It is almost time for the sequel to the 2019 reboot of Modern Warfare to come out. Modern Warfare 2 will release on October 28th. While you are waiting for the game to drop, this is a great time to start thinking in advance about what you are going to do to minimize lag on Modern Warfare 2. This post will go over some easy recommendations for how to reduce Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 lag.
Lag Was a Problem for Some Gamers in the Modern Warfare 2 Beta
Many gamers who played the multiplayer beta for Modern Warfare 2 in mid to late September reported a smooth experience with a fast connection. But there were people who reported they were suffering from high lag and ping times. These gamers had a hard time keeping up with their opponents, who would often shoot them down as they were waiting for their slow connections to catch up.
Naturally, those who experienced these problems have some concerns about what they can expect when the game releases in late October. Will they still be dealing with lag? If so, is there anything they can do to have a better experience than they did with the beta?
How to Reduce Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Lag
It is quite likely that at least some players who had lag issues during the beta were on systems that did not meet the minimum game requirements. Naturally, computers that are not equipped with the latest technology are going to have a hard time keeping up with the high demands of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. If that is the situation you are in, a good starting point for fixing your lag problems is to upgrade your PC.
Getting a Modern Warfare 2 lag reducer is a good next step to take. LagoFast is a program that can significantly reduce lag and get you up to speed in Modern Warfare 2. It does this by optimizing your settings and shutting down unnecessary background processes, reducing your ping.
It is certainly possible to do all of this manually one step at a time. You can individually alter settings and shut down programs. But that is really time-consuming, and you still might fail to optimize the game. So, a lag reducer is a great shortcut. It can produce effective results, and let you get right to gaming.
With lower lag, other players will be less likely to have an unfair advantage over you. That means you can really let your skills shine and climb the leaderboards effectively.
Don’t Wait to Order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Speaking of lag, you should not lag behind in ordering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (see what we did there?). Pre-ordering Modern Warfare 2 lets you access the campaign up to a week before everyone else. Pretty cool, right?
Editions you can purchase on PC include the Standard Edition and the Vault Edition. Those you can buy on console include the Cross-Gen Bundle and the Vault Edition. With the Vault Edition, you pay a higher cost, but you receive the Ghost Legacy Pack, the Red Team 141 Operator Pack, the FJX Cinder Weapon Vault, and the Battle Pass + 55 Tier Skips. With so many extras included, the Vault Edition is a solid value.
Waiting for October 28th, it is hard not to get impatient. But at least by the time the game launches, you should be all set with reducing lag. As you wait for the game to release, be sure to check our Call of Duty news page for more news and updates.
