues to play the game. You all deserve to be lied too. They are laughing all the way to the bank. Worst gaming community out there!
the view is always the same with ppl (and this applies to almost everything). an individual person does not feel they will make significant change and thus see no motive to take action. until a person sees they can actually achieve that change, it will be up to COD pretty much to choose to make the change or not
Why wouldnt I play? I dis not but it, just download it through Game Pass and even with all the problems in still melting lobby’s. I have a lot of fun for the money, not, spent as I have Game Pass Ultimate as a standard.
I’m hoping this was Treyarch trolling Activision to show Activision what the players want. At the end of the day, the devs want their art to do well, it’s Activision that will consistently pull for min-maxing their penny
IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING ISSUES WITH FRAMES WHEN ON STEAM AND LARGE PLAYER COUNT LOBBIES?!?! AKA 100 PLAYER BR OR PLUNDER ON BIG MAP BUT NO ISSUES WHEN 40 PLAYER “BOOTCAMP” ON BIG MAP. I’ll even have improvements once BR is in its final circles and there’s only like 30 players left. I’m on a top of the line PC, on Ethernet cable and average 20ish ping.
It seems like there's some kind of new over-aggressive lag compensation that works completely differently from old cods. Dying around a corner (with no wallbang icon in the killfeed!!) is so common
It's skill based damage causing some of these issues. With all the background processes going to nerf players real time, its causing these issues. Cold war has similar issues with skill based damage, it was obvious since the health bar was shown. It just didn't happen as often. Many times in cold war id be shooting and bullets would stop doing as much damage, or I'd be shooting and the enemies health bar dropped to like 1 and I hit them 3 or 4 more times and it stayed at 1. Hit reg issues maybe, but i generally think it's skill based damage.
@andreamaral9725 I think it is. Ive been playing cod for over a decade, done ranked, mp, zombies, all of it for hours a day. Cold war was the first cod that felt off to me. Then I played that until bo6, and I find it hard to believe it's just server issues and lag. I've lagged plenty and had plenty of server issues. It's never been like this. I know it's there, but I think they are symptoms of the skill based damage stuff going on. Thats my opinion. (Avg. 2kd in almost every cod since bo2 before anyone says skill issue, 1.5 in current cod due to all these issues and nerfing mid match / camo grinding)
@@ericholland32 we have had evidence that it doesn't exist a bunch of times. that theory has been disproven a bunch. it has always been chalked up to something else (like servers)
Let's also not forget that SOLO ZOMBIES is also hosted online only, which not only puts further strain on potatoes in their servers, but also introduces packet burst and hit detection problems in a PVE mode. I've had issues with my ping in Zombies jumping from 20 something to almost 180 once peak Warzone hours kicked in. 😂
@@JamesBennettGDesign he didnt expose anything. Skill based damage was disproven as a wild conspiracy theory even by tactical brit. He literally covered multiple claims by him in the past over the same issues
To add on to the servers, in my own experience with having gigabit fibre, a specific ping range is king and not just ping is king like they have previously stated. I frequently will shoot first and die first in a lot of scenarios even with 2ms ping. I never had these issues when it was between 15-20ms. There seems to be a sweet spot that their servers prefer where lag compensation works enough in your favour, but not so much it hinders you. I haven't had a single shoot first die first issue in any other shooter that I can recall.
This explains why I feel like demon before 5 PM. Once it hits night time in my location, my shots don't hit like they used to. I thought it was me, but I see now that it's them.
Me and some friends where screwing around having quick scope fights in bo6 customs and there where so many of these moments, probably 1/7 shots would show blood but no hit.
I don't like that the multiplayer side of the game can be so hard to read what I did wrong in the situation that I can't learn from it, and that is consistently been my experience since launch playing core multiplayer, as a result my faith in the product is basically nonexistent when I move on from the zombie camo grind I'm probably not coming back unless they actually address the issue with servers.
Incredible video! The FREUND clips are all we need, to see how fucked the game is. I am also starting to believe that the hit reg is also bad on the other end of the spectrum, with the insane ttk I experience being shot at.
"Clientside prediction" is the term, which is what i thing is going wrong here. Every game (client) uses it to compensate for the roundtrip of packets to ensure a fluid local experience. If implementation of server state and implementation of clientside prediction are not in sync it feels off and breaks the illusion off a shared simulation. Its a hard technical problem to get right, especially at this scale and amount of variables. Without clientside prediction you would basically have to wait for every response of the authority of gamestate(server) before giving new inputs and be content with massive corrections when packets got lost or delayed. Clientside prediction tries to assume a best case outcome in order to provide a client local responsive gameplay. Fighting games for example tried different approaches successfully, but their case is also different with there being just two players.
Been playing CoD for damn near 20 years now. This is pretty much the first one I’ve genuinely lost interest in playing because of all the issues. I gave a little grace at the start of this game’s life cycle because there are always things that need to be worked out (like bad spawns). But the game has been getting worse with every update. Only thing I’m currently playing is Prop Hunt. Just done with everything else. Sadly until there’s a massive drop off in player counts, I don’t think they’ll bother fixing the game.
8:40 I would notice playing around 7-9 pm which is peak evening playing time, that my connection turns to crap. My ping ranges from 40-70 with zero packet loss but my game is having sever lag symptoms where I’m skipping around and that my shots are not being registered. Even playing SOLO zombies around this time turns to crap as I’m skipping around the map “lagging” How the hell is it that call of duty still have these garbage servers after all these years…
What's crazy- is I would bet good money that they have alerts notifying them that the servers are over thresholds... Their servers should be cloud based as well, with scaling at a touch of a button. My suspicion is they won't do anything until player numbers / purchases start dropping...
Great video, again, highlighting the disappointment of this game and how they gaslight to to blame players. I have played only Warzone exclusively since it launched and I never thought I would say this, but I am genuinely over this game. I hope Battlefield nails their battle royale they are introducing because I am beyond excited to play a (hopefully) quality game that actually gives players what they want and not deal with a toxic corporation that blatantly lies to avoid spending money to fix their own problems and lie to their player base along the way. Absolutely abhorrent business behavior.
We need to talk about the pistols just pausing mid gunfight. Be pressing r2 repeatedly and the gun just jams and doesn't shoot anything for like 2 secs which just immediately makes u lose the gunfight.
Try playing the stakeout map on hardcore after 5pm, the server has no idea what's going on, and none of the clients have any idea what's going on. Everything is totally desynced. Sometimes this works in your favour and you have a kind of "god mode" enabled where no one can hit you and you can kill everyone before they can even react. Other times this works against you and you constantly die without being able to react, and your bullets don't register hits even at virtually point plank where there is 100% chance you were hitting the enemy. This is over my 900mb fibre to the home connection with a 7ms ping. Playing this map in the morning or afternoon mid week is a very different experience. You can still get desync happening but it's much less noticeable and happens less often.
I've gone back to MWIII MP and I can't say I've noticed any connection or desync issues since BO6 was released. The game feels really good to play and it's good to know gunfights are reasonably fair.
Worse thing is this somehow affects zombies. It’s frustrating, but in warzone it’s much worse. Getting the golf tiger camo for the SVD when you get constant no-regs was brutal
The quickest thing to make me stop playing the game is is desynchronization and I seem to notice it more and up close fights I haven't had really any of the long distance like blood splatter Noble at ridge issues mine are all up close fights
I'm not sure it coincides with this but recently Valve added an option to CS2 called damage prediction which essentially does what you are talking about at 4:00 where it essentially shows you that you hit the shot client side before confirming with the server and there was a lot of controversy on the topic. Perhaps its the same thing happening here?
It’s not just warzone. It’s happened multiple times to me in multiplayer. Had a game where I shot a guy with the Goblin, saw blood splatter, no kill, I ended up killing the guy, but just hit the record recent gameplay to get a double take… left the game immediately after
Its just a common trend in gaming, Studios dont put the time and money into servers (seems like COD servers havent been touched in a long time as it gets worse every year) locality in gaming is not a thing anymore as local servers aren't expanded nor are they looked after so the degredation to them is at an all time high (more prominent during peak hours) and you end up playing on foreign servers so the problem just continues as you're already at a disadvantage due to the latency to said servers (which probs aren't able to handle the incoming traffic as well as the same issues as local servers in terms of degredation) and then you have all the VPNers who overflood servers to which lessens the quality. But COD being COD they refuse to admit the fault because it means having to spend money fixing it so they'll just continue to gaslight the player base and act like the game is amazing in its current state on an engine thats on its last legs and even with BO6 having 4 years of supposed dev time means nothing as its just as buggy as the previous iterations lol.
This blood visualization vs actually hitting people issue reminds me very much of Halo 3. Happened a lot in that game, "bloodshots" were especially annoying with snipers. Problem is, that was from 16 years ago lol
Thank you. The game is absolutely unplayable most of the time. I get shot before the guy even shows up around the corner. It's extremely frustrating, I literally just ALT+F4 out of a match, because of the constant desync.
Have a look @ exclusiveace video explaining how the blood splat is on the client side and hit markers are server side so no hit marker no hit. It's like the blood splatter isn't accounting for bullet velocity so in all these cases the shot was not being led correctly.
the way i see it is activision are saying the player you're shooting at isn't actually in the location you're shooting (your client isn't showing you the true/current state). this means they are either in front or behind where your shots are - hypothetically what would have happened in that scenario if you had lead or trailed your shots? do your bullets start to hit? how does this work with auto aim on controllers?
If they’re correct and the person is ahead but you lead, I imagine you would suddenly kill the person and catch markers despite being in a “space” in front of them. If theyre behind and you trail them, you’ll get things like people making it past corners but people are still dying. Either way, the problem remains that there’s discrepancies between a what the server thinks should be happening and what each individual user is actually getting in terms of information on their screen. If they’re at hit scan range, i should have a very distinct idea where someone is. It wouldn’t even be that bad if the difference between one persons perspective of events and the others perspective weren’t so extreme.
Know what it looks like, is Ricochet when it gives the cheaters no hit code, any chance that the code has been affected and now unintended players are seeing this effect on a smaller scale.
There’s definitely something off with connection/servers in the beginning of bo6 it was playing just fine for me then a few updates later and im lagging, bullets wont hit, and im on ps5 hardwired connection mw3 had zero issues all year for me but bo6 is a nightmare

Very wierd reaction from activision. They're like 'I know the shot was perfectly lined up, the bullet visually hits the target and blood comes out but actually you didn't hit them and the blood wasn't supposed to be there". It's just nonsense.
It does makes sense. The Bullets you see flying out of your gun in most games are just a visual that has nothing to do with the real bullet the game registers. The thing is, that is still bad. Why add distracting visuals that give you wrong information? The only reason I can think of is that it uses less performance to just use fantasy bullet trails then it does calculating the real traces. CS:GO also had this "feature" but they finally implemented that the bullets you see are actually real.

In order to address the ongoing issues, it is imperative that we implement a temporary suspension of Call of Duty gameplay. This measure will serve as a catalyst for the developers to rectify the problems and provide us with a more satisfactory gaming experience.

You always add lots of value to the topic, appreciate it! Keep up with the work, we really need it!
But this is how Activision and BO6/WZ make their money now-by transforming players into customers and gameplay into a calculated business model.
This isn’t just a game anymore; it’s behavioral engineering at its finest. They’ve mastered the art of misdirection, making the community believe the game is broken so we focus on the "issues."
But the truth is hidden in plain sight. We’re so caught up trying to figure out what’s wrong with the game that we miss the bigger picture. These aren’t bugs-they’re features. Everything is intentional.
The whole game? It’s a carefully crafted scam.
As you said this is a very big net code issue and server infastructure issue, and I agree with what you said in your video. What I dont understand is why some COD content creators are trying to protray this server issue as Skill Based Damage and spread misinformation.
The misinformation is not just coming from Activision but it is also being spread as rage bait through the COD community.
Because they (Activision) have active patents on SBMM. Also, What makes you think there isn't more than one "issue" afoot? It could easily be both, heck, one could even go as far as to speculate that the netcode issues are indirectly being caused by all the behind-the-scenes manipulations.

Hit reg issues are bad enough, but I'm pretty sure the Sydney server is literally dying in front of us, and Activision aren't acknowledging it at all. Australian and New Zealand players regularly have to deal with all sorts of BS, from laggy unplayable games, to just being put in US lobbies. Even playing solo zombies I've watched my ping go from 30 ish up past 200, then getting a server disconnected error.

My girlfriend and I play off of the same internet and theres times where we're fighting people together and her bullets will work and mine wont or vice versa, typically in warzone but even in that horrible HVT gamemode it happens a decent amount.
They have no reason to make the game better, improve netcode, improve the servers or do anything. CoD will sell and break records every year, people will keep buying the game every year whether its good or bad. This company will only fix anything if they see a big enough decrease in game sales and player numbers, but the last few year have proven that is not going to happen.
And to compound all of these issues CoD has not had any real competition for years now and its shows, Battlefield was the only other FPS shooter that was close and even then the gap in sales and player count was huge.
Being a software developer for over 40 years, I know how difficult it is to get a comparable experience for players on difference hardware and connection latency/throughput.
They had this problem with CS on public server, however as soon as they allowed private hosted servers, owners ramped up the tick to over 100+ tick rate servers. CoD is moving much more complex data than any CS server, however this is their castle, they designed it, they architected it, however, scalable it is not.
Also work in the software industry, yes, it is indeed a challenging problem, incredibly difficult.
My issue is that it appears they’re not even TRYING to fix the issues.
Don’t you think it’s more likely that the visual blood splatter is on your local device, and then once they get that info, they pick and choose what % of your shots will hit? There’s stacks of proof already of them having Skill-Based Hit Registery, along with many other things to help noobs and nerf longtime fans. Like Skill-Based Team Matchups (veteran players being paired exclusively with new players) and Skill-Based Packet Bursts. These are all patented by the way if you don’t believe it.
@@ChantingInTheDark yes, they seem to prefer to pacify and plicate than admit the problem.
@@claytonkoubek5206 Yes, local blood mist is a local event. They're hopeing the mist + server response should tie in together, however it makes it worse.
I’ve noticed a frustrating issue in Warzone where hits don’t seem to register properly. Disabling visual and audio hit markers helped me cope, as it prevents the game from falsely showing that I’ve landed shots when the server doesn’t register them. Now, I’m also disabling blood spray effects to avoid seeing phantom hits, especially with snipers. This way, it’s less maddening when shots that should down an enemy just don’t count.

I stopped playing bo6 because im always getting nerfed im just too good and an veteran and im not in control of my own skill and that's the reason i stopped playing bo 6 scummy lying developers they deserve everythin that will come to them.

That's how hard i get nerfed so i stopped im not letting myself getting manipulated.
Good work Brit, spot on. Anyone with Duma OS, using their geo filter map and time and testing, can figure out this issue is also dependent on each individual server. The best ones ive found so far are surprise, surprise, Texas and Florida, where most of our streamers are playing on if they are not vpning. Atlanta, Washington DC, Jersey are all trash, and the chicago servers are loaded with most of the sweats in the NE region of USA.
They just don't want to fix their terrible Netcode and servers. In a way they are not wrong, you are not really hitting the targets, just on their servers, not on your screen.
The sooner people quit chalking it up to netcode like spergs the sooner we can get Activision to actually work on the real issue. The netcode and servers are fine, 60 and 20hz tick rates respectively are fine. The game runs buttery smooth right up until you start getting to the 1.5k/d mark and then they hit you with their version of R6’s mousetrap where latency is intentionally introduced.
If it were servers and netcode then the entire lobby would experience these issues simultaneously, but that isn’t the case.

Hit registration has been beautiful in that game for a while, I just get outplayed by literal children🤣🤣🤣
Every time I have some sort of server issue, my latency and packet loss doesn’t change in the slightest. The only icon I get is the “Disconnected” icon when the server shits itself… assuming it’s not a hacker that bombs the server and ruins it for everyone.
I stopped playing COD a few years ago now because of how toxic Activision are.
I would put my life on the reason you are experience laggy lobbies, hit detection etc is not because servers need updating or upgrading (or at least that may be part of the problem but not the whole) but the actual problem is more likely to do with Activision manipulating players in game in experience to help lesser skilled players or to keep most people playing the game overall.
These people are greedy and selfish, they constantly exploit their customer base, what makes you think they don't manipulate in game experience to give players a better experience at the cost of others...
They are never going to come out and admit it but we all know SBMM is in the game and that alone should be a reason for everyone to boycott it.
Imagine buying a game to play for fun, but the fun aspect has deliberately been manipulated out of the experience for you and replaced with sweaty, stressed, laggy lobbies.
God knows what other hidden algorithms and manipulations they use, for my own self respect I quit playing this trash, I would advise you do too, maybe then when their bottom line is hurt they might actually listen.
@TheTacticalBrit Thx for the video. Unfortunately, it's not just server issues in Warzone and BO6 multiplayer. The server issues are happening in the campaign as well. I had repeated lag, freezing and stuttering issues while playing through the campaign that made it extremely frustrating. It would happen so often, it was ridiculous. Now, for reference, I have a Gig fiber to home network, with NO packet drops and less than 21ms ping. It's crazy!!! 😠 This is quite unacceptable for a AAA game studio. The fact that they justify such poor server performance is criminal! At the very least, they are communicating to their player base that they really don't care about them. Somehow, I think we need to send a clear message to their pocketbooks that forces their hand to change things. There needs to be a reset from us as consumers as to what we will accept from them, and from them as a company where they prioritize their customer base.
Boycott the shop and find another game to play until they fix the game. That's all we need to do but most people can't handle that lol
I agree with you hundred percent all these all these players and streamers do is complain but do nothing to fix the problem. They have the same excuse everytime someone tells them not to buy the game which is they love the franchise. If you love the franchise so much help fix it by letting these greedy company know you wont buy thier game until fix it.
it's not even only in MP games either, if you go into the Firing Range (for me it was with SVD) sometimes shots will just go through the head of the target and do 0 dmg
Thank you for this. I don’t wanna hear anyone say Skill Base Damage exists anymore. I’ve told people it’s just CoD’s dog servers but they INSIST SBD exists just because a patent that has yet to be proven to be used in these games.
I believe part of it could have been caused over time from their “Hub” integration as well, due to multiple recent cod titles all over 90gbs, all running on the same server/hub shared data network causing a backup and lag that’s gotten worse with each title added to the hub. Previous to the hub these issues were way less common.
Why does current warzone looks so worst than mw 19 warzone
@@_bhuc3802 because every cod released after mw2019 objectively looks worse.

It appeared to have happened in COD's Frenzy tournament yesterday. In multiple matches players ate 30 bullets, followed by the next dying instantly. The hosts even talked about it, saying "what the hell gun was that, he died instantly". Only to realize it was the most common XM4

Exactly! The community cries and cries, makes videos about exposing the issues, cries some more, then continues to play the game. You all deserve to be lied too. They are laughing all the way to the bank. Worst gaming community out there!
Exactly
the view is always the same with ppl (and this applies to almost everything). an individual person does not feel they will make significant change and thus see no motive to take action. until a person sees they can actually achieve that change, it will be up to COD pretty much to choose to make the change or not

It seems like there's some kind of new over-aggressive lag compensation that works completely differently from old cods. Dying around a corner (with no wallbang icon in the killfeed!!) is so common
It's skill based damage causing some of these issues. With all the background processes going to nerf players real time, its causing these issues. Cold war has similar issues with skill based damage, it was obvious since the health bar was shown. It just didn't happen as often. Many times in cold war id be shooting and bullets would stop doing as much damage, or I'd be shooting and the enemies health bar dropped to like 1 and I hit them 3 or 4 more times and it stayed at 1. Hit reg issues maybe, but i generally think it's skill based damage.
@andreamaral9725 I think it is. Ive been playing cod for over a decade, done ranked, mp, zombies, all of it for hours a day. Cold war was the first cod that felt off to me. Then I played that until bo6, and I find it hard to believe it's just server issues and lag. I've lagged plenty and had plenty of server issues. It's never been like this. I know it's there, but I think they are symptoms of the skill based damage stuff going on. Thats my opinion. (Avg. 2kd in almost every cod since bo2 before anyone says skill issue, 1.5 in current cod due to all these issues and nerfing mid match / camo grinding)
@@ericholland32 we have had evidence that it doesn't exist a bunch of times. that theory has been disproven a bunch. it has always been chalked up to something else (like servers)

To add on to the servers, in my own experience with having gigabit fibre, a specific ping range is king and not just ping is king like they have previously stated. I frequently will shoot first and die first in a lot of scenarios even with 2ms ping. I never had these issues when it was between 15-20ms. There seems to be a sweet spot that their servers prefer where lag compensation works enough in your favour, but not so much it hinders you. I haven't had a single shoot first die first issue in any other shooter that I can recall.
This explains why I feel like demon before 5 PM. Once it hits night time in my location, my shots don't hit like they used to. I thought it was me, but I see now that it's them.
Me and some friends where screwing around having quick scope fights in bo6 customs and there where so many of these moments, probably 1/7 shots would show blood but no hit.
I've noticed this in the Zombies game mode as well, as I had blood splatter come out of zombies but no actual hit.
Great video thank you for the throughout testing and report
I don't like that the multiplayer side of the game can be so hard to read what I did wrong in the situation that I can't learn from it, and that is consistently been my experience since launch playing core multiplayer, as a result my faith in the product is basically nonexistent when I move on from the zombie camo grind I'm probably not coming back unless they actually address the issue with servers.
i thought it was just me that had crazyyy lag around 2pm-7pm
Incredible video! The FREUND clips are all we need, to see how fucked the game is. I am also starting to believe that the hit reg is also bad on the other end of the spectrum, with the insane ttk I experience being shot at.
"Clientside prediction" is the term, which is what i thing is going wrong here. Every game (client) uses it to compensate for the roundtrip of packets to ensure a fluid local experience. If implementation of server state and implementation of clientside prediction are not in sync it feels off and breaks the illusion off a shared simulation. Its a hard technical problem to get right, especially at this scale and amount of variables. Without clientside prediction you would basically have to wait for every response of the authority of gamestate(server) before giving new inputs and be content with massive corrections when packets got lost or delayed. Clientside prediction tries to assume a best case outcome in order to provide a client local responsive gameplay. Fighting games for example tried different approaches successfully, but their case is also different with there being just two players.
Been playing CoD for damn near 20 years now. This is pretty much the first one I’ve genuinely lost interest in playing because of all the issues. I gave a little grace at the start of this game’s life cycle because there are always things that need to be worked out (like bad spawns). But the game has been getting worse with every update. Only thing I’m currently playing is Prop Hunt. Just done with everything else. Sadly until there’s a massive drop off in player counts, I don’t think they’ll bother fixing the game.
8:40 I would notice playing around 7-9 pm which is peak evening playing time, that my connection turns to crap. My ping ranges from 40-70 with zero packet loss but my game is having sever lag symptoms where I’m skipping around and that my shots are not being registered. Even playing SOLO zombies around this time turns to crap as I’m skipping around the map “lagging”
How the hell is it that call of duty still have these garbage servers after all these years…
What's crazy- is I would bet good money that they have alerts notifying them that the servers are over thresholds... Their servers should be cloud based as well, with scaling at a touch of a button. My suspicion is they won't do anything until player numbers / purchases start dropping...
Great video, again, highlighting the disappointment of this game and how they gaslight to to blame players. I have played only Warzone exclusively since it launched and I never thought I would say this, but I am genuinely over this game. I hope Battlefield nails their battle royale they are introducing because I am beyond excited to play a (hopefully) quality game that actually gives players what they want and not deal with a toxic corporation that blatantly lies to avoid spending money to fix their own problems and lie to their player base along the way. Absolutely abhorrent business behavior.
We need to talk about the pistols just pausing mid gunfight. Be pressing r2 repeatedly and the gun just jams and doesn't shoot anything for like 2 secs which just immediately makes u lose the gunfight.
Try playing the stakeout map on hardcore after 5pm, the server has no idea what's going on, and none of the clients have any idea what's going on. Everything is totally desynced. Sometimes this works in your favour and you have a kind of "god mode" enabled where no one can hit you and you can kill everyone before they can even react. Other times this works against you and you constantly die without being able to react, and your bullets don't register hits even at virtually point plank where there is 100% chance you were hitting the enemy. This is over my 900mb fibre to the home connection with a 7ms ping. Playing this map in the morning or afternoon mid week is a very different experience. You can still get desync happening but it's much less noticeable and happens less often.
Good video, I didn't know you played controller with the legendary snow crab grip
I've gone back to MWIII MP and I can't say I've noticed any connection or desync issues since BO6 was released. The game feels really good to play and it's good to know gunfights are reasonably fair.
Worse thing is this somehow affects zombies. It’s frustrating, but in warzone it’s much worse. Getting the golf tiger camo for the SVD when you get constant no-regs was brutal
The quickest thing to make me stop playing the game is is desynchronization and I seem to notice it more and up close fights I haven't had really any of the long distance like blood splatter Noble at ridge issues mine are all up close fights
I'm not sure it coincides with this but recently Valve added an option to CS2 called damage prediction which essentially does what you are talking about at 4:00 where it essentially shows you that you hit the shot client side before confirming with the server and there was a lot of controversy on the topic. Perhaps its the same thing happening here?
It’s not just warzone. It’s happened multiple times to me in multiplayer. Had a game where I shot a guy with the Goblin, saw blood splatter, no kill, I ended up killing the guy, but just hit the record recent gameplay to get a double take… left the game immediately after
Its just a common trend in gaming, Studios dont put the time and money into servers (seems like COD servers havent been touched in a long time as it gets worse every year) locality in gaming is not a thing anymore as local servers aren't expanded nor are they looked after so the degredation to them is at an all time high (more prominent during peak hours) and you end up playing on foreign servers so the problem just continues as you're already at a disadvantage due to the latency to said servers (which probs aren't able to handle the incoming traffic as well as the same issues as local servers in terms of degredation) and then you have all the VPNers who overflood servers to which lessens the quality.
But COD being COD they refuse to admit the fault because it means having to spend money fixing it so they'll just continue to gaslight the player base and act like the game is amazing in its current state on an engine thats on its last legs and even with BO6 having 4 years of supposed dev time means nothing as its just as buggy as the previous iterations lol.
This blood visualization vs actually hitting people issue reminds me very much of Halo 3. Happened a lot in that game, "bloodshots" were especially annoying with snipers. Problem is, that was from 16 years ago lol
Thank you. The game is absolutely unplayable most of the time. I get shot before the guy even shows up around the corner. It's extremely frustrating, I literally just ALT+F4 out of a match, because of the constant desync.
Ohhhh after 5 years! You finally getting there
Bravo 👏🤦👏
that lady was straight up missing at 0:40 she was raising for drop that the gun doesn't have at that range anymore.
The community note on their tweet is so awesome.
Have a look @ exclusiveace video explaining how the blood splat is on the client side and hit markers are server side so no hit marker no hit. It's like the blood splatter isn't accounting for bullet velocity so in all these cases the shot was not being led correctly.
the way i see it is activision are saying the player you're shooting at isn't actually in the location you're shooting (your client isn't showing you the true/current state). this means they are either in front or behind where your shots are - hypothetically what would have happened in that scenario if you had lead or trailed your shots? do your bullets start to hit? how does this work with auto aim on controllers?
If they’re correct and the person is ahead but you lead, I imagine you would suddenly kill the person and catch markers despite being in a “space” in front of them. If theyre behind and you trail them, you’ll get things like people making it past corners but people are still dying. Either way, the problem remains that there’s discrepancies between a what the server thinks should be happening and what each individual user is actually getting in terms of information on their screen. If they’re at hit scan range, i should have a very distinct idea where someone is. It wouldn’t even be that bad if the difference between one persons perspective of events and the others perspective weren’t so extreme.
Know what it looks like, is Ricochet when it gives the cheaters no hit code, any chance that the code has been affected and now unintended players are seeing this effect on a smaller scale.
There’s definitely something off with connection/servers in the beginning of bo6 it was playing just fine for me then a few updates later and im lagging, bullets wont hit, and im on ps5 hardwired connection mw3 had zero issues all year for me but bo6 is a nightmare
