"They catered warzone to the streamers and sweats"
They nerfed dropshot, bhop, strafe speeds, crouch spam, snaking & omnimovement. They added a jump ADS delay, added a massive weapon bob affect to jump shotting, added 3 casual modes & a bootcamp mode, removed PRD's and portable balloons, lowered the TTK, gave everyone soft aimbot, increased headshot multipliers, added strict SBMM/EOMM... and you think streamers/sweats asked for that? 🤣
Queue times are longer than OG CODs by a lot. Ping is worse than ever. Team balancing it has in place side by side leads to good players carrying bad players and still losing thus quitting. The only mode where you don’t feel like you’re getting fucked for being a good player is ranked and even then there’s hidden MMR and cheaters.
They're lying to you. It's supposed to create sales. Not retention. And until we hear the engineers explain exactly what the match making algo is optimized for nothing they say matters. When it comes to designing systems like this, you may have a certain intent, but it's really hard to prove if that system is actually optimized for that outcome
Not sure how the SBMM system in place for Call of Duty can be looked at as anything other than a total failure if the bad/casual players it’s supposed to be protecting want even MORE protection from the better skilled players.
The narrative that "old games are fast because no one plays them" is annoying. It's only thanks to SBMM that it takes 1-5 minutes now. The beauty of the internet is we can go back and see how things *really* were, we don't have to go off just memory https://t.co/QfNPOSAr0p
Remember when their “study” said this wasn’t true and that you could find matches in the new games with EOMM just as fast as you could in the old games without EOMM? Lmao
@chhopsky@heithyboi You’re never gonna win me over saying what you said in the last part when there’s so much proof of those exact things happening in the current system… here’s an example off top of my head.
“i dunno about you but i dont really want to be thrown into a match where the outcome was randomly decided before i even got to play.” Ironic cause this happens in several of the recent COD games when you’re a good player and solo queue. Way too many matches have it where I get 5 shitty players who drop barely double digit kills and the other team all have 20-30 even 40 kills spread amongst each other and win the OBJ/game from the get go. Are you telling me the system doesn’t know what it’s doing?
I gotta get back into Fortnite or another game, I can't handle being punished for making myself good at a game anymore lol.
I have 40 hours in CoD in the last 2 months, I have 500 hours on Delta Force in the same period. I can't stand the matchmaking of that franchise anymore.
What’s crazy about Ghosts is that when it released, it was certainly the worst COD of all time.
But if it released now?
• No SBMM
• Insane DLC maps
• $2 camos + character skins
• Map-exclusive killstreaks
• Map levolution
• Unique alien survival mode
…idk bro🤔
SBMM has ruined social gaming completely.
If you want to play with friends that are on a lower skill level to you, you’ll be the one expected to carry & the game will be miserably imbalanced, it’s a boring slog for the better player. Your friends will also be struggling against the uprated opponents.
A random experience with ping being the main focus will always be better in non-ranked lobbies
@I_AM_WILDCAT While using AI to make dogshit content & manipulate the player base with optimized matchmaking to spend more money on the game. Gaming is COOKED! It’s a rotten carcass of what it once was. Every game I play now feels soulless. But hey, maybe I’m just old now and need to retire 🤷♂️
@TheseKnivesOnly@NerosCinema Getting rid of rematches is what killed it for me. I get SBMM requires a new lobby every game but what it did was make wins worthless and the players incredibly toxic. To combat toxicity they added voice moderation and that was the coffin nail.
Slippery slope of bad decisions.
@NerosCinema I think majority of us want it to go back to how lobbies were in BO4 and before. Unfortunately they’ve made it clear that’s never gonna happen. Since MW2019 I’ve had to accept that this is a job and no longer a fun hobby turned into a job. Get on, get my footage and get off.
