Learn how to select a server in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer by understanding the server list, ping, and game types.

After selecting the "Join a Game" option, you will see the main server listing where you can choose which game to join. You can change the type of server (LAN or Internet) you want to search for by clicking the "Source" button and changing it to your desired type.

On the Server List, you will see the type of game the server is hosting, the map, the number of players currently in the game, the maximum number of players allowed, and the ping. The ping is the most important factor for deciding which server to join. Even if a server is hosting your favorite multiplayer map, a high ping will result in a very unenjoyable game due to significant lag. It is generally better to choose servers with a low ping, as they will provide a faster gameplay experience.

Tips
  • Prioritize servers with low ping to minimize lag and ensure a smoother gameplay experience.
  • Check the number of players and maximum players allowed to ensure you can join the game.
  • Understand that a high ping can make even your favorite maps unplayable.
