Who are you telling bro? I actually quit playing the Beta and went back to BO4. Had a way better experience playing that game than cold war, even though I enjoyed the graphics and movement of Cold war better.
Same with a lot of people but sadly, if you, me and a few others quick bc of SBMM, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Same happens with EA's games, mostly the sports ones.
The problem isn't that this is in the game, their system actually sounds awesome... for a ranked mode. SBMM has no place in casuals. I play cod because its a fun arcade shooter, not to sweat. That's what ranked is for. If they don't change it I'm not gonna buy it, because I can't go through MW 2019 bs again
Same, activision, like most companies dont give a shit about what you say unless you put your money where your mouth is. Show them this shit is gonna kill their games and dont buy it and if you have to buy it wait a month as they care the most about first day,week and month sales so ye vote with your money its the only way they will listen
Thats why all the youtubers need to make a video telling all their fans not to buy the game till SBMM is removed, we have the power we just need to organize and have one clear goal.
@@jacob818tanner, thing is, that probably wouldn't work too well because UA-camrs and their followers make up probably 2 to 3 million hard core players at best. Activision knows most of them will buy the game every year regardless of what they do. They're more interested in the tens of millions of casual players who might be driven away from the game if they're constantly getting stomped on by players like us. That's why the SBMM works the way it does.
This isn’t Skill-based matchmaking... This is Store-based Matchmaking And btw you would think with all this data about in game movement they are recording, that they would actually make some good maps smh
yeah that is what surprised me the most. i only liked the ship map but if i had good snipers in the enemy team i didnt had fun at all cuz i got insta sniped when i came around a corner
No amount of money is enough for any company. A company exists to maximize its profits. A company doesn't exist to satisfy their customers. They exist to make money. Some companies are just better at satisfying their customers while maximizing their profits. And some, like Activision and Electronic Arts, don't seem to satisfy their customers but they seem to maximize their profits.
@@jamescpapg Yup. That is why people need to stop buying games from companies that don't satisfy customers like EA and Activision. Then they would have to change things up.
I don't even know why they be jumping all over the place like they be boost jumping in BO3 . Fucken scuff 🤦🏻♂️ The frustrating thing is that is actually effective most of the time lol you end up shooting at the legs and dying as a result
At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised Activision shuts down the servers of the older CoD games just so people would be forced to play the current game with heavy SBMM
They do Not even care about the old Servers. Blops 2 was hacked for Weeks, MW2+3 is full of Hackers, and Blops3 does Not Work sometimes. Download iw4X M8!
Good, finally someone who've woken up. Don't even buy tge game at all. Let COD die so Activi$ion can suffer financially. Jump ship to BF6 when it releases.
I genuinely respect that but won’t do anything cuz the game is still going to sell & make bank. Only way they would listen is if 35%-50% of the player base suddenly stop playing & buying stuff... which let’s face it is not happening.
Fortnite , Paladins, Battlefield, Overwatch etc. All have something broken right? No game is perfect. But after all the games i played Call of Duty has the most amount of broken, cuz their greedy, sbmm, pay to win, . Like yea games can be greedy but they dont go this fuking far im so freakin done so i find call of duty substitutes. Titanfall, and Ironsight so far.
Honestly I’d be fine with it if they did it by ping first and then did the sbmm stuff. It’s not going away no matter what we do with most other games having it now a days
This is the perfect summary of how this game plays and is way better than PrestigeisKey's take of "just get over SBMM cus they're never gona remove it". When the big youtubers start surrendering then nobody's going to fight for the community.
Fight for what the cid community wines either way advanced warfare bo3 jetpacks are ruing cid omg!! Treyarch has said sbmm has always been in cod games Jesus
@@joannemendes6613 Yeah it probably has been but the severity is what matters. I never noticed it until MW 2019 and I've played every cod since cod4. Also one guy who worked at Treyarch said it so thats not really ironclad evidence.
Thank you for keep hitting this point Nero! I've played every single call of duty from Call of Duty 2 all the way through Modern Warfare. SBMM ruins the multiplayer and doesn't help new players get good, like we were forced to do
Done with COD altogether. First COD I didn’t preorder because of MW19’s matchmaking system (SBMM). Played few games of BOCW beta. Left it and deleted the game.
Same, at this point i wont waste my time looking at new cods unless i hear its a remaster which, lets be honest wont happen coz activision will want to monetize it and its harder to do that on older games
The problem is, gamers will hear all of this, and still go and buy this shit. As much as I want to play this game, I won't be buying it after learning all of this. This will be another year of me playing bo4...smh
Cole Buechel Nah i can’t say anything for Cold war since i haven’t played it but MW19 was shit because instead of focusing on the multiplayer they just focused on warzone and the map designs are literally made for noobs to camp in corners
After hearing the SBMM was as bad or worse than MW, I canceled my pre order. Mind you, I’m on Xbox so I haven’t even gotten my hands on it to make a good decision. SBMM being this strong is a no brainer. Skipping this head, sadly. People, vote with your wallet. Please.
Well I'm buying it in the hopes that its not gona be this bad in the full game. But bet your ass that if it isn't fixed or toned down this will be my last cod and I've been playing since Cod4.
Okey kool ruin the event for families who went to see a game they love or someone who paid 100s of dollars to go yep asshole ruin it Also try it and see how fast security has your ass gone
@@waifuwaffles7697 If you think they love the game, then you’re wrong, they blindly like the game, if they truly loved it they’d be critical & try to have a competent version of the game.
I feel that at this point activision is trying to actively sabotage COD MP so that COD devs make less money and then they can shut down MP and just have a battle royale cash cow that they dont have to spend millions on every year for development of a new game.
I live in Australia where there are a LOT less players, we already have bad connection within our area and then the only other areas we csn be connected to (often are) are New Zealand and Asia, then it gets even worse. It used to be if you played from 12 am to 7 am you would only go up against Asian players. But now during "high traffic" times like 3 to 8 pm we are still having to verse sweaty players from Asian regions. I love cod but we all need a new game, in my eyes there just isn't another true cod competitor that stays at the high level, titanfall dropped off, battlefield was ruined by EA. Its really unfortunate.
Battlefield 5 was ruined by Dice, not EA. The reason that game failed was due to the developers content (i.e. maps, choice of theatres, shitty changes to gunplay). Gotta big feeling battlefield 6 is dominate COD when it’s released
What Pro-SBMM people often forgot: In older cods i had matches with opponents who where a lot stronger than me. I loved playing these matches and stayed in these lobbies, cause i hardly tried to challenge these people. I also loved lobbies where i played as a single gamer against teams and did everything to ruin their game. Miss these times
@@Hamillie_ Honestly, they never bothered me. I didnt care about new guns I just focused on getting the base ones diamond or I focused on prestiging or calling card challenges. I didnt care about how good the supply drop guns were because that doesnt make you a better player and I dont think it was pay to win. If you suck, it doesnt matter what gun you have. But you guys are right, they are both bad options and it’s unfortunate that we are stuck with one or the other
@SKEKMAL We're talking about Activision, if they take out loot boxes, they obviously want to make money another way, they will never turn down on millions of dollars, it's one of the greediest company on earth with EA, they don't give a shit about ruining the experience of the veterans of the licence as long as casuals keep buying microtransactions
In all cods I had a 1.5 kd or higher. In MW i can't break .98, I've been stuck there for 5 months. It really sucks because anytime I start playing good for a match or two, I get dumped into a sweaty match and go 5 and 30 against the pros
@Jaden Dobbs but that doesn't explain why I had such a good kd in past cod's, and I typically avoid meta and use off meta guns and playstules for fun. I can barely go 1:1 with my sweatiest loadouts in mw ya know? I could go 2:1 in cod ww2 just using a single 1911 pistol setup....i had 8800 kills woth the 1911 and over 15,000 with bayonet trolling setups.. I just can't do that kind of stuff with SBMM of this caliber anymore. I honestly only enjoy the game after a few drinks, otherwise I get bored fast
MW in general lowered KDs across the board. In previous CoDs I average around a 3.7 KD playing mostly solo & using only non-lethal killstreaks. In MW I'm down to around a 2 KD while playing in a party & using lethal streaks.
MW is a random mess. Like Scumpy said: the team-spawns are counter-intuitive. Sometimes enemies spawn directly on your position. There is literally no control.
My average KD before MW2019 was around 1.3 but on MW2019 I'm at .97 because of SBMM with a lot of people camping, horrible maps, no red dot on minimap but in BOCW now we got bunny hopping and sliding sweaters with no sign of slowing down and the only gamemode that i enjoyed in the first week was Combined Arms and after playing that i said to myself i will never play 6v6 again because it felt the less sweaty of them all plus i felt comfortable playing in it and i was rocking the Stoner 63 with a cavalry barrel.
Yep same here, i get on my account and its so bad, tracer rounds, custom skins, slide cancelling bunny hopping sweats to the max. Then i get on my wifes account and its SO casual, i can play a game and not cus or shout one time. The difference is night and day.
@@MrC9Oh3 its really weird, i opened some free bundles and since then i only get noobs in my lobbys. At least 4 noobs per team, its really weird and i was wondering how it was possible.
@@christianj606 lol that doesnt surprise me. A few weeks ago i changed my Activision name and got like 3 or 4 normal lobbies it was a whole different game experience, then it went back to sweating.
Well this might be the end of the line had a good solid 15 year run but they are pushing us oldies out for the kids that stole mommies credit card out of her purse in the middle of the night to buy a tracer round pack
@@Astarrrrr thats right, CW was just a quick money grab, itll be the last cod, the whole world is about to change unfortunately but thats a whole other conversation.
So what you’re telling me is that I couldn’t win a warzone solo because they kept adding things I didn’t buy but then I watch streamers who have really bad awareness win with 10-15 kills because they bought everything in the shop?... sounds like something Call of duty would do, you see the difference between this type of matchmaking and black ops 2 matchmaking? it’s honestly insane hopefully more people put this on blast if not looks like I’m spending a lotttttttttt of money 😂 love your vids nero
Connection based MM from old CODs has brought me some of my best friends that I originally met online and ender up meeting irl cause we realized we didn't live that far apart. It sucks most people won't ever get that experience going forward
You just know now that the call of duty franchise could potentially die out cause of activision stingy micro transaction matchmaking system and SBMM the whole franchise it’s being ruined, activision is digging their self’s into a hole
Call of Duty will become a relic of the past someday but the chances of that happening within our lifetimes are zero to none, considering it still makes way way too much money regardless of quality
They forget about us 40 somethings that just want to come home after work and have an hour or two relaxing. I don’t want to sweat, just want it have fun and maybe challenge myself on the camo grind
Teen here that is pretty much activisions demographic, this shit is horrible and not fun no one wants to sweat every game. What made cod fun was having lobby variety, there was always the bad and moderate players in a lobby that were fun to fight and some were challenging to beat and then there was that one god that you died to 20 times before killing him once but damn that kill was satisfying, now everyone in a match is that god and theres no satisfaction
@@biggyd336, also love how a lot more builds were viable simply because of the variety. I used to run a knife build back on BO2 and I did decent. But more importantly, I had fun. These days, melee is nowhere near as viable and I'd die multiple times before getting a kill. Especially in BO4. If you didnt know, enemies can actually HEAR their teammate getting killed with a melee weapon in bo4. Meaning that you could no longer flank the whole team and get consecutive knife kills. Instead, you'd be lucky to get to the enemy side let alone get multiple kills. Anyway, just realized that I never really had a lot of fun with recent cod games. With the exception of infinite warfare.
@@biggyd336 Fr though. Nothing beats going up against noobs one game, then pros, then end up against trickshotters, then end up in a trolling lobby, etc. now when I load up my game I just stare at the menu knowing how it’s gonna turn out.
Im going to be honest I read through the whole patent. I don't watch your content but have heard of you since bo4. For those who make think the patent may or may not have been used. These are the ending points to the patent verbatim, "19. A computer-readable medium having computer program instructions stored thereon for driving microtransactions in a multi-player game, the computer program instructions, when executed by one or more physical processors of a host computer, cause the host computer to: identify an in-game item that is relevant to a first player, but not yet possessed by the first player for gameplay in a multi-player game; identify a second player that possesses the in-game item; and match the first player and the second player to play in a gameplay session to encourage purchase of the in-game item by the first player, wherein the matching is based on: (i) the relevance of the in-game item to the first player, and (ii) the possession of the in-game item by the second player. 20. The computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the computer program instructions further program the host computer to: determine that the first player has purchased the in-game item in relation to the gameplay session; determine a subsequent gameplay session that caters to use of the in-game item; and match the first player to play in the subsequent gameplay session to encourage future purchases." This is 100% real and more than likely was the mm system in place with supply drops probably linked to the total amount of drops purchased. But that value was probably changed to x amount of cod points spent.
When I was going for the gold JOKR in mw2019, I ran a riotsheild with the jokr and let the enemy team kill me. After a couple of matches, I got into lobbies with people doing the EXACT same thing I was doing. This proves the point of class setups affecting matchmaking.
SBMM is actually losing money for Activision. Why? Because most major pubstompers will NOT play nor stream the game, so its popularity will fall dramatically.
@@mattmills9647 exactly jus look at the new broken ass aa12 with explosive rounds they put in the store. All about the money the playerbase is nothing but a wallet to activision
The idea is to keep you always feeling like you're on the cusp of improving as a player. But you're "chasing the dragon". Every time you improve the matches get harder, and you're given no quantifiable representation of your progress via an ELO system. Just one more match, one more match and I'll have a good game. They have extensive data on when players are most likely to leave based on their in game performance, and they drip feed you wins and losses based on this data via the matchmaking system all to manipulate you into staying in the game longer. The longer you spend in the game the more likely you are to spend money on microtransactions. It's the same system casinos use to get people to spend money. Keep the player at the table. Make them think their big break is one game away and if they leave now they'll miss it. The video gaming industry has been learning from the "real" "gaming" industry for years. See loot boxes (slot machines) and cod points (casino chips). Modern games are much further entrenched into the psychological manipulation industry than people care to admit. And they must be. Shareholders expect infinite exponential revenue growth year over year. That only happens if they find more and more creative ways to separate you from your cash. One thing that isn't really being talked about is the likelihood that this matchmaking system is outsourced and programmed by a third party software company. It is very possible that a company pitches this matchmaking system to companies like Activision and shows them that these matchmaking systems directly improve revenue in this fashion. It is very likely that Activision executives and upper management have contracts with companies that make matchmaking software and it isn't entirely up to Treyarch how matchmaking is implemented. The suits call the shots now and are beholden to shareholders, and frankly they don't care whether or not you enjoy yourself while you're playing. They just want you in their casino as long as possible.
I remember when prestige is key did a video about buying mtx and then getting into cake lobbies. Think the next day he deleted it and then did a damage control video about it
Well yes, you did. This is the world we live in, every product you buy supports a company/ business and the way they go about. Research into every product you buy and you will see what you are supporting. It’s like how people laugh at people that buy ethical clothing, once you see what bullshit your supporting by buying the main brands you start to wonder why you didn’t see it sooner.
@@mostunique5941 Unless your buying from a small local business or someone hand making shit from their house, Its going to be nearly impossible to avoid supporting some shitty Cooperate stuff.
The way you describe the weapon you and how they’re so broken in the beginning then everyone wants to get it honestly makes perfect sense and that just makes Activision sound so I think we need to call emergency meeting and vote them out
"People getting matched even on their playstyle" Now I'm actually wondering how hardcore camper lobbies look like... TDM ending with 0:0? Man that seems fun thanks to sbmm LOL. #edit: SBMM kicked in hard on weekend 1 for me too, I'm a smg rusher as well. Really hope the second weekend will be better, but honestly... We all know it's not going to happen :/ this actually ruins the fun indeed.
Riiight... Cuba is pretty close to the US. What he may not know, is that there are 3 server choices (at least in MW) America, Europe, and Asia... so we in South America get connected to American servers same as people in North America... obviously with much much more lag...
@@MattLaw2006 facts! But their are mutiple servers in cod for NA. The game tries too place you too different servers too find games fast. Netduma allows you too stay on 1 server if you want too. Which in this case causes alot of lag. Sbmm doesnt help. If it was connection based we wouldnt have this issue.
When Warzone's season 5 battle pass came out I decided to buy it and after purchasing it the game put me in the biggest bot lobby ever and I was able to get a 20+ kill solo win using ground loot weapons 😂
I used to love running around and getting into snappy gunfights where id win 50% of my fights. You can't do that in sbmm. Every sweaty 12 year old is just holding one spot to get a killstreak.
Agreed, there are small times Ill camp for an objective, But its WAY more fun to run around and gun. That IS what used to be fun with COD games at launch is everyone diden't know every best camping, hidy hole and try to occupy it ALL day.
It got to a point where I wasn't even playing guys as good as me I was deadass going up against people much better than me in obvious full PC master race parties, every time I play the beginning is fun as hell then couple games later gets sweaty as F, especially this cross-platform weekend
Welcome to the new generation call of duty where call of duty is competitive now and where casual relaxing call of duty is gone. I miss the simple gameplay in call of duty 4.
I vs people in Free For All (MW19) who literally mirror my actions, we both pop deady around the same times, we patrol the exact same areas of the maps and more often than not ill slide around a corner and literally bump heads with the second player on the leader board who is also sliding around the same corner on the map. It's like a mirror sometimes, so weird.
Skill based matchmaking is broken. I suck at the game and get my ass kicked every game. Where are the easy “bots” they speak of? Unless I’m one of them 🥺🥺
Sbmm has worked for me at least in mw so I want to keep it cause before they cranked it up I kept getting matched with people who stomped and made most of my team leave like that's bullshit that I refuse to deal with to make sweats happy
Thanks for reminding me why I hate Activision with a burning passion. I really hope they and EA go bankrupt sooner than later. Edit: you definitely got my respect for speaking out about this. Most Cod youtubers don’t have the balls to do so.
Welcome to the world of modern warfare 2019, i have been dealing with that kind of sbmm for a year, it litteraly tracks everything, when i bought a skin from the store in mw, i had much easier lobbies right after my purchase, the system is crazy, and disgusting, and i dont think its going anywhere sadly!
MW 2019 is my least favorite cod game, the multiplayer is frustrating. Sure I can beat up on some sweats for a few games but not every single match, there’s still no lobby leaderboards, no prestige system to even try and gage someone else’s skill level. The mystery behind who your playing against is annoying. I dropped mw a while ago, but I still watch my my favorite content creators. I hope one day activision goes back to the cod glory days.
This is why you are the GOAT, I’m so sick of this system. I am a day 1 COD franchise player, each year , I play less and less which is sad, I loved COD, not anymore. Not even a little bit
The patent was investigated a year ago and the response was that "it was an idea that isn't currently in use". So yes, while it's scummy, it was just a "scummy idea" that they wanted to patent so that nobody else could use it but them... if/when they decide to. SBMM doesn't make hAcktivision money either way... it costs them money when long time players leave and new/average players don't play for long periods because they are frustrated with 1kd close matches. "Protected" lobbies help noobs, sbmm does not... it treats all players the same. Good or bad, you end up facing other good or bad players depending on your skill level. The reason MW19 made so much money was because it got rid of supply drops, made dlc/maps free, had crossplay, updated graphics, was a return to the MW series, ditched the jetpacks/specialists/futuristic weapons, had a consumer friendly battlepass system, seasonal content, etc. MW19 checked off a million boxes that fans had been hoping/asking for over the last few years... thus... it became the highest earning CoD of all time. I guarantee that if strict SBMM hadn't been implemented... they would have made even more money, as players wouldn't have left and/or stopped playing.
Agreed, but the thing is we really don´t know what systems they have in their matchmaking. We just feel the terrible effects. Maybe at the time they hadn't implemented the scummy patent but who´s to say they haven´t now? Or a bunch of other equally loathsome ideas?
Explains why every lobby I was in the killfeed was full of milanos and everytime I tried switching it up, I'd get stomped, give up and go back to the milano
So glad that you also saw how incredibly scummy and INTENTIONAL the broken state of the AS-VAL and R700 (and now the AA12) were released in. 110% this was done to incentivize players to buy tier skips in order to get the guns early. This is a shady tactic used by a lot of F2P game companies because if they ruin the Meta by adding broken weapons/heroes/items upon release then tons of scrubs rush to purchase said overpowered in game item. Absolutely disgusting. Activision's money grubbing is going to bite them in the ass someday. Nero, big BIG respect to you for calling them out on their garbage! So refreshing to see someone who isn't a sellout and tells things like they are. Keep it up!
Their greed is exactly why I'm leaving multiplayer they have become nothing more than a greedy grimy company that I'll not buy another game after cold war
I already paid for cold war digital on playstation I'm not going through getting a refund because I still do like zombies I did say I'll be leaving multiplayer how about you guys comprehend what you're reading first..... oh right cod community ignorance my bad!
Great video. It’s for these reason I’m considering not bothering at all this year. It’s no longer about providing about a game that’s fun for people to play. It’s about providing a game that’s designed to encourage us to spend more money. It’s actually unbelievable
Its really the lobbies. I remember back in the day finding lobbies with great communication and having a blast for hours and at the end get invited to there clan. Now I don't even see why i should plug in my mic! I enjoy being thrown in with monsters, I change my strategy and force them to find another lobby! With the quick game play we have lost friendship and team work. If you want to play different people every game play free for all!
AND now since even your console names are hidden behind your "Activision" account I can't seem to Make any friends even with people from my team. Pretty sad on top of this shit.
I can confirm the "buy a gun, play 3 good matches" thing. I bought the Snake MG 32 in MW19 and rushed trough Gun Runner without problems. I just sprayed with hipfire and went 45/6. Sometimes enemy players hit me clearly first and i just survived without problem. I couldn‘t believe this first, but it is IN THE GAME!!!
I'm positive that almost every fps game does this and it's not just Call of duty. Edit: I don't remember any call of duty game ever being relaxing. Call of duty is more sweaty and try hardy than battlefield.
For myself personally as a kid playing I obviously wanted to do well and thus I probably was sweating back then and I remember barely making a 1.0 KD, although I do remember in the days of MW3 and BO1 that I could run around with ballistic knives or snipers and still be able to have fun and be silly whenever I wanted. I didn't feel that I was dying from MLG pros every time. I believe SBMM has taken this ability away sadly.
Breaking up lobbies is THE biggest issue, imo. All because of sbmm.
They ain’t gonna remove SBMM, but maybe they’ll bring back persistent lobbies
Always hated that. Get smacked and you don’t even get your rematch. Worst possible thing in a competitive shooter.
i don't understand though. other cods had sbmm too and they didnt break up lobbies
@@Bruh15817 maybe they will when we sign the petition to fire bobby kodick

It already did for me. I'm just playing the beta to at least try out the game because once the beta is over I'm not buying it
Who are you telling bro? I actually quit playing the Beta and went back to BO4. Had a way better experience playing that game than cold war, even though I enjoyed the graphics and movement of Cold war better.
Same with a lot of people but sadly, if you, me and a few others quick bc of SBMM, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Same happens with EA's games, mostly the sports ones.
lmao so true
I went back to COD WW2 because MW is a failure of a game for me despite me having a 1.3 k/d. Just so bullshit and frustrating to play
The problem isn't that this is in the game, their system actually sounds awesome... for a ranked mode. SBMM has no place in casuals. I play cod because its a fun arcade shooter, not to sweat. That's what ranked is for. If they don't change it I'm not gonna buy it, because I can't go through MW 2019 bs again
Same, activision, like most companies dont give a shit about what you say unless you put your money where your mouth is. Show them this shit is gonna kill their games and dont buy it and if you have to buy it wait a month as they care the most about first day,week and month sales so ye vote with your money its the only way they will listen
60 dollars just to be killed by kids with cheating equipment constantly 😂🤣
This is so scummy, seeing that patent.
I had to take a damn shower.

Thats why all the youtubers need to make a video telling all their fans not to buy the game till SBMM is removed, we have the power we just need to organize and have one clear goal.
@@jacob818tanner I haven’t bought it yet
@@jacob818tanner, thing is, that probably wouldn't work too well because UA-camrs and their followers make up probably 2 to 3 million hard core players at best. Activision knows most of them will buy the game every year regardless of what they do.

That's why the SBMM works the way it does.

CoD community: "How much money is enough?"
Activision: "MORE."
I can hear Bobby Kotick saying this
No amount of money is enough for any company. A company exists to maximize its profits. A company doesn't exist to satisfy their customers. They exist to make money. Some companies are just better at satisfying their customers while maximizing their profits. And some, like Activision and Electronic Arts, don't seem to satisfy their customers but they seem to maximize their profits.
@@Vipox92 or The Russian Badger
@@jamescpapg Yup. That is why people need to stop buying games from companies that don't satisfy customers like EA and Activision. Then they would have to change things up.
not about "more" its about "ALL the money" if there is money to be had, they want it, games have just become conduit for it, rather than art
"Monetized Matchmaking" thats a more better term we should call it now and get that trending on Twitter
I agree. The community needs to raise and Cod Developors need to take action.
It's worse on mobile

I'm a scuf jumper ☹️
It isn’t Halo. Honestly, the jumps need to be nerfed. They need to jump like the typical white boy.
At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised Activision shuts down the servers of the older CoD games just so people would be forced to play the current game with heavy SBMM

They already have. Infinite Warfare MP on Steam is quite literally unplayable. Matchmaking servers are completely down.

They do Not even care about the old Servers. Blops 2 was hacked for Weeks, MW2+3 is full of Hackers, and Blops3 does Not Work sometimes.

Already cancelled my pre order, we need to talk with our Pockets now.
How do you cancel your preorder
@SKEKMAL to you too bro.
@@justinmasknj4785 I called Playstation support, who helped me cancel it and refunded me my money.
Good, finally someone who've woken up. Don't even buy tge game at all. Let COD die so Activi$ion can suffer financially. Jump ship to BF6 when it releases.
I genuinely respect that but won’t do anything cuz the game is still going to sell & make bank. Only way they would listen is if 35%-50% of the player base suddenly stop playing & buying stuff... which let’s face it is not happening.
"Scuf jumping CDL rejects" I spat my coffee out and laughed so hard!
This also explains the whole breaking up of the lobbies after every match.
Yeah same as MW.. disgusting
Fortnite , Paladins, Battlefield, Overwatch etc. All have something broken right? No game is perfect. But after all the games i played Call of Duty has the most amount of broken, cuz their greedy, sbmm, pay to win, . Like yea games can be greedy but they dont go this fuking far im so freakin done so i find call of duty substitutes. Titanfall, and Ironsight so far.
Honestly I’d be fine with it if they did it by ping first and then did the sbmm stuff. It’s not going away no matter what we do with most other games having it now a days
I miss finding a good lobby and staying in it and or meeting new friends from it
I was curious about that since mw 2019
This is the perfect summary of how this game plays and is way better than PrestigeisKey's take of "just get over SBMM cus they're never gona remove it". When the big youtubers start surrendering then nobody's going to fight for the community.
Fight for what the cid community wines either way advanced warfare bo3 jetpacks are ruing cid omg!! Treyarch has said sbmm has always been in cod games Jesus
@@joannemendes6613 Yeah it probably has been but the severity is what matters. I never noticed it until MW 2019 and I've played every cod since cod4. Also one guy who worked at Treyarch said it so thats not really ironclad evidence.
Thank you for keep hitting this point Nero! I've played every single call of duty from Call of Duty 2 all the way through Modern Warfare. SBMM ruins the multiplayer and doesn't help new players get good, like we were forced to do
Done with COD altogether. First COD I didn’t preorder because of MW19’s matchmaking system (SBMM). Played few games of BOCW beta. Left it and deleted the game.
Same, at this point i wont waste my time looking at new cods unless i hear its a remaster which, lets be honest wont happen coz activision will want to monetize it and its harder to do that on older games
The problem is, gamers will hear all of this, and still go and buy this shit. As much as I want to play this game, I won't be buying it after learning all of this. This will be another year of me playing bo4...smh
MW and Cold War are both far better than BO4
Cole Buechel Nah i can’t say anything for Cold war since i haven’t played it but MW19 was shit because instead of focusing on the multiplayer they just focused on warzone and the map designs are literally made for noobs to camp in corners
After hearing the SBMM was as bad or worse than MW, I canceled my pre order. Mind you, I’m on Xbox so I haven’t even gotten my hands on it to make a good decision. SBMM being this strong is a no brainer. Skipping this head, sadly.
People, vote with your wallet. Please.
Well I'm buying it in the hopes that its not gona be this bad in the full game. But bet your ass that if it isn't fixed or toned down this will be my last cod and I've been playing since Cod4.
Lol same. I like BO4 mechanics but hated the lack of support it received
I never thought I'd say this but I would rather have supply drops.
Literally thought the same thing and it’s painful
Is rather have no micro transactions

I feel that at this point activision is trying to actively sabotage COD MP so that COD devs make less money and then they can shut down MP and just have a battle royale cash cow that they dont have to spend millions on every year for development of a new game.
Terrifying theory at that
Been having this feeling
They will be confused when everyone starts leaving.
I live in Australia where there are a LOT less players, we already have bad connection within our area and then the only other areas we csn be connected to (often are) are New Zealand and Asia, then it gets even worse. It used to be if you played from 12 am to 7 am you would only go up against Asian players. But now during "high traffic" times like 3 to 8 pm we are still having to verse sweaty players from Asian regions. I love cod but we all need a new game, in my eyes there just isn't another true cod competitor that stays at the high level, titanfall dropped off, battlefield was ruined by EA. Its really unfortunate.
So true, COD is fun and all until you stumble into the lobbies of the Asian Esports League and just get destroyed 1 second after respawning
Battlefield 5 was ruined by Dice, not EA. The reason that game failed was due to the developers content (i.e. maps, choice of theatres, shitty changes to gunplay). Gotta big feeling battlefield 6 is dominate COD when it’s released
HALO Infinite ~_~, battlefield 6 and the new rainbow six.
Stop living in Austria then
@@kynshra8960 We did that’s why we said we live in Australia
What Pro-SBMM people often forgot: In older cods i had matches with opponents who where a lot stronger than me. I loved playing these matches and stayed in these lobbies, cause i hardly tried to challenge these people.
I also loved lobbies where i played as a single gamer against teams and did everything to ruin their game. Miss these times
There‘s Pro-SBMM People?😂😅
I’d rather have supply drops than SBMM
Me too
Never, supply drops never worked
Don’t give them any ideas
If its cosmetic only yes
I hard disagree.
WW2 lootboxes weren't bad but the BO3, BO4, & AW lootboxes were atrociously bad & annoying.
In conclusion, God bless Treyarch Zombies, the only thing keeping me hooked on the franchise.

Is it inside we have to pick between two evils
IW and WW2 supply drops were actually getting fair.
@@Hamillie_ Honestly, they never bothered me. I didnt care about new guns I just focused on getting the base ones diamond or I focused on prestiging or calling card challenges. I didnt care about how good the supply drop guns were because that doesnt make you a better player and I dont think it was pay to win. If you suck, it doesnt matter what gun you have.
But you guys are right, they are both bad options and it’s unfortunate that we are stuck with one or the other

Yep, without a doubt
@SKEKMAL We're talking about Activision, if they take out loot boxes, they obviously want to make money another way, they will never turn down on millions of dollars, it's one of the greediest company on earth with EA, they don't give a shit about ruining the experience of the veterans of the licence as long as casuals keep buying microtransactions
The community: "How much money do you guys need???"
Activision: *"Y E S"*
No wonder it feels like I'm always participating in the Olympics.
Im done with cod. I’m done. That’s it, that’s the last string and I cut it. Every year it gets worse and worse. There’s always a problem with cod.
In all cods I had a 1.5 kd or higher. In MW i can't break .98, I've been stuck there for 5 months. It really sucks because anytime I start playing good for a match or two, I get dumped into a sweaty match and go 5 and 30 against the pros
@Jaden Dobbs but that doesn't explain why I had such a good kd in past cod's, and I typically avoid meta and use off meta guns and playstules for fun. I can barely go 1:1 with my sweatiest loadouts in mw ya know?
I could go 2:1 in cod ww2 just using a single 1911 pistol setup....i had 8800 kills woth the 1911 and over 15,000 with bayonet trolling setups.. I just can't do that kind of stuff with SBMM of this caliber anymore.
I honestly only enjoy the game after a few drinks, otherwise I get bored fast
MW in general lowered KDs across the board.
In previous CoDs I average around a 3.7 KD playing mostly solo & using only non-lethal killstreaks.
In MW I'm down to around a 2 KD while playing in a party & using lethal streaks.
Same here. I have a 1.1 kd in MW and had around 1.5-1.7 in bo4 and ww2. Super sweaty game i hate it
MW is a random mess. Like Scumpy said: the team-spawns are counter-intuitive. Sometimes enemies spawn directly on your position. There is literally no control.
My average KD before MW2019 was around 1.3 but on MW2019 I'm at .97 because of SBMM with a lot of people camping, horrible maps, no red dot on minimap but in BOCW now we got bunny hopping and sliding sweaters with no sign of slowing down and the only gamemode that i enjoyed in the first week was Combined Arms and after playing that i said to myself i will never play 6v6 again because it felt the less sweaty of them all plus i felt comfortable playing in it and i was rocking the Stoner 63 with a cavalry barrel.
If anything playing mw 2019 made me worse at call of duty
you didnt get worse, your enemies are just better from sbmm
@@salemishere8848 I played past call of duties and get destroyed, I lost my touch

I’m not giving activision any more money, they don’t care about this game. It’s all simply about what they can get in their pocket
No wonder I keep getting put into lobbies with everyone having tracer rounds
Yup, it's so blatantly obvious. They even do it based off you grinding for Gold & Platinum camo.
Yep same here, i get on my account and its so bad, tracer rounds, custom skins, slide cancelling bunny hopping sweats to the max. Then i get on my wifes account and its SO casual, i can play a game and not cus or shout one time. The difference is night and day.
@@MrC9Oh3 its really weird, i opened some free bundles and since then i only get noobs in my lobbys. At least 4 noobs per team, its really weird and i was wondering how it was possible.
@@christianj606 lol that doesnt surprise me. A few weeks ago i changed my Activision name and got like 3 or 4 normal lobbies it was a whole different game experience, then it went back to sweating.
I’m convinced that we will NEVER have that same cod atmosphere we had prior to 2014. I wish people would’ve appreciated ghosts while we had it.
Ghost was one of my favorites because everything worked and was viable
Ghosts was the LAST Cod I played and had a good time on. MW2019 is the WORST experience i have had in ANY Cod game.
This explains why everybody in my lobbies are hopping around like rabbits

Thank you for standing up for CoD. You're one of the only ones that goes this hard with facts.
They forget about us 40 somethings that just want to come home after work and have an hour or two relaxing. I don’t want to sweat, just want it have fun and maybe challenge myself on the camo grind
Teen here that is pretty much activisions demographic, this shit is horrible and not fun no one wants to sweat every game. What made cod fun was having lobby variety, there was always the bad and moderate players in a lobby that were fun to fight and some were challenging to beat and then there was that one god that you died to 20 times before killing him once but damn that kill was satisfying, now everyone in a match is that god and theres no satisfaction
@@biggyd336, also love how a lot more builds were viable simply because of the variety. I used to run a knife build back on BO2 and I did decent. But more importantly, I had fun. These days, melee is nowhere near as viable and I'd die multiple times before getting a kill. Especially in BO4. If you didnt know, enemies can actually HEAR their teammate getting killed with a melee weapon in bo4. Meaning that you could no longer flank the whole team and get consecutive knife kills. Instead, you'd be lucky to get to the enemy side let alone get multiple kills. Anyway, just realized that I never really had a lot of fun with recent cod games. With the exception of infinite warfare.
@@biggyd336 Fr though. Nothing beats going up against noobs one game, then pros, then end up against trickshotters, then end up in a trolling lobby, etc. now when I load up my game I just stare at the menu knowing how it’s gonna turn out.
Im going to be honest I read through the whole patent. I don't watch your content but have heard of you since bo4. For those who make think the patent may or may not have been used. These are the ending points to the patent verbatim, "19. A computer-readable medium having computer program instructions stored thereon for driving microtransactions in a multi-player game, the computer program instructions, when executed by one or more physical processors of a host computer, cause the host computer to:
identify an in-game item that is relevant to a first player, but not yet possessed by the first player for gameplay in a multi-player game;
identify a second player that possesses the in-game item; and
match the first player and the second player to play in a gameplay session to encourage purchase of the in-game item by the first player, wherein the matching is based on: (i) the relevance of the in-game item to the first player, and (ii) the possession of the in-game item by the second player.
20. The computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the computer program instructions further program the host computer to:
determine that the first player has purchased the in-game item in relation to the gameplay session;
determine a subsequent gameplay session that caters to use of the in-game item; and
match the first player to play in the subsequent gameplay session to encourage future purchases."
This is 100% real and more than likely was the mm system in place with supply drops probably linked to the total amount of drops purchased. But that value was probably changed to x amount of cod points spent.
Someone needs to move to this topic
@@ByFrosty like seriously this is really disgusting.

SBMM is actually losing money for Activision. Why? Because most major pubstompers will NOT play nor stream the game, so its popularity will fall dramatically.
No, they buy every bundle that drops in the store and are rewarded for it with bot lobbies
@@mattmills9647 exactly jus look at the new broken ass aa12 with explosive rounds they put in the store. All about the money the playerbase is nothing but a wallet to activision
The idea is to keep you always feeling like you're on the cusp of improving as a player.
But you're "chasing the dragon". Every time you improve the matches get harder, and you're given no quantifiable representation of your progress via an ELO system. Just one more match, one more match and I'll have a good game. They have extensive data on when players are most likely to leave based on their in game performance, and they drip feed you wins and losses based on this data via the matchmaking system all to manipulate you into staying in the game longer.
The longer you spend in the game the more likely you are to spend money on microtransactions. It's the same system casinos use to get people to spend money. Keep the player at the table. Make them think their big break is one game away and if they leave now they'll miss it. The video gaming industry has been learning from the "real" "gaming" industry for years. See loot boxes (slot machines) and cod points (casino chips).
Modern games are much further entrenched into the psychological manipulation industry than people care to admit. And they must be. Shareholders expect infinite exponential revenue growth year over year. That only happens if they find more and more creative ways to separate you from your cash.
One thing that isn't really being talked about is the likelihood that this matchmaking system is outsourced and programmed by a third party software company. It is very possible that a company pitches this matchmaking system to companies like Activision and shows them that these matchmaking systems directly improve revenue in this fashion. It is very likely that Activision executives and upper management have contracts with companies that make matchmaking software and it isn't entirely up to Treyarch how matchmaking is implemented.
The suits call the shots now and are beholden to shareholders, and frankly they don't care whether or not you enjoy yourself while you're playing. They just want you in their casino as long as possible.
Sad but true, most games are applying this style of gaming and it sucks, it’s making them no longer fun.
I remember when prestige is key did a video about buying mtx and then getting into cake lobbies. Think the next day he deleted it and then did a damage control video about it
That guy sucks now he sucks cod off

Riiight... Cuba is pretty close to the US. What he may not know, is that there are 3 server choices (at least in MW) America, Europe, and Asia... so we in South America get connected to American servers same as people in North America... obviously with much much more lag...
@@MattLaw2006 facts! But their are mutiple servers in cod for NA. The game tries too place you too different servers too find games fast. Netduma allows you too stay on 1 server if you want too.

@@BIackPhillip hahaha wow
You don't actually have to buy the battle pass to unlock those weapons because if you reach the lvl required you get them free
Totally agree that the broken weapons was a cash grab.
I used to love running around and getting into snappy gunfights where id win 50% of my fights. You can't do that in sbmm. Every sweaty 12 year old is just holding one spot to get a killstreak.
Agreed, there are small times Ill camp for an objective, But its WAY more fun to run around and gun. That IS what used to be fun with COD games at launch is everyone diden't know every best camping, hidy hole and try to occupy it ALL day.
Also, isn’t it reasonable to assume the player base of the alpha and beta are “sweats”, naturally making the lobbies more difficult?
That’s not true I remember playing potato’s in the bo3 beta

Welcome to the new generation call of duty where call of duty is competitive now and where casual relaxing call of duty is gone. I miss the simple gameplay in call of duty 4.

It's all good though. I'm no god but I enjoy myself. Just try to have fun and stay positive my man!
I always had a 2kd in almost every cod, now I wish I have a 0.2, fun doesn't exist anymore when your lobbies are being played harder than CDL games.
Thanks for reminding me why I hate Activision with a burning passion. I really hope they and EA go bankrupt sooner than later.
Edit: you definitely got my respect for speaking out about this. Most Cod youtubers don’t have the balls to do so.
I find hilarious, is that ppl think jumping around corners is "new", this has has been a staple in MP for years!!!!
Welcome to the world of modern warfare 2019, i have been dealing with that kind of sbmm for a year, it litteraly tracks everything, when i bought a skin from the store in mw, i had much easier lobbies right after my purchase, the system is crazy, and disgusting, and i dont think its going anywhere sadly!
ID record this kinda shit and We as a community need to say NO to this and Everyone needs to not buy the next few Cod games.
MW 2019 is my least favorite cod game, the multiplayer is frustrating. Sure I can beat up on some sweats for a few games but not every single match, there’s still no lobby leaderboards, no prestige system to even try and gage someone else’s skill level. The mystery behind who your playing against is annoying. I dropped mw a while ago, but I still watch my my favorite content creators. I hope one day activision goes back to the cod glory days.
Remember the patent that decreases your opponents hit box? Making it harder for your bullets to hit.
It’s a Call of Duty game. It’s going to make millions of dollars regardless of sbmm so why is it in the game in the first place 🤦🏽♂️
@Dr. Caustic facts
@iNGryL I agree

This is why you are the GOAT, I’m so sick of this system. I am a day 1 COD franchise player, each year , I play less and less which is sad, I loved COD, not anymore. Not even a little bit
The patent was investigated a year ago and the response was that "it was an idea that isn't currently in use". So yes, while it's scummy, it was just a "scummy idea" that they wanted to patent so that nobody else could use it but them... if/when they decide to. SBMM doesn't make hAcktivision money either way... it costs them money when long time players leave and new/average players don't play for long periods because they are frustrated with 1kd close matches. "Protected" lobbies help noobs, sbmm does not... it treats all players the same. Good or bad, you end up facing other good or bad players depending on your skill level. The reason MW19 made so much money was because it got rid of supply drops, made dlc/maps free, had crossplay, updated graphics, was a return to the MW series, ditched the jetpacks/specialists/futuristic weapons, had a consumer friendly battlepass system, seasonal content, etc. MW19 checked off a million boxes that fans had been hoping/asking for over the last few years... thus... it became the highest earning CoD of all time. I guarantee that if strict SBMM hadn't been implemented... they would have made even more money, as players wouldn't have left and/or stopped playing.
Agreed, but the thing is we really don´t know what systems they have in their matchmaking. We just feel the terrible effects. Maybe at the time they hadn't implemented the scummy patent but who´s to say they haven´t now? Or a bunch of other equally loathsome ideas?
Yeah it’s hard to say, but I wouldn’t be shocked by anything that they do.
Basically, long story short, if a gamer wants to win, that person will have to buy hacks.
this one’s a no for me chief, i’ve played every single cod and i’ve pre-ordered the last 4 but i think i’ll play another year of MW over this..
Explains why every lobby I was in the killfeed was full of milanos and everytime I tried switching it up, I'd get stomped, give up and go back to the milano
Them not fixing shit just sounds like what Rockstar does
They’ll do anything to milk the money out of every game. It’s up to us to change that.
The patent you outlined explains why good pay to win players get matched up with bad free to play players so the opposite of sbmm that we hate
I’ve had 6 ads in 7 minutes.
That’s nuts
facts youtube been bold lately with the ads
Yea Iv notices also UA-cam has really ramped up ads big time.
How people can stand to use the internet without ad and script blockers is beyond me.
@@hugsdontwork2283 yea I would. Just get paranoid about Downloading some dodgy app and messing my phone up
So glad that you also saw how incredibly scummy and INTENTIONAL the broken state of the AS-VAL and R700 (and now the AA12) were released in. 110% this was done to incentivize players to buy tier skips in order to get the guns early. This is a shady tactic used by a lot of F2P game companies because if they ruin the Meta by adding broken weapons/heroes/items upon release then tons of scrubs rush to purchase said overpowered in game item.
Absolutely disgusting. Activision's money grubbing is going to bite them in the ass someday.
Nero, big BIG respect to you for calling them out on their garbage! So refreshing to see someone who isn't a sellout and tells things like they are. Keep it up!
Their greed is exactly why I'm leaving multiplayer they have become nothing more than a greedy grimy company that I'll not buy another game after cold war
They always have been greedy. Prime example Modern Warfare Remastered.
@@AllenHerns it's gotten worse in recent years
@Slavic Soul facts
But you’re still buying Cold War. LOL
I already paid for cold war digital on playstation I'm not going through getting a refund because I still do like zombies I did say I'll be leaving multiplayer how about you guys comprehend what you're reading first..... oh right cod community ignorance my bad!
Great video. It’s for these reason I’m considering not bothering at all this year. It’s no longer about providing about a game that’s fun for people to play. It’s about providing a game that’s designed to encourage us to spend more money. It’s actually unbelievable
Its really the lobbies. I remember back in the day finding lobbies with great communication and having a blast for hours and at the end get invited to there clan. Now I don't even see why i should plug in my mic! I enjoy being thrown in with monsters, I change my strategy and force them to find another lobby! With the quick game play we have lost friendship and team work. If you want to play different people every game play free for all!
AND now since even your console names are hidden behind your "Activision" account I can't seem to Make any friends even with people from my team. Pretty sad on top of this shit.
I can confirm the "buy a gun, play 3 good matches" thing. I bought the Snake MG 32 in MW19 and rushed trough Gun Runner without problems. I just sprayed with hipfire and went 45/6. Sometimes enemy players hit me clearly first and i just survived without problem. I couldn‘t believe this first, but it is IN THE GAME!!!
I'm positive that almost every fps game does this and it's not just Call of duty.
Edit: I don't remember any call of duty game ever being relaxing. Call of duty is more sweaty and try hardy than battlefield.
Destiny removed their SBMM completely and the game flourished
For myself personally as a kid playing I obviously wanted to do well and thus I probably was sweating back then and I remember barely making a 1.0 KD, although I do remember in the days of MW3 and BO1 that I could run around with ballistic knives or snipers and still be able to have fun and be silly whenever I wanted. I didn't feel that I was dying from MLG pros every time. I believe SBMM has taken this ability away sadly.
And we thought loot boxes were the worst, we had no idea...
