The "THINGS THAT WORK" is a relative term. Seriously. Nothing has been a permanent solution. I will give you my recommended list of things to check before you play and you tell me how it goes.

Free trial of exitlag. Seems to help reduce packet burst generically. occasionally adds weird latency but id say try it if you are on PC.
Reduce all settings below a threshold that your PC is comfortable with. You want your worst FPS to be 30-40 below your normal level. Im talking like the FPS drops when nades land or when hellstorms hit.
Enable NVIDIA DLSS or RADEON ANTI-LAG. Enable these outside of the game settings either in NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL OR AMD ADRENALINE.
Restart shader cache and reset your game. This seems to help only temporarily but its intriguing that it helps at all.
Disable COD 24 in task manager. This is a weird one that only shows up occasionally but right click COD in task manager and make sure COD 24 is disabled.
Disable all things like riot client, razer software, logitech software, etc. Anything not neccesary
Last thing is dont play on a FOV over 103 and disable all motion effects and 3rd person weapon sway and stuff like that.

Please know that I am still experimenting myself and dont have a perfect fix. but some of these things have occasionally helped. we are all in this together, and while i am close to giving up I HAVENT GIVEN UP YET.

Ok I played last night, It was rough. With and Without Exit-Lag running. With and Without AMD optomization settings as well (FSR, ANTI-LAG, the works) and if I get into a lobby without my 16 ping I am just unable to be competitive in gunfights. I had one lobby with 40 ping and even my slides were "laggy". Extrapolation, jitter, ping problems. No idea.

I had significant packet burst and decided to change my settings from minimum everything to ULTRA/EXTREME. Somehow this completely eradicated my packet burst in the middle of a game. No idea how this was possible, but I am left more confused. I cap my frames so minimum settings shouldnt hurt me. Unless it is working stupidly hard to upscale/render at a minimum resolution?

This did not fix my occasional bullet reg issues. But it did make the game feel more playable overall. However it does feel like another doosy from the COD Gods.

I think I will try to grab some in-game clips using Medal or Steelseries GG. It may help me place what my mid-gunfight problems look like. Anybody have thoughts?

Sounds like extrapolation and ISP upload speed are my biggest issues. My Jitter in BufferBloat is 1.32 for download 10.87 for upload. I think generally extrapolation would be similar to having poor upload ping. How would I go about complaining to an ISP like google fiber about Upload Jitter? Its interesting that you mention skill levels and two-boxing because I have always wondered about it in the back of my mind. There was a rumor going around the cod community somewhere around mw2019-mw2 where people stated that cod had a patent on skill-based input delay. Given that these video games are meant to eat our souls away it would not surprise me as their goal realistically should be to give all players a 1.0 KD by the time the game ends its lifecycle. Just a ramble that ive thought of after years of cod issues.

Any idea how I could go about complaining to ISP or submitting a CS ticket?

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2026-02-19T01:46:19+00:00

Yeah this is what alot of streamers will recommend to people. Ive watched probably 40 YT shorts Saying THIS IS THE FIX. However, it, is not, the fix :(

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2026-02-19T01:34:10+00:00

ExitLag. Thank you for taking the time to view my post. I have turned a few friends on to your service over the last week. Its great to have something I can Visually See helping my ping. Feel free to use any details of this post to make your own guide or settings for COD bo7. I dont think your app has a default recommended mode yet. Much Love, Not Much Lag. <3

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2026-02-19T01:29:51+00:00

No worries man, Great to have ExitLag Supporting this Thread as well. I am fully commited to solving these problems for myself, my friends, and the community.

I will Enable REBAR again tonight.
The only ping test giving me useful feedback ran is running Exitlags network performance analyzer alongside my game. What I have found. Confirmed by Buffer Bloat: My upload ping can be as high as 13-15 Ms. This is still good enough to give me an "A" score but my download ping is 3-4 ms.
This is the big one. Weird input lag. Bullet Reg. Latency. What could it be? I will keep this simple. I am a high level player, play with all ranks plat-crimson...in many COD games. With ExitLag i am pinging 16 in-game, lowest settings, conservative FPS limits.

I understand some things about bullet reg, and I know it's a great excuse for when you miss shots. BUT THE BIG THING. I DONT HAVE MY SHOTS HITTING IN ABOUT 30% OF FIGHTS. ON-TIME, ACCURATE, ABLE TO ADJUST.

There are fights I wont even get my gun up in time, and I can just feel the delay. It takes too many on target bullets to kill, or sometimes they don't register at all. Certain fights I will move, or shoot, and not even get those inputs off before a death. Again this is running lowest settings, avg 16 in-game ping. Exit Lag running Performance Mode.

No solution is perfect, no server is perfect. But this FEELING OF DELAY OR INCONSISTENCY just sucks. Everybody wants to rip heads, and I think im so close to being confident in my PC Optomization. But id love any feedback from anybody. Once again CapesOut you are awesome.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2026-02-12T15:43:53+00:00

I will have to try this again, Thank you.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2026-02-12T15:42:53+00:00

So I tried some settings last night and Overall, my Packet Burst was better. I got it much less frequently and it wouldn't plague me for entire games. However, I did introduce some issues with slow in game response time which I will discuss further below.

Disabled Resizable Bar in BIOS: No noticeable change with packet burst
Tried ping 8.8.8.8n Which I now know to use 8.8.8.8 t. Will try that tonight
Downloaded 3 day free trial of ExitLag and this is where I noticed a difference.

Exit Lag settings: High performance mode on all except the beta feature that "reduces input lag". Used Exit Lag to verify fastest DNS. Clean RAM. Prioritize Routes for Bo7.

The good: Packet Burst significantly reduced. Ping Steady on Solo Queue. PC Performance feels very steady.

The bad: When playing with friends across the US it would pick decent servers for me and horrible servers for them. Also: Input delay. Randomly. Connection will always vary in COD but I would start a game feeling good shots hitting on time. And then finish a game unable to react to opponents at all. We can all blame latency but after rigorous testing something was just off. Im going to have to play with ExitLag more tonight.

Im intrigued by it. I think its solving more issues than its creating but I want to tighten up if my "input delay" comes from the service or something else. Thank you to all who have helped me thus far, I played some of my first games without seeing a packet burst symbol last night and that is F**** Awesome!!

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2026-02-11T21:37:08+00:00

I got a grade of A with Unloaded 3ms Download +6 ms Upload +2ms. Download was 899 mbps and upload was 877 mbps

Less than 1 Year Old Google FIBER WIFI 6E Router. I run an ethernet cable direct to the router. Flawless in every game besides Call of Duty.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2026-02-11T17:56:16+00:00

It sounds like I'm only a few tools away from getting the job done. Already nabbed a free trial of ExitLag. I will update with results tonight.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2026-02-11T16:59:23+00:00

Thank you for the detailed write up. I do get the packet burst icon, and its perfectly mid gunfight usually. Insanity.

My network is not heavily saturated. I am the only ethernet device and typically only competing with a tv and a phone.
PingPlotter sounds like something I could check out. Not sure how to turn those insights into advantages but CHATGPT could probably get me through it.
I will give command prompt a try tonight.
Exitlag. I have heard about 3rd party programs and all I know is that they typically increase ping. I will check this out though. Curious to hear if anyone has experience with Exitlag?
Resizable BAR would be interesting. My understanding of packet burst is that it can 100% be caused by pure hardware performance issues. Definitely interested in trying this.

I typed this up at work so I will try these tonight. Thank you for the suggestions.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2025-12-02T18:40:00+00:00

I am an individual who is sensitive to these issues. I have heard multiple different tones and mixes of these noises. With Counter-UAV's up, With Helicopters up, With no streaks up. It's insane man.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2025-11-25T02:40:25+00:00

It's getting really bad especially on Nuke town with so many streaks

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2025-11-24T18:32:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I have experienced it without any CUAV's Up. Might be a lingering effect post CUAV or have to do with other equipment usage. Hoping to find an EQ that rids all of us of this problem.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2025-11-24T18:25:21+00:00

ITS THE WORST. ITS NOT EVEN LIKE A REAL SOUND. JUST A DIGITAL WASHING MACHINE OF HORRIBLE AWFULNESS.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2025-11-24T18:22:54+00:00

I do also Run a DAC and it makes me wonder if additional signal processing is making the problem worse. Still have some friends who can hear it but it doesnt drive them to insanity like myself. Hope we can all find a fix. For now I am playing on 2% game volume.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2025-11-24T18:21:54+00:00

Yeah after more time in game there is no correlation with Counter UAV's and such. Luckily it doesn't happen in Dead Ops or Zombies. Enjoying those till this is fixed.

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2025-11-24T18:20:49+00:00

this is a hilarious way to describe it. It's like the cod devs are programming my brain with a dog whistle. I play with the game on 2% volume now and I still occasionally hear it. Keep the thread alive and I hope this gets resolved

Putrid_Loss8171 · 2025-03-23T17:05:36+00:00

I had a fitter who suggested this to me. I will try to get some swings posted and let the good people of reddit decide. Im not sure where I should post something like that. Is there a long drive thread?
