I figured i should probably post because this basically saved BO1 for me cause getting consistent low ping matches felt impossible with the current state of this port.

The Fix

When searching for a game, the regional expansion process is very fast. But there is a split second of grace.

If you get into a match the second “trying to join x matches” appears, you should get 4 bars. If it takes any longer than that, cancel and try again.

Your mileage may vary depending on where you live in the world.

But for any Aussies, this should definitely help you find good games more consistently.
