I thought they were removing SBMM entirely from certain modes and playlists. Was that just another walk-back? Feels like they’re easing everyone back into the same system they promised to move away from. Typical CoD

My only worry is when they talking about non disbanding lobbies they say "keeping players together more often" it kinda concerns me

Playlists? Thought the whole game was meant to have minimal sbmm
Replying to @ModernWarzone
I really could care less. We got two new amazing games with Battlefield RedSec and Arc Raiders. I’m not spending my time playing CoDnite. Not this year at least. They lost.

Y’all in the comments don’t seem to understand it’s not getting “removed” it’s going back to what it once was. We’re going back to something that should have never changed in the first place 🫡

If I want to play against my skill, I will play ranked, but after a 12 hour day of work I can't keep up with ranked so this is shit
Replying to @ModernWarzone
but why don't you understand, like playlists and modes with minimally reduced sbmm it's not like the one in the beta because treyarch said it will be like matchmaking (standard) they are playlists like bo6 for example playlist nuketown 2025 moshpit season 1 etc...

But won't tell us exactly what's AI and what isn't. Swear they finally move 2 steps forward n then 4 steps back.

Like who is even asking for SBMM, it’s actually comical how hated that is in the community and how much they commit to it, very strange
Replying to @ModernWarzone
I thought they said minimal sbmm would be the base and no different playlists for it. this will just create that everyone who wants to get away from sbmm (better players) will just cue up against eachother and all the bad players will play in sbmm lobbies. this is a major L.
Replying to @ModernWarzone
I just would like to remind everyone that this is how it should have ALWAYS been. Thanks IW. Joey C in particular... And any other algorithm manipulation like your spawn system. I see it. It's still there in BO O7 guys. That's why it seems broken
Replying to @ModernWarzone
Persistent lobbies to keep players together in consecutive matches... "yeah that just means the sweats stay and the players that made the lobby fun get booted."

Yall crying but nobody from cod EVER told they will REMOVE sbmm. Its minimal sbmm like in the beta which is good. That 1 player from your sbbm in the opponent team would prolly be a good player anyways. And if you ahh then you cant even complain about sbmm.

I thought they said “open matchmaking” would be DEFULT. Now they’re making it a playlist? Not surprised they backtracked 🙄

Replying to @ModernWarzone
And what about their commitment to reducing aim assist? I noticed they stopped talking about it.
Replying to @ModernWarzone
Playlists? It was supposed to be the standard across all game modes
Replying to @ModernWarzone
As a 1.5 kdr player this sucks

You have the upper hand again don’t waste it
