Hello the slayer_5707,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble finding a multiplayer match in Black Ops 3. There are a few possible reasons why your NAT type is moderate inside the game, which can affect your matchmaking ability. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:

- Restart your console and your router/modem. Sometimes this can refresh your network settings and improve your NAT type.

- Check your network settings on your console. Go to Settings > Network > Network settings and test your multiplayer connection. If you see any errors or warnings, follow the on-screen instructions to resolve them.

- Enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on your router/modem. This can help your console communicate with other devices on the network and open the necessary ports for online gaming.

- If UPnP is not available or does not work, you may need to manually forward some ports on your router/modem. You can find the port numbers for Black Ops 3 here: Ports Used for Call of Duty Games (activision.com)

- If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact your internet service provider and ask them to change your NAT type to open or at least moderate.

It definitely could still be your moderate nat type.

With a moderate nat type youd be able to join other specific players who have an open or moderate nat type and join games if that other person is the host of the party but you could run into issues finding matches when you are by yourself.

Per: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...erate NAT: You might not,the host of a match.

Open NAT: You're able to play and host multiplayer games with people who have any NAT type on their network.

Moderate NAT: You might not be able to play multiplayer games with some people, and normally you won't be chosen as the host of a match.

Strict NAT: You're only able to play multiplayer games with people who have an OPEN NAT type. You can't be chosen as the host of a match.

Sounds like it might be a NAT issue

With an OPEN NAT type, you’re able to chat with other people, as well as join and host multiplayer games with people who have any NAT type on their network.

With a MODERATE NAT type, you’re able to chat and play multiplayer games with some people; however, you might not be able to hear or play with others, and normally you won’t be chosen as the host of a match.

With a STRICT NAT type, you’re only able to chat and play multiplayer games with people who have an OPEN NAT type. You can’t be chosen as the host of a match.
