You know what's worse? I still see people saying BO2 is the best COD although it introduced everything ppl are complaining about right now. I think I need a tinfoil hat, because I'm convinced 2012 the world end and we popped up in some twisted parallel universe.

Sad thing is , the live nurfs on account is the thing ruins the experience. When I play I shot first and I lose without missing a single bullet. And some times its totally different. I win gun fights which I was supposed to loose . This needs to stop

I'm convinced that it's not actually live nerfing, but it's the result of them choosing the cheapest network path between players while deciding who to pair in the same lobby, its all for the sake of money and we get inconsistencies I think it seems like it's targeted to specific players but I'm realizing it's the worse players that don't notice it and tell you its a skill issue etc, you are above a certain skill level so you tend to notice the connection issues and stutters more than the average player unfortunately most players are average to below and will say tinfoil hat when what you are saying holds weight even if it isn't technically exactly the way they're accomplishing the same result of you having an inconsistent "competitive" experience where your gunfights come down to RNG alot of times

I think they should just make everything "Ranked". It's an organic way of match making that will pair you up with other players of similar skill. It's transparent in it's implementation. Just make ranked the standard game mode.

Welcome to the live service model that. EA Activision and so many other publishers have been wanting for quite a while since Fortnite introduced it.

They’re all honestly copying tech companies that started software as a service before them, I think they’d still be doing loot boxes if it wasn’t legislated against Fortnite really set the trend with micro transactions though but at least they’re more “reasonable” with pricing etc

You're right and that's where the shadow ban system comes in, you have someone stomping everything you throw at with sbmm he's constantly getting better then let's jail them fork a week, and adjust their sbmm to the maximum still winning ? Shadow ban again crack up, rinse a repeat until the player doesn't want to play no more.

Funny enough, I used to get shadow banned on ground war on modern warfare, 2019 and my ping would shoot up to 200 and not find matches for a week (it didn’t kick you mid match the way that it does now) but now it seems the shadow banning happens more in warzone to protect a larger number of players whereas on ground war now I’m noticing they’re putting me in servers with all foreign players where ping is basically unplayable I think because of Activision being less able to control matchmaking on ground war, they’re not adding new maps etc to try to kill off the mode (it also prob isn’t that popular) but they kept adding maps on 2019 and on mw2 so idk, there seems to be enough people on Reddit who wish there were new maps but nobody talks about it on twitter (diff age groups likely)

Fookin nailed it. Good players are bad for business. It’s so obvious when you play. The most obvious thing, and my own theory… dropping the 2nd (or 3rd) target is exponentially more difficult. Even when you get the first guy without taking a single round yourself, the next guy can eat more bullets and dish more bullet damage. Hands down.

I also noticed after I do really well the very next match my input feels delayed, regardless of what the ping… I usually look at the scoreboard and somebody in the lobby has 200 ping which leads me to believe that I’m getting input delay added to make up for the fact that somebody from really far away is in my lobby lol

Great video, i think you hit the nail on the head. In my opinion and from what i’ve seen, cod “fixes” ranked matches and even ranks so that less skilled players play against less skilled players, even in higher ranks. There is certainly a financial benefit to keep the less skilled players away from the highly skilled players. Cod has all but said it themselves that the less skilled players are more likely to leave games and give up cod if they loose too much.

most online ranked games unfortunately have a hidden MMR system designed to hook players in, this is why you win 5 games, get SR or whatever the rank system is then you lose all that progress in 1 game while paired with teammates in over their heads against a fully stacked team I think they match fix even in unranked games, that is why I play mostly ground war unless i am playing warzone with a friend (you really start to notice the connection issues on those)

@@dartlinfps They rig unranked games too. If you actually read the patents and shit, you would see it's not SBMM. It's anything but SBMM, to the point where SBMM is not actually used in modern games. Game companies love it when players assume it's SBMM... because it means that they're ignoring their true intentions with EOMM. The "pros" love bashing SBMM, because they love to be able stomp newer players (rather than only facing people of their own skill level)... especially if they're a content creator/streamer, as it makes them look "good" on stream, therefore bring them more views (more ad revenue) and potentially partnership with the game companies themselves (basically turning them into paid shills)! Game companies may also actively prevent their shill from telling the whole truth by making them sign NDAs/contracts... or threatening them with DMCA takedowns (in the worst cases).

Right on point ong

Well, when they add nerfing methods as eomm, which are so strict that the game is litterally unplayable. Then i wont buy shit. I will spread negative Feedback all over the web. I will post proof of eomm, and i will explain how manipulated this game is to every one possible, and Even show them Clips slowed down showing excactly how manipulated it is. A fair sbmm is a none issue. But when ur nerfed to the ground its just evil. I added EOMM as clantag. The more i can spread the info the better. The more i can inform people that this game has nothing to do with fun, or competetivness the better. And nerfing me this way will only make me staying away from bundles.

@@Nurse_Xochitl well, sbmm done fair aint that bad. Its mostly content creators who hate that due to them not beeing able to drop super high kill gameplays. But sbmm is not fair without showing the rank ur playing in. It worked great on csgo. So for me multiplayer should be without sbmm. Ranked multiplayer can be the sbmm part, but we all know top 10000 in there minimum is cheating or glitching. For warzone i dno. Either a fair sbmm who only looks on ur kd and possible add in a small % from ur winrate, or just have it without sbmm. I dno, most streamers seems to litterally fight vs bots, and 90% of the people with hotmics in their games sounds like small kids or people who sounds barely aware that their actually playing a game xD

@@gel87Kjetil TBH if they're hiding ranks, then they're not likely using SBMM. They're just trying to hide that the fact that they rigged the match against you, or against the enemy team. Modern games do NOT use SBMM. It's just that obvious to me, especially when matches have gotten to the point where I can accurately predict the match outcome a minute into the match. Games should use SBMM, for both ranked and unranked TBH also. But the rankings should be separate. This way players who sweat in casual matches will get put against players their own level... so that the actual casual players can have fun. If someone sweats in both ranked and unranked, that's on them. But having separate ranking for both would mean you can play casually in unranked matches, and play sweaty in ranked matches. Then if people want to play completely unranked games with no SBMM... bring back self-hosted servers and offline modes! This way, the game can still be played, even if the official servers shut down... or if you don't have internet, or if have no playerbase because people moved to other games, etc.

The biggest problem at least in Warzone are, Hackers and VPN abusers. Hackers are just rampant the most common being simple walls the other aimbot, i dont know how ricochet works but i do know it doesnt work. VPN, the amount of times i get put by the game in to a 50 ping lobby, only to see people with 200ping, teleporting or skiping animation frames is insane. Like why the hell am i playing on a central EU server and there are Chinese and south american players on it, posibly NA players too. I dont know how CoD handles its NA server since i obviously dont play there but the EU server is just a shitshow.

from a business perspective.... cod esports is beginning to be one of the most watched streams online?? generating millions of $$$ every event?? you think that doesnt outweigh the feelings being hurt of those who dont like dying to good players?

Esports straight up loses money

Spot on analysis, basically if you are any kind of competent player where they keep you out of the casual lobbies, and you've at some point went above a 3 KD in a multiplayer match or you dropped 20 kills in BR... Its not so much whaling when you buy skins. Activision is making you pay a tax so you can enjoy the game. They are forcing you to cover for the bad sports they lost that you shat on in one of the game modes. Basically if you don't pay then t hey put you in the lobbies with tougher opponents. Still don't want to pay , then they put the higher skilled players into the lobbies with cheaters. At this point they know you will stop playing because that's white paper on EOMM told them you would. Now, to them the game is safe, because the bad players don't have to experience difficult losses even if you have been a 20 year customer. they don't care

aim assist is broken AF lmao
