๐TESTING:
From June 9th to June 23rd we will be conducting the following test in Ranked:
Ranked will be solo queue only for all players Diamond and above. If you are Diamond or higher, you will not be able to squad up as a premade in Ranked.
Our hypotheses are that this will create more evenly matched high-skill lobbies, reduce hard-carries into Diamond, Master and Predator and build trust in the overall fairness of these matches.
While this is a commonly requested feature by portions of our community, we will be closely monitoring community sentiment and match data.
Note: The in-game notification that some encountered yesterday (May 19th) was a visual error, and players are currently still able to squad up without restrictions.
Pls lower the fucking sbmm in casual game modes, i have not been a pred in ranked yet the only mfers I am facing are macroing or preds.... holy fuck cant casually play....@PlayApex
"I also saw the most recent ARC Raiders update and I thought it was dogsh*t I'll speak candidly... in my opinion they are kind of gearing the game towards PvE, which is totally fine... I personally don't like that"

Update on yesterday's video regarding matchmaking in Black Ops 7. I've been in contact with Treyarch and they've been looking into the matches I was testing on my accounts. They've reiterated to me that nothing has changed with the matchmaking at all compared to the open matchmaking in the beta, however, they stated the player demographics and playlist selections are very different in the full build vs the Beta. So the discrepancy that many of us have had with our experience in the Beta vs at Launch is most likely due to these factors. This is something I noted in the video as a potential reason for this and I believe that it's the case after discussing things with them. I'm hoping to see something official come out after the Thanksgiving break so you don't just have to take my word for it but time will tell.

Battlefield 6 (includes BF6 and REDSEC) fell to #5 on PlayStation and #4 on Xbox
ARC Raiders moving up the console charts
Feels good would almost be a 9. But the "open" sbmm feels like a lie 19/20 times and feels like we were lied to. Therefore it gets a 6,not a pro shouldnt scrim almost every game
Endgame is now available in the Co-Op Campaign mission select menu for all #BlackOps7 players!
Choose your Operator, customize your Abilities, power up to earn Skills and upgrades, then fight your way through the zones and escape to keep your progress. Fail, and lose it all.
