Great video Teeksy! I am not surprised that your lobbies on BO6 were harder as the SBMM algorithm will be able to find players in your skill bracket fast enough so that the lobby search time metric that is takes into account is not triggered. In BOCW, it can't find enough players in your skill bracket fast enough (because the much smaller player base) and the lobby search time metric is triggered and given more weight so that it just relaxes the skill metric to find you a lobby before you wait 5 minutes. If you did this same test with BO6 in 2028 and the current game at that time, BO6 will feel much less sweaty for the same reason. All the cods MW19 and after are brutal playing solo if you are good at the game. I don't see this changing anytime soon. Only way to have fun is to play in a party with other good players or two-box and let your bot account host the lobby. I do the second method and that gets me average skill lobbies with a few good players here and there. It makes it just like prior cods with the lobbies. The other night I did the first method and also had fun in a 3-man party of competent players just slaying the lobby.
Thank you! Yeah you're completely right with that take I've been saying it for ages that as soon as a games player count drops the matchmaking improves! It's one of the reasons CW has just got better and better over the years and yeah I do believe BO6 will be no different in the future it was the same on MWIII towards the end of year 1 some of the lobbies were insane! Yeah I do think that solo players suffer more than anyone else, the most enjoyment I've had on BO6 was playing in a party.
It's because Cold War has a way less active playerbase so the skill based matchmaking isn't as strong. Cold War is also a better COD, with better spawns. Cold War is the best COD since BO3, even if it is quite weak compared to BO3.
One of the reasons CW keeps getting better in my opinion the matchmaking feels a lot more like older cod's where it's fairly random. It also deffo helps that CW is just generally a better base game so I agree with that!
i liked cold war alot, black ops 6 not so much..i havent even done the download for the warzone LMAO..i miss the mw2019/cold war time...great video though, ima sub😊
3:17 I really hate how switching weapon and mantling meant there was no mantle animation in CW, looks quite odd. Y'know another glitch? I'm pretty sure that the stim STILL has no audio when used during combat bow. Just Cold War things.. Cool 30 minute long video though wow Hmm that was exhausting to watch.
I don't think I've ever heard of that combat bow glitch lol Cheers, I do normally tend to try and keep my videos around the 10 minute mark but felt like this one needed to be longer to do the topic justice! Fair play if you sat through it, the BO6 segment was very rough lol
My biggest pickup from this isn’t even sbmm, but pure game design. There were countless moments flak saved you in cw and you weren’t even one shot afterwards, whereas if it were 6, you would’ve died hands down. And flak was already a shell of what it should’ve been in cw, it got nerfed into the ground in that game. Now it’s been nerfed past 6 feet under
Yeah it's kind of crazy in BO6 how the nade spam in the game is relentless yet you don't really have a good perk to even counter it! BOCW was definitely just a better game in general!
I love CW just like you and wish we could play together some time. The only bad thing is that one of us would be on bad ping. We could alternate hosts though so that each of us gets a lobby with good ping. Let me know if you ever wanted to do that.
I would love to run some games at some point and in 2025 I am planning on interacting more with my community and trying to run some games I've just had a lot on this year outside of the channel so my playing schedule has been all over the place. We will deffo run some CW soon!!
@teeksy1939 I've finished work now until January, so let me know when you're free. I'm also down for teaming up with you and maybe some of your other subscribers for a few matches as well 👊🏻
Good stuff! I’ve got to work a few days over Christmas but should be able to get on at some point and we can sort something out! Definitely will be playing more with subscribers in the new year aswell 👌🏻
This game has more sbmm probably cause it has more players. Algorithm works best when it has more profiles to choose from. At least 30% of players will leave the game after new year so it will be better
The graphics in CW is miles better than B06 as well. B06 doesn't feel, look, or play like a Treyarch game to me. It's a copy and past of MW3 2023. The FOV isn't quite right either. You could hear in your voice which game you were enjoying playing and which game was frustrating you. I don't think it's all down to SBMM. Your K/D isn't high in B06, so it shouldn't be putting you into lobbies against the best players anyway. SBMM just makes an unenjoyable game more unenjoyable. The nades and spawns in B06 are so bad.
Did I make it that obvious lol honestly BO6 just like every other cod is just so exhausting to play and when you have a really rough session like I did in this video it just makes me want to quit rather than keep grinding! The team balancing in BO6 seems to be terrible I'm either on a really good team where everyone on the other team leaves or I'm on the team getting destroyed where everyone leaves it's just madness! Nades in BO6 not helped by flak jacket being fairly useless and the spawns are dreadful!
the K/D ratio says it all, BO6 is soo rigged. How are you averaging 1 KD in BO6? why are the numbers soo "balanced" in BO6? The numbers say it all, the game nerfs good players and makes their stats look average. This is all to make noobs have a more "better" experience, but when the noobs get good they will find out that they cant win either. BO6 is the devils game.
Obviously a lot of nuance's to the test however it just goes to show how powerful the SBMM is when a new game releases. Cold War wasn't much better in it's prime, but the game is so much more enjoyable now which again proves how strict it is and I feel like with each year it gets even stricter!

I’ve questioned myself a lot during B06, glad to see I’m not the only one..
Many of us in the same boat, it can be rather rough at times 😅🤣

Yeah I’ve not played WZ in a long time 🤣 yeah that was a cool era definitely helped on MW19 with lockdown! Thank you appreciate the sub 👌🏻
@ fr man🤣 most definitely 👍 , no problem

@teeksy1939 1v1 me 😄
I don't play 1v1 so you'd probably smoke me
@@DanTheManc1981 honestly I would be so down for that it would be a good laugh. Once I’m a bit more settled we can sort a time out 👌🏻

For some reason, cold war couldn't find any match other than in the nuketown Playlist for me.
That's strange, normally all of the main game modes are still playable!

Yeah you're not wrong the matchmaking in BO6 will only get better over time which hopefully will help!

@@teeksy1939 Relatable. I’m grinding for the jackal variant that gives the Cold War irons sites. If that doesn’t do it for me, it might be GGS!
Good luck with it hopefully it helps you out 👌🏻 in all honesty BO6 is just a day to day game for me. Sometimes it’s good other days it’s horrible 🤣🤣
