I love your content and I am very passionate about Cod but the old cods and that's why I am always watching videos on cod. But I quit playing 3 years ago. When ppl get older they like to just chill and have fun in games but with their horrid sbmm their is no chill, it's a cdl lobby every game and it's exhausting at 40.
Never enjoyed call of duty multiplayer, but wil give it a try when it's free. Have had a lot of fun in br,but mostly resurgence. But quit after the bo6 integration 🤮
Why haven't they bought back weapon prestige?? Remember special camos/ gun accessories being tied to weapon prestige and I say this because it's almost like these double weapon XP tokens are useless once the weapon is max any thoughts on weapons prestige ?
1.Activate Free Trial 2.Turn off SBMM 3.Players Click Purchase because the game feels good 4. Crank that sbmm back up. If anyones paying attention, they do this every single year.
@thebodykeepsthescore2828 Question, are you an lncel? Because you're unironically subbed to a Tate clone (Griffinmind). How old are you for you to not see a repetition of "Hahaha see women dumb right" within all of his videos? Or do you like weird lncel content?
You see the same names everytime, right? Lol you can even watch them prestige progress 😂 I am in Turkey, my player base from france-germany to Dubai-Kuwait (lol we are right in the middle). With all the players available from europe to middle east, I am seeing the same names depending on time as you said 😂
@ludwig2952 literally tho, by the time I was prestige 7 everyone of my games had at least one prestige master, now I'm prestige 9 and at least half the enemy team is prestige master plenty of which are level 300 plus
Yep. Turn SBMM way down, turn XP up. Reel in the people playing for free and trick them into thinking the gameplay is always fun and that leveling up is fast and easy. And then when their game sales shoot up after the weekend, turn it back to “normal”. SBMM cranked to 1000, XP rates nerfed back into the ground so you can’t level up as quickly. FREE CASH $$$$$
@@scmseanYou're a part of the problem, this wasn't an issue in 2012 with BO2. Sure if you were seeing people sweat I'd personally say go play ranked, but some people who are good want to also have a more chill experience
does anyone else ONLY get put in games that already started but never get there lobbies filled when people leave the game? it’s actually been a major issue for me the past week and i don’t understand why
I had to delete game. I have never seen in my life either my team or enemy team is 1-2 player vs full team. Everyone quits. Or drop cause this happening in ranked too.
Exactly this. Everyone quits now in the middle of games cause of the sweaty mlg dorks they get matched against. I've never seen it been done mor often in any other bo game than this one@@murattyngo
Nero, I quit cod about 3 years ago. I watch you because you're fantastic. You're straight forward, and have good insight on actual game knowledge whilst still being interested to know new things about it. Also I've been here since Moab Monday. Been a journey but always loved the content from you brother
You know what I’m most tired about hearing? All these content creators saying that they are totally OK getting different XP values in dedicated playlists like 24/7 Nuketown for example. If you open the door even just a little bit being OK with them being screwy from map to map They are going to take every little bit that they can. The XP should be the same across the entirety of the game. No matter what map or game mode you are playing. It’s complete bullshit that there are different values.
Bro, who cares. It’s like 10 xp a kill difference. They do this so people don’t only play one map for xp farming. Bigger maps get more xp per kill because you’re likely to get less kills. The opposite is true for smaller maps.
I could care less the reasoning. I still personally think it’s bullshit. Mostly because of the fact that they’re hiding it. Now, if they came to the table with the true values inside the game, as I got the kills, most likely I would not have this opinion. Because honestly, I probably wouldn’t know because I am someone that’s only playing Nuketown. Probably wouldn’t even be playing the game if that playlist wasn’t active to be honest.
I like how people keep defending this company and SBMM with “skill issue.” Your SBMM bracket is low if you don’t have a problem with it. Imagine having to fight for the ufc championship every time you fight, spar, and practice. This is what SBMM is.
It actually is a skill issue. I’m a high diamond-crim ranked player. I have over a 2KD in MP and that’s with the dark matter grind. The biggest complainers of SBMM are legitimately bad players with huge egos. You THINK you’re a 2KD player, but you’re actually a 1.1 player. SBMM just constantly reminds you that you’re bad at the game, and you don’t like it. So, yeah, definitely a skill issue
Or some of us know we’re good and don’t need to 2box to enjoy the game , I have no issue going double positive in my own lobbies and I maintain a 2.0kd
@BoOb-yd4dk sigh, grow up bud no one wants to pay ridiculous price for a game to not have fun. You MUST be really bad and in that low skill bracket, or you drank your Kd to get noob lobbies.
SBMM reminds me of the dining hall at my college. The food wasn't very good, but every now and then, the college would have an open house day where prospective students could tour the college, and the dining hall food was always without fail so much better that one day than any other day of the week. Also, why don't they announce when some of these SBMM tests happen? If they don't announce, all they'll see is the data of the players they've coddled and trained to need SBMM for these games. But aren't they even curious to see how many fans might come back if they just say "Hey, for this next week, our matchmaking won't take skill into consideration at all." If they don't tell us, then those won't be playing in the first place, and the only data they'll get is some people are frustrated the game isn't catering to them anymore, and they won't actually get a feel for how many people would actually be drawn by that.
Nero I’m one of those people who quit playing cod about 4-5 years ago but still watch your content, it’s oddly very relaxing for me. I’ll continue watching it for a long time
I came to this video because I noticed my past few lobbies were “normal” I was top of every lobby and we lost 2 of the 4 games but something didn’t feel right… it makes sense now. They’re running test..
Today I was in a match with a guy who was obviously cheating. I reported him and went on playing. My next lobby had THE SAME GUY IN IT. Since SBMM became a thing, I have NEVER seen a player be in my lobby twice in a row until today.
When people go and test the xp they need to do it more than once for every map to make sure there is a pattern. They should also use a second account too, to see if it’s consistent between players on different accounts and not an AI algorithm
Yeah I was thinking this when I saw Xclusive Ace's video on XP rates. These guys aren't going to go out of their way to prove the game is rigged though. In fact, they tend to go out of their way to do the opposite
@@truthdog1107it's kind of sad that this generation of kids don't even realize what it was like to play on private servers... Games were so much better before, when WE had to pay for the servers
@@halocdpsn Same. I'm Prestige Master (lvl80 or so) and for completing a 25 round zombies match I'll only rank up 1 full level. This is while completing all 3 daily challenges. That means if I did this every day for a year I wouldn't even make it to lvl1000. Not even with double xp. Crazy
Nah man that’s not happening clearly a skill issue. I’m kidding said some bullshit happened to me where I got 3 point blank hits on an enemy in HC with a shotgun and didn’t get a single hit marker. People immediately claimed it was a skill issue…
@@PsychopathicV2just know anyone that says skill issue is a cheater lmfao. Anyone actually playing this game will be nerfed the second they go positive with a one shot kill weapon. I got 5 hit markers with a shotgun on a single person from 8m away aiming at their head (cause they were behind a head glitch), game is as rigged as it gets. (I still go 70- 13 but, I feel the kills they are taking away from me.
The real way to test the effectiveness of removal of SBMM is to announce the removal for a week. Then see how much the player base/purchases increase compared to with SBMM. The results would be very clear
SBMM should just have one protected class for like the bottom 10% of players and another for the top 10%... and not allow anyone to join in progress to them to prevent 2 boxing. Everyone else should have it turned off
If they know that lowering sbmm will increase sales (assuming thats their strategy), what do you think they are seeing that makes them believe that having sbmm is good for the game?
Heavier sbmm increases micro transaction sales, they know their core player base will buy the game every year no matter what, so they only make it fun to play when the potential to bring in brand new customers is there. Like the ftp weekend.
What about sbmm affects micro transaction? I feel like it would be difficult to grow attached (and spend more) on a game where you can't realistically improve.
@@quazymomo if you are someone who suck at the game, you don't get matched in a normal lobby where you could go 6-17 and be on the bottom of the leaderboard, have that happen for 2 weeks, get mad and never play again.

This is a massive mis- conception. The problem with all these tech companies and movie studios are that they are compromised and no longer trying to produce good products, even if they lose money. They have monopolized to the point where they'd rather throw money at something and lose money on it as long as they have control of it. Movies are losing hundreds of millions, games are losing hundreds of millions and you think it's cause they can't make good movies/games? Nah, they actively spend the money in hopes of burning the art that was western media.
Unless you’re also master prestige, this comment doesn’t make sense. So no SBMM means low level players? Is that the problem with SBMM? You just wanna face new players while you sweat all day?
I haven’t played cod much the last few years but I genuinely look forward to your videos and check every day if you’ve uploaded. I saw I’m in your top 0.5% which makes sense! No matter what way cod goes I speak for a lot of us here when we say we are fans of your channel even when we aren’t of the game ‼️🙏
About f****** time. They've been doing this s*** for years. I noticed it right after ghost. I was number 8 in the world on hardcore TDM. These people were listening to me. Back then, it's bad.
To every CoD player reading this: Let it be known on the COD reddit that we will NOT be purchasing any future COD games until SBMM, Skill Based Damage and EOMM are COMPLETELY removed from the system. It's time to fight back.
Ah! This explains the 2box patch... I'm wondering if you'll all a sudden be able to 2 box again after this trial.. this company will do anything to protect people spending money, yet let cheaters run wild!
A lot of people missing a key thing here - they will probably have cohorts/buckets of “participants” where one bucket is higher SBMM and the other is lower. They are then going to compare the 14 day “engagement” between the two groups. It will unfortunately miss the opportunity to measure how many players have left and will not return BECAUSE of SBMM. Of course new players will engage more with higher SBMM lobbies, but the data is skewed because it ignores players that do not play anymore due to SBMM.
Played a little today. First game i had 61 kills but also 41 deaths, so not that good. Then my next 6-7 matches i dont even think i finshed them, any of them lol. Id spawn in and instantly be greeted by a sniper glint that never misses or a random grenade that bounced through a car.. amd my aim assist would be gone and if i did manage to hit someone after outlining them, it wouldn't be my guns correct damage. This game is BROKEN. thank god zombies is solid
Love how the limited map pool for the “free to play weekend” contains ZERO. ZERO OG multiplayer maps from launch. It’s literally just DLC and Nuketown. 🤣
@neroscinema today marks almost 5 years that i have been subscribed to you, just wanna tell you I’m so glad i have found your channel. You keep us informed about call of duty and wanna thank you for all the hard work you do man!! Thank You 🙏 God bless you brother!
I am now having enemy players occassionally teleport around my bullets by the server because they can manipulate the game server side with richochet. I've never been killed by more invisible players than CoD
If sbmm is for player retention how in ever at all would it make sense to give “new players” no sbmm when that would be the time they would need it. Then that would mean them continuing to play and buy the game would give the actual evidence no sbmm gives player retention 💀
Yes, a lot of us quit buying the games, but we're still invested enough into a franchise we love hoping one day it'll fix its mistakes. That shouldn't be too surprising, but thank you all the same xD.
Glad I’m able to help your channel out, sad it’s under these circumstances I’d rather be playing the game and coming to your channel for a possible weapon showcase or you fragging out in a lobby but I’m just genuinely keeping tabs on cod for any words on sbmm and I been around since the beginning of cod I quit around advanced warfare and hadn’t looked back sbmm is ruining games across all platforms.
if there doing that and know people wont play because of sbmm why tf they keep it? im sure people say it all the time but cant we just have sbmm in ranked
Since launch, I’ve played a total of seven multiplayer matches-I know this because it shows how many I need to unlock ranked. In my entire 20 years of playing CoD, I’ve never cared less about the game. I’ve been enjoying Zombies, but regular multiplayer isn’t fun at all. I’ve always preferred the larger map, higher-player modes like Invasion and Ground War, and with those removed in BO6, I have no reason to play. I absolutely loathe the smooth-brained, mindless 6v6 against wannabe streamers and CDL sweats hopped up on Adderall and Gfuel.
Don't you miss the good ol days. No SBMM, XP was XP, Lobbies didn't disband and you could make friends. Yeah me too. Simple times. Less is more. Why change for the sake of change.
Ive quit CoD within the first month of MWIII release last year. Ive been playing and have bought all CoD's day 1 since OG CoD 4 in 2007. I have not bought this CoD but I still watch all your videos too. You provide great neutral insight which helps me decide if I want the game or not & based on what you've said & shown - this CoD is definitely not for me, Especially after i hated MW2019, MWII, & MWIII. Other than that, you do make enjoyable videos & knowledgeable ones too, so I'll stick around no matter if i go back to CoD or not in the future
I’m not defending them at all but it’s a business. I don’t recall any time I’ve seen a business take a loss or not manipulate any and everything possible to make an extra penny. We’re just the idiots lining up to buy it. At least people aren’t keeping quiet anymore about it
I was playing with a co-worker last night who hasn't played cod since Black ops 3 and wanted to give bo6 a try so we booted up hc tdm and the last 10 games that I can look back on I was averaging over a 3.5 Kd. I think they're testing something.
Sometimes it feels like players keep playing this game despite not liking it or the company. There are a lot of options out there. If you really do not like what they are doing then play something else. Losing players (and those players money) is what would trigger change. I am probably in the minority, but I don't worry about things like SBMM. Probably because I'm a little older than the current cod generation and not a great player at the game. But also, because if I am not liking the game I just go play or do something else and don't stress over it.
5:55 from experience, that won't even be an accurate way of figuring out what's up with the xp because you can have multiple different games where you get a completely different amount of xp, you could have one game where you do crap and lose and then earn like 15k xp and then you'll have a game where you come top of the team with a 2kd and win the game and get like 6k xp, the xp is broken in this game
Might try the free access, but still won’t buy. I’m having so much fun playing other games right now. COD is like a toxic relationship that you aren’t fully aware of until you step away from it
Party modes and LTMs always have looser SBMM. Especially if you get something that isn't really special, but new to game lots of casuals play it. The first week of them adding headquarters in MW3 was the most fun I had last year. Almost every game 70+ kills and got my first nuke in there last year.
I gave the game a fair amount of time, have a KD 1.8+ , now the game is unplayable. The SBMM screwed me up , every game is sweaty. I grinded for 3 hrs straight last night to get only 3 wins . For my own sanity I quit !
HELLO NOTIFICATION SQUAD! Hope everyone is having a great week

They have monopolized to the point where they'd rather throw money at something and lose money on it as long as they have control of it.
Movies are losing hundreds of millions, games are losing hundreds of millions and you think it's cause they can't make good movies/games? Nah, they actively spend the money in hopes of burning the art that was western media.
nah theres definitely still SBMM in this game mode. bunch of master prestiges running around
Unless you’re also master prestige, this comment doesn’t make sense. So no SBMM means low level players? Is that the problem with SBMM? You just wanna face new players while you sweat all day?
@glizzward6817 well in normal games, there's maybe 1-2 master prestiges. However in this game mode, there's 4-5 in every match
I lost 8 games in a row last night in ranked, deleted the game after. I’m done with any sbmm
I’m in the same boat- quit call of duty after they patched 2boxing- not torturing myself with sbmm
They are messing with sbmm despite their player base dropping rapidly. Of course sbmm is going to have negative data.
SBMM seems worse this weekend than normal. It just sucks the joy of gaming and is super depressing
Since launch ive only played 1 multiplayer game and have been mainly in zombies and i have no regrets yall can enjoy the algorithm
I also noticed this in Ran-Snack, get boys walking around and always leaving mid game
I haven’t played cod much the last few years but I genuinely look forward to your videos and check every day if you’ve uploaded. I saw I’m in your top 0.5% which makes sense! No matter what way cod goes I speak for a lot of us here when we say we are fans of your channel even when we aren’t of the game ‼️🙏
Ransack sweat count just gone up by 32k players
About f****** time. They've been doing this s*** for years. I noticed it right after ghost. I was number 8 in the world on hardcore TDM.
These people were listening to me.
Back then, it's bad.
To every CoD player reading this: Let it be known on the COD reddit that we will NOT be purchasing any future COD games until SBMM, Skill Based Damage and EOMM are COMPLETELY removed from the system. It's time to fight back.
Dan:- Even if they disable SBMM, I am not buying black ops 6.
Not needing gamepass is a horseshit lie. Every “free” weekend has REQUIRED an Xbox live subscription
I think they have done this the past few days. My games have actually been fun for a change
Deleted the game from my Xbox earlier. I can play the original Black Ops for a better and more fun experience.
Ah! This explains the 2box patch... I'm wondering if you'll all a sudden be able to 2 box again after this trial.. this company will do anything to protect people spending money, yet let cheaters run wild!
I ran into somebody running dark matter named Nero on ransack yesterday and it almost got me. Then I remembered it’s buck bagalini 🔥
7:18 love you Nero
A lot of people missing a key thing here - they will probably have cohorts/buckets of “participants” where one bucket is higher SBMM and the other is lower. They are then going to compare the 14 day “engagement” between the two groups.
It will unfortunately miss the opportunity to measure how many players have left and will not return BECAUSE of SBMM.
Of course new players will engage more with higher SBMM lobbies, but the data is skewed because it ignores players that do not play anymore due to SBMM.
Why won’t they listen to the community and get rid of SBBM entirely. I know of not one person who wants it.
Tbh i downloaded the game twice and deleted it twice😅
Third times the charm.
@@Godric_71 naaaah
I understand
@@Godric_71 😭😭
Uninstalled it 2 weeks ago
My god you were right, played a few games of the ran snack game mode, 3kd solidly each game, jump into 24/7 holiday nuketown and I'm getting smoked
Played a little today. First game i had 61 kills but also 41 deaths, so not that good. Then my next 6-7 matches i dont even think i finshed them, any of them lol. Id spawn in and instantly be greeted by a sniper glint that never misses or a random grenade that bounced through a car.. amd my aim assist would be gone and if i did manage to hit someone after outlining them, it wouldn't be my guns correct damage. This game is BROKEN. thank god zombies is solid
Love how the limited map pool for the “free to play weekend” contains ZERO. ZERO OG multiplayer maps from launch. It’s literally just DLC and Nuketown. 🤣
This whole week my lobbies felt beyond sweaty, glad i saw this video i am for sure going to try out Ransack tonight
Let me know your experience bro, gonna try it myself too
There are no players playing this mode… bro i find lobbies with a 152 ping🤣🤣🤣 f*** this matchmaking
Just get gud
@@itsshowtime7870 Maybe this vid will fill up the lobbies😂
@neroscinema today marks almost 5 years that i have been subscribed to you, just wanna tell you I’m so glad i have found your channel. You keep us informed about call of duty and wanna thank you for all the hard work you do man!! Thank You 🙏 God bless you brother!
this kind of stuff has been happening for like 6 years bro. people just need to quit the game at this point
I am now having enemy players occassionally teleport around my bullets by the server because they can manipulate the game server side with richochet. I've never been killed by more invisible players than CoD
A smartest option is to not play this game.If you are going to play this game then don’t take it too serious as the game is rigged and always has been
If sbmm is for player retention how in ever at all would it make sense to give “new players” no sbmm when that would be the time they would need it. Then that would mean them continuing to play and buy the game would give the actual evidence no sbmm gives player retention 💀
Yes, a lot of us quit buying the games, but we're still invested enough into a franchise we love hoping one day it'll fix its mistakes. That shouldn't be too surprising, but thank you all the same xD.
Right there with you, bud. I wouldn’t hold my breath tho
Glad I’m able to help your channel out, sad it’s under these circumstances I’d rather be playing the game and coming to your channel for a possible weapon showcase or you fragging out in a lobby but I’m just genuinely keeping tabs on cod for any words on sbmm and I been around since the beginning of cod I quit around advanced warfare and hadn’t looked back sbmm is ruining games across all platforms.
if there doing that and know people wont play because of sbmm why tf they keep it? im sure people say it all the time but cant we just have sbmm in ranked
Since launch, I’ve played a total of seven multiplayer matches-I know this because it shows how many I need to unlock ranked. In my entire 20 years of playing CoD, I’ve never cared less about the game. I’ve been enjoying Zombies, but regular multiplayer isn’t fun at all. I’ve always preferred the larger map, higher-player modes like Invasion and Ground War, and with those removed in BO6, I have no reason to play. I absolutely loathe the smooth-brained, mindless 6v6 against wannabe streamers and CDL sweats hopped up on Adderall and Gfuel.
Don't you miss the good ol days. No SBMM, XP was XP, Lobbies didn't disband and you could make friends. Yeah me too. Simple times. Less is more. Why change for the sake of change.
idk why they dont just remove eomm and make a safemode for noobs with high eomm for them to "get better"
I wonder if all those CEO “wanted” posters popping up all over NYC include the Activision CEO
They need to do something with activision ceo lol
Kinda of surprised no one has done the activision ceo
@@ikemitch2498Kinda of surprised no one has done the activision ceo meme
Love your videos man, keep up the good work
So glad the last COD I played was black ops ll
It could be because sbmm calculation depends on a game mode. This is a new mode and sbmm stays as 1.0 or something default.
Yes I quite cod a while ago.
Yes I hold out hope for a better cod.
Yes I enjoy your content and honesty!
Ive quit CoD within the first month of MWIII release last year. Ive been playing and have bought all CoD's day 1 since OG CoD 4 in 2007. I have not bought this CoD but I still watch all your videos too. You provide great neutral insight which helps me decide if I want the game or not & based on what you've said & shown - this CoD is definitely not for me, Especially after i hated MW2019, MWII, & MWIII. Other than that, you do make enjoyable videos & knowledgeable ones too, so I'll stick around no matter if i go back to CoD or not in the future
Why I'm jumped on war zone to the first time ever
I’m not defending them at all but it’s a business. I don’t recall any time I’ve seen a business take a loss or not manipulate any and everything possible to make an extra penny. We’re just the idiots lining up to buy it. At least people aren’t keeping quiet anymore about it
Occupy wall street
I was playing with a co-worker last night who hasn't played cod since Black ops 3 and wanted to give bo6 a try so we booted up hc tdm and the last 10 games that I can look back on I was averaging over a 3.5 Kd. I think they're testing something.
Not the case anymore SBMM is destroying me in this game mode, seems like the sweatiest players are grinding this
That’s kinda how it was the first time ransack was the introduced as well… gotten a couple nuke streaks in that mode
As a data amalyst myself, I feel ashamed on how some companies use the "we have the data" card to do whatever they want
This needs to be illegal
There should be legality around transparency of their systems.
Lots of people say the game plays you now
Switched to playing mostly zombies
THE DATA
People need to stop calling it SBMM. It never was and never will be based on skill.
The only optimization they're going to do on my system is a clean uninstall
Why did they remove gunfight?
I knew something was off lobbies have been super chill lately
Sometimes it feels like players keep playing this game despite not liking it or the company. There are a lot of options out there. If you really do not like what they are doing then play something else. Losing players (and those players money) is what would trigger change. I am probably in the minority, but I don't worry about things like SBMM. Probably because I'm a little older than the current cod generation and not a great player at the game. But also, because if I am not liking the game I just go play or do something else and don't stress over it.
Well that’s the only mode ima be playing for the next week lol
A free trial for COD?? This game is done already
They 100% nerfed the XP rates in zombies. I’ve been using double xp tokens and I’m getting noticeable less
Exactly how I remember mw3 beta
Good stuff😀👍
5:55 from experience, that won't even be an accurate way of figuring out what's up with the xp because you can have multiple different games where you get a completely different amount of xp, you could have one game where you do crap and lose and then earn like 15k xp and then you'll have a game where you come top of the team with a 2kd and win the game and get like 6k xp, the xp is broken in this game
Might try the free access, but still won’t buy. I’m having so much fun playing other games right now. COD is like a toxic relationship that you aren’t fully aware of until you step away from it
no buy = no profits untill they remove completely SBMM,eomm etc..
Party modes and LTMs always have looser SBMM. Especially if you get something that isn't really special, but new to game lots of casuals play it.
The first week of them adding headquarters in MW3 was the most fun I had last year. Almost every game 70+ kills and got my first nuke in there last year.
Bot lobby
From the day this game released ive had crossplay off and refused to touch ranked, makes the game a little fun
I’m running 3-4kd in nuketown lobbies solo. Wasn’t like that before
My lobbies today where worse than ever. Still waiting for the time I get some protection lol.
I gave the game a fair amount of time, have a KD 1.8+ , now the game is unplayable. The SBMM screwed me up , every game is sweaty. I grinded for 3 hrs straight last night to get only 3 wins . For my own sanity I quit !
