Call Of Duty Has Stopped Pretending…The SBMM

7:40
Hey Activision heres a fun fact: Ive played Call of duty religiusly from Cod 4 up until Cod Ghost. Came back to MW 2019 and was on and off again.
How many days did i play the new MW3?
1 day. Biggest waste of money of me life. Was spawn camped to Hèll.
Couldn't believe the amount of sweating i was experiencing. Im a sweaty my self but damn, it was my first day, let me get my beaeins in.

“Connection”. Yeah explain why I’m searching for 200 ping for 5 minutes to sweat every single game.
I have 1 gig internet and should NEVER be searching for 200 fucking ping lobbies.

Matchmaking was much better on MW2 and Black ops 4. Now, it is constant swear lobby’s. I have to basically snort a line of crack if I want a chance in any lobby. I is not semi relaxed like it used to be.

I would be fine with SBMM if lobbies were still persistent.

Nobody plays Call of Duty games so why are you making a video about it? Seems like a waste of time to me

Blatant lies the better I do the worse my ping is. They just creating a safe space for noobs. I have been playing since cod 2 and cod is nowhere near as fun as it used to be.

Its wild they say that SBMM keeps players engaged more, SBMM literally killed CoD for me, and im far from the only person who has quit playing for that reason. Its the reason i dont play Warzone anymore. As an adult with a job and a life i dont have time to sit and grind my skills, and i always got thrown into lobbies with players of my skill AND HIGHER. It makes for a very demanding, frustrating experience when youre just trying to jump in for a few casual games. SBMM has no place in public lobbies and should be strictly reserved for ranked style play, or those that want the extreme challenge, it should not be forced on every player.

I haven't played since the mw2 mw3 days.
My brother got me on dmz not long ago. Absolutely love it. Just to find out they aren't making anything else for it lmao.
So once that's done it's back to not playing COD anymore.

Only other thing COD I would play is a mw2 or 3 remaster with the multi-player mode. Not the story bs they did with mw2.
Guess they know people would prefer that over all their new stuff.

IMO, The COD franchise, specifically multiplayer, has become a trash twitch shooter after COD 4: Modern Warfare from 2007.

I have never had any problem with the way they base matchmaking. I'm rarely not in the top 3 and i'm often first. I guess git gud?

The giving players proportionated wins and losses experiences is a whole mess that's not at all easy to untangle. And part of it is the players' fault. From the noobs who want wins without investing any effort to improve and get good to the high skill players that whine about others sweating, which means finding players capable of beating them. The biggest issue perhaps is that: too many players only want a bullshit experience of curbstomping lesser skilled players to fool themselves into thinking they're like gods and too few do enjoy being challenged, beating the challenges when doing things well and, when not, lose to them and learn from them and get better until eventually they've moved from being the newb everyone curbstomps into performances at the level of the top players and winning the singular scores against the top players in the enemy team.
I wrote that before finishing the video. So, one final thing: the casual vs competitive, my answer to that is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The competitive crowd is the most whiny, whimpy and casual of all. I'll tell you my experience in another game when it started have clan vs clan ranked matches. So, I always have considered myself casual. And there were a bunch of "competitive" players in the clan I joined, though not that many. As a gesture of respect to the clan I decided to sign to be available to join their ranked matches if they only had four "competitive" players to help them and allow them having the matches. We make a party and this is how it goes: someone says "this top level clan is queueing", my casual ass "Good, what are we waiting for? Let's go show them we're better!"; the competitive players "nooooo, they'll beat us, wait till they get a match so we can get a low ranked clan team for an easy win, waaaah waaaaah". Fucking hell, and they are the ones who claimed to be competitive. From seeing videos and reading from other players, that's kind of the mindset of the so called "competitive" players. Just a bunch of wussies that want easy wins to artificially inflate their results to a level they don't deserve or are not willing to prove they deserve. Meanwhile casual me is wanting to prove my actual skill and get to where I can beat the top players.
I also find kind of appalling the conclusion. WTF skill shouldn't be part of a skill based match making? WTF Magnus Carlsen should be having the chance to play a five year olds bracket? Of course skill got to be considered! And KDR! And recent form, though that's more debatable! No, the goal of any decent skill based match making is to set the two teams with players of as similar skill level as possible. That said, I think it's also important to leave room for the chance of getting a match of a group of low levels against a group of top levels, because when that happened in FAO it served me to jump one or two skill level tiers. First I went from crap player (reaching 10 kills was a 'good' match) to average player (can get regularly around 15 and some times even reach 20) to top player (40+ kills often, get more kills than deaths when engaging against the top players of the server playing on the enemy team, gets hackusated more and more).
Sorry for wall of text.

I think the skill-based match making, even if flawed, conceptually makes sense tho. So what am I missing? As a noob & solo & I quit DMZ because it was overwhelming and so was BR & other modes.
I love MWZ because at least I can play, make progress and achieve something.

So wins and loses are supposed to be more balanced but when you constantly throw me in a lobby with bad players against a full sweat squad doesn’t seem very balanced.

strange that connection is hte most important thing they say…. but if you are playing well you get packet burst ALOT

I feel that only good players complain about sbmm. For me as an average player i would prefer to play against people at a similar skill. PUBG doesn't have sbmm and i have stopped playing that game because i get absolutely owned.

This isn't related to the video, but I wanted to ask you a question, LtBuzzLiteBeer:
Have you ever done voice acting?
The reason I ask is because you sound like the voice in the "Private Murnahan's Holotape" found in Fallout 4 at Fort Strong.
Doppleganger voice, if not.

Correct me if Im wrong, but SBMM is term coming from COD devs themself.
I played MW on PC in 2007, no SBMM, pure fun, admins did their job, server was as good as its admin.

I still feel like performance IS the dominant factor that puts us in our lobbies. My dad loves playing MW3 when he’s done with paperwork. Sometimes when I’m at my parents house, I’ll hop on and click whatever playlist he had on. I rarely play CoD and I SMACK everyone’s ass in the lobbies. Makes me feel like an esports player with how bad his lobbies are.

I absolutely hate the “experience wins and loses proportionately” line.” It’s be nice to just go in a lobby, kick everyone’s ass, or have someone kick my ass. Having even teams is so boring.

Its just trash game with trashier net code sound and laggy servers

Personally, I look at it under the assumption that they've had comparable sbmm since cod 4, but since the lobby disbands after every game the game looks for equally skilled players each and every match. Comparing this system to that of the old days with lobbies that stayed together, the game only has to match you with players when you first look for a match as well as if you back out and go back to the menus. In the old days if you were getting stomped a couple games in a row you probably left the lobby to re-roll your odds at getting a less sweaty game, You then got matched with players in easier lobbies thus creating a larger margin of error and more variety. This caused you to stick around for a while before eventually changing lobbies and re-rolling who you get matched with. Modern cod sbmm matches you with players that match you performance EVERY GAME. Which leads to a more accurate assessment of everyone's performance and a very small margin of error which creates less variety where every game seems super sweaty.

Therefore I assume that disbanding lobbies exaggerates the effects of sbmm and sucks the life out of modern cod.

Won't touch the franchise with 10ft pole with current sbmm/eomm.There's no reason to play when you get actively punished for improvement.

A lot of bigger voices in the community have been saying this for years—it’s not SBMM, it’s EOMM. The entire experience is a slot machine designed to drip feed you dopamine to keep you playing as long as possible.

Everyone wants to pubstomp because they're ass..the dudes that cried screen watching in goldeneye. Nobody is forcing you to play, move on
