First COD I've tried in a while and while I like the game play, the SBMM is absolutely killing it for me, every game is a sweat fest. I'm too old for this TBH, the days of me playing 4-6 hours a day (was a student) are long gone. I really miss persistent lobbies and the old school match making where the ability of the players was somewhat random/mixed.

Enjoyed the campaign though and me and a couple of mates have been enjoying zombies too.

If it's the first COD you've tried in a while, chances are SBMM is actually helping you rather than killing it for you. The general skill level is much higher than it used to be 10+ years ago.

Maybe. Either way, I'm not enjoying it very much. It feels like I yo-yo between a playing well and then a much higher skill level game, then back again, I'm pretty sure that's SBMM at work, at least it feels like it

It's probably down to growing out of it though, TBH. I was a regular player in the MW1, MW2 and BO1 so it has been a while outside of the odd go here and there. Played a shed load of Warzone during covid too.

The newer games seem to flip the spawns much more aggressively, to the point where you can fairly regularly have multiple players spawn very close to you, it feels like you can't be tactical at all (at least in TDM) as it feels so random and a just a bit of cluster**** TBH. Not that COD was ever very tactical, it just feels like the remnants of any tactical play have gone.

That's okay though, I probably won't bother playing multiplayer anymore and just stick to zombies with mates. I'm glad it was on Gamepass anyway to allow me to give it a go, as I would never have bought it. The campaign was fun too.

Okay, what's SBMM?

Edit: I think I may have just worked it out based on your use of the word skill. Is it Skill Based Match Making?

If so do you think it's on and you're getting matched with like for like or is it not on and you're in teams of sweat lords?
 
I quite like the SBMM as games feel fairly even for the most part. You still get games where you're the hammer or you're the nail but it's the nature of the beast
