To get the best connection in Call of Duty Black Ops 7 you need to be playing on the best game servers. This is where we come in, every time a new Call of Duty launch we test the game and report the server locations, and this year is no different. We have tested the open beta to find the best Black Ops 7 server locations.
What are the Best Black Ops 7 Servers?
The best Black Ops 7 servers to connect to will be the ones closest to you. This is because the distance between you and the game server will determine your ping in-game. The further away the server you connect to, the longer it takes you game data to reach it which causes your ping to increase.
Call of Duty always has a very solid spread of servers, so most players should have at least one or two servers that will give them a great connection. Although matchmaking systems may cause you to connect to higher ping servers to better match your skill level or to get you into a game faster.
How to Select the Best Black Ops 7 Servers
The only way to control what servers you play on in Black Ops 7 is the Geo-Filter on the Netduma R3 gaming router. This powerful feature lets you force connection to the best low ping servers, whilst blocking far away higher ping ones.
The Geo-Filter works by creating a customisable filter radius that blocks connection to servers outside of it. Using the server locations from this blog or from the Ping Heatmap feature, you can adjust your filter radius to only include low ping servers.
If you want to see the Geo-Filter in action, or just learn more about the feature, we have a full video guide on our YouTube channel that you can check out here.
Black Ops 7 Server Status
Even if you connect to the best servers in Black Ops 7, if they are overloaded or experiencing issues your connection will be negatively effected. This could include issues logging into to online services, higher base ping or an over all inconsistent connection.
If you are experiencing a sudden influx of lag, or you're playing at peak times, it could be worth checking the Black Ops 7 server status. We have included links below to check the status of the servers.
Unfortunately, if the servers are experiencing issues or are overloaded, there's no direct fix. Its up to the game developers to fix or update the servers. Knowing the reason for your connection issues is the game servers will save you time troubleshooting your own network.
