I have it set to best connection to try to get games where theoretically I should have the best ping rate possible (in BO1 this was "locale only"). I'm usually playing with a 15-18 Mb/s download rate and a 1.6 Mb/s upload rate and I generally have 4 full green bars in any matches going on and that should be more than enough to have a decent game. See the problem is that unlike MW2, when you knew being host would mean you'd murder everyone, in this it's actually the opposite and being host means it's going to be a battle. I think that the measures they've put in to balance out the ping speeds are basically broken so that invariably people with a worse connection actually do better and it's exacerbated by the bonkers match-making from all over Europe. In MW2 also the match search would tell you it was trawling through games under a certain ping speed. I don't know how this works. The worst part is, much of the time when the game is playable, I know it's probably factoring the other way and I'm being given an advantage over some of the other players. There's genuinely over a second of difference in what players are seeing on their screens and I refuse to believe it's down to my connection being too poor, so I would guess that this is down to a deliberate attempt to help people with shite connections.
