Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

Well I rolled back my drivers to 445.87 and turned texture steaming on and all seems much better now. I can't tell if that has made the difference or if the problems of the last few days were at the developer's end. Maybe they've paid their bills and got the lecky restored fully!

445.87 is the only driver i havent hsd problems with. Newer drivers with Nvidia Reflex also add a lot of CPU latency unless running uncapped fps (i lock fps to 90)
4 or 5ms cpu time with 445.87, when i tried the recent drivers i had 11ms cpu time
 
I have WZ locked at 60fps at 1080p and use the nvidia game filters to whack up the sharpening etc. Had worked really well up to this week. Just finished a round of Plunder and it is running much better.

I use the filters too, makes it that bit sharper. I am on a 34" Gsync widescreen though so 3440x1440. No issues now ive upgraded my CPU from 4790k to 5800X. Downtown especially used to run badly (40fps, sometimes into high 30s) No difference with GPU options on lowest and 1080p so parts of it really batter the CPU
 
DMR should really be sniper ammo, of which there is less so the user would need to be more considered than spamming.

I have been running AMAX recently again instead :)
 
Ultimately no-one really knows how the algorithm works, there has been a lot of work by JGOD (who set up the above site) and others to try and crunch various stats. There has also been lots of complaints about streamers managing to get into 'bot' lobbies.

The WR lobby for kills is eye opening

https://sbmmwarzone.com/lobby/5372189075268703984

Team 2 has 1 kill, 3 had 2. 4th, 5th and 6th all had double digit kills..
 
This is what I don’t understand. Some streamers are gaming the system to get 0.7-0.8 KD lobby. And the lowest I have seen is 1.5+.

my understanding was the low KD players where isolated to stop them getting wrecked.

I’m new to WZ and my KD is around 0.5, I’m still finding my feet and I die so fast learning is almost impossible.

Am I reading that right? In quads a winning team comprising of only three racked up 114 kills between them :eek: 47, 40 & 27

This is me, 0.87 KD. Where do you see SBMM? https://sbmmwarzone.com/profile/Alexl1984#2589/platform/battle

I would say i'm quite a good player (FPS player since Quake days) and can take teams of 2 or 3 sometimes at close range. When I play with mates on consoles they are quite terrible and we get trounced at mid - long range.

I've came 2nd a few times in Solos but never 1st. I tend to get bored and run around getting bounties and forgetting to go to buy stations. Last night three times in solos I was killed when I attacked someone, killed them then a camping worm popped out and killed me when they heard the noise.
So annoying. Like this, you see him pop out his window hiding place at the end briefly
Also, jumping should be disabled unless you're at an obstacle. I've always thought it daft people jumping mid battle, imagine that in real life with a full pack and carrying weapons :D

The SBMM must be broke or rigged or something.

I've been checking my lobbies and they are Diamond rated, I'm a 1.1 k/d and my friends are 0.8, people in our lobby are 2.0+ kd, no wonder we get destroyed.

Check out the lobby that the top players get
YrdauDI.jpg

I'd be raging if I got stomped by a team over 5.0 k/d!

I wonder if when you buy things in the store you get easier lobbies, this wouldn't surprise me at all from these greedy money grabbers. $2b a year but can't implement anti cheat or do an update without introducing loads of bugs and messed up weapons.

Those pistols are totally ridiculous, I wiped out a team of 4 on my own with some pistols!
 
After reading up on this a bit it looks like lots of people are manipulating it hard to get easy games to get good content / bragging rights. If your average to below SBMM is basically completely broken.

you have k/D of 3. You get diamond lobby in most cases. Your lobby average k/d is between 1.2-1.4. This is working as intended.

for us lesser players it is way less consistent and players are reverse boosting in and this skews everything.

A lot of YouTube videos and articles have dropped recently about how this practice is done so people can win cash / promote themselves.

Maybe they want it like this so streamers keep promoting the game, maybe it will get patched.

it’s a shame as I’m like the idea of the game but just can’t make progress so am probably going to play something else.

Oden is the OG, I have had a love affair with that slappy thing since season 2.

I do wonder if the rating is relative or something, it's not very transparent how it apportions those scores.

Can someone explain how SBMM works? I have just check my last 20 games on https://sbmmwarzone.com/ and I am ranked between 140-150 K/D on every game.

no wonder I’m getting absolutely destroyed!

I posted something about it in the other thread.
However, here is a post that has been hypothesized/theorized to what's going on. Based on the patents. Call it a summary.
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/posts/34434020

The OP of that thread has a patent that explains what they are doing and they just filed/updated it on December 8, 2020. So it's very recent. And, can explain why so many don't know about it.
Multiplayer video games have exploded in popularity due, in part, to services such as Microsoft's Xbox LIVE.RTM. and Sony's PlayStation Network.RTM. which enable gamers all over the world to play with or against one another. Generally, a multiplayer video game is a video game in which two or more players play in a gameplay session in a cooperative or adversarial relationship. At least one of the players may comprise a human player, while one or more other players may comprise either non-player characters and/or other human players.

...
The invention addressing these and other drawbacks relates to a matchmaking system and method that facilitates optimization of player matches for multiplayer video games. The system may provide a generalized framework for matchmaking using historical player data and analytics. The framework may facilitate automatic determinations of an optimal mix of players and styles to produce more satisfying player experiences. Additionally, the system may dynamically update analytical processes based on statistical or otherwise observed data related to gameplay at a given time. In this manner, the system may continually tune the matchmaking process based on observations of player behavior, gameplay quality, and/or other information.

...
While aspects of the invention may be described herein with reference to various game levels or modes, characters, roles, game items, etc. associated with a First-Person-Shooter (FPS) game, it should be appreciated that any such examples are for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to be limiting. The matchmaking system and method described in detail herein may be used in any genre of multiplayer video game, without limitation.
Click to expand...
...
In one implementation of the invention, the system may include a scoring engine that identifies a potential match. As used herein, the term "match" refers to a matching of two or more players, rather than a contest. For example, a potential match refers to a potential grouping of two or more players. The scoring engine may obtain one or more match variables used to generate a match score for the potential match. The one or more match variables may include, without limitation, a latency between players, a relative skill level, a presence of preferred players (e.g., clan mates or friends), a team composition (e.g., play style, avatar specialization), a time that a given player has been waiting to be matched (e.g., in a game lobby), a player preference, whether a given player is involved in a soft reservation (which is described herein), and/or other information used to assess a potential match.
Click to expand...
...
In another example, if a player has been performing poorly (e.g., getting killed at a rate higher than the player's historical rate), the scoring engine may dynamically adjust one or more coefficients to match the player in a game that will improve the player's performance. For example, the player may be matched with easier opponents, matched with teammates that historically resulted in better match outcomes, and/or placed in a game that is more tailored to the player's preferences (e.g., players that play in games more closely aligned with their preferences tend to perform better).

These are only examples. The rabbit hole goes much deeper then this.
In a nutshell it's not just SBMM. It comprises of a whole lot of stuff they call analytics and feedback engine. Or what has been called the "algorithm".

Me too. It does need to be used differently from the Kilo, Grau, m13, m4a1 but damn does it work well when used right.
Mid range ambush attacks on vehicles are especially brutal. A few hits on a jeep from 30m and bang

Its a great tactical weapon but close up or midrange in action or when someone knows where you are its not great due to ADS and firerate being poor. I had stopping power rounds in it the other day and got screamed at a few times as i two hit killed people from no where.
Big barrel, colossus, ranger grip, 30 round, canted hybrid/4x flip hybrid.
Sometimes better swapping the 30 round for something else in solos as 30 round is only needed for taking out a whole team in quads :D

I got killed by this guy yesterday, he sniped me while I was going up a zip line. Check out his stats, he went from full potato to pro in 1 day, the 23rd of December he suddenly got very good. Kill cam showed how perfectly he tracked me up the zip, 100% aimbot.

This guy was wiping out our entire team the other day again and again.... He knew what room you were in and what way you were facing.
