Call of Duty just issued a new statement on the matchmaking in Modern Warfare 4 following massive negative feedback from the COD community.
“Matchmaking isn't just data, it's a feeling.” Yeah, we know, that’s what we’ve been saying since MW19 came out 6 years ago!!!
Call of Duty is out here attempting to run damage control by mocking players upset with sbmm. WTF?
Please keep doing this, please keep digging that hole.
I hope all of you get fired
I hope everyone involved in developing, marketing, social media, interns involved with MW4 get laid off genuinely
All of these points are tone deaf
People are fed up of the constant gaslighting by Call of Duty. First they said the “new match making” was inspired by the classics after the success of the BO1/2 ports, now they’re seemingly going back on their word after people realised it’s clearly closer to the modern matchmaking than the old games???
They even bring up the debunked misleading white-paper they posted before to further support their claims, and bring up how BO1/2 matchmaking factored skill, which is did to some extent but nothing like the modern games.
This is why people flocked to the ports in the first place because there’s clearly a big difference.
I don’t know how many times the marketing team can get away with straight up lying to their audience. They know what they’re doing and think people are stupid.
People’s patience is wearing thin. BO7’s sales dropped a lot, and MW4’s aren’t looking too great either from rough estimates out there.
It really is sad how this franchise treats its fans. Call of Duty has delivered some truly phenomenal works of art over the years, there’s a reason it has such a dominant fan base, but the manipulative tactics they use to keep people hooked every year like crack addicts (all of us included) is just insane.
Black Ops 7 listened thanks to Battlefield taking a big market share but after that unfortunately crumbled they’re just back to the same old routine, now with a false mirage of “transparency”.
This franchise deserves so so so much better than the overlords who rule it.
I'm so done man...
7 years we've been fighting this war, and with BO7 I really thought we'd finally won it.
Turns out it was all just a marketing ploy to sell copies during a rough year.
For as long as we have SBMM, 6v6 COD MP is dead.
No interest in MW4 or BO7 (anymore☹️).
No chance the search times are down, they've increased and this is just bull crap, there's tons of videos showing people sitting waiting for ages for games to populate.
This is white paper crap again.
There is a clear disconnect between what players are experiencing and your analytics.
I have seen or heard any positive sentiment on matchmaking since your change
That statement is only driving players away from Modern Warfare 4

I’m so tired of everything being data driven.
You can look at a spreadsheet all you want and see numbers go up, but one day you have to look up at the product itself and see how much it’s been ruined
Listen to the community and think about why the data says what it does
There's no fucking way 🤣 "the initial batch of data is showing strong improvements with the new system"
Pack it up, Modern Warfare 4 is done https://t.co/PY7lfRnuCH
