How does the SBMM work? is it based solely on KD, or based on your final position per game, or an amalgamation of different stats? I notice in BR solo's that I usually do pretty poorly in the game directly following a 1st place finish

As far as I'm aware its a whole host of things. Performance to date, total time played, score per minute, average K/D ratio, wins and most recent performance

It will seek out a server will similar skilled players with a low ping first (vs. the person hosting in the party). If it can't find one it will prioritise speed of match making into a low ping server over SBMM.

That's why you get players with 5+ KD in servers with brand new players some times. It's more likely if people in your party are from varying geographic locations. You can play in American servers by having your party leader be someone that lives there.

I created a new account to play with my friends because normally all they do is moan that people are "sweaty" and they average 0.3KD or less (usually ~0.9). The difference is night and day in the lower skill lobbies. I have no useful loadouts on this account, but at least we get to have fun running around instead of being aggressively hunted by people wishing they were Nick Mercs.

We (or at least I) saw the first 100% cheaters yesterday

UnluckyYou was the worst with an AX50 and Fara 83.
He had 28 kills and by the last stages of the game had over 30 spectating him. You could see his movement was rubbish for the amount of kills he had. Every kill was a headshot and would snap onto enemies, even through trees. The best was a Fara kill, over 200 meters with iron sight only through a lot of foliage / tree cover. What heppend to Activision anti cheat system? It's ovbiously not working

PlayerOwning = EngineOwning = Cheat Engine?

Very annoying when it happens. I’m guessing these kind of people just can’t play so just resort to cheats. Very few cheaters are actually any good when their cheats stop working. They usually have poor judgement or just poor movement in general. So you rarely see them win as much as they should imo because all it takes is a decent sniper.

By far the worst I’ve ever had was being downed randomly in a garage, revive single shot through the wall down again. Repeated about 10-20 times until I simply quit. Luckily I haven’t had anything as bad since.

Its low self esteem in real life. Their opinion of themselves is so low that the only way they can feel good about themselves is to cheat to win, even though it then means that they arent winning, the cheat is, to them its still something which boosts their ego/esteem. Like I've said hundreds of times over the years, if companies truly wanted to get rid of cheating they could (Full bans on all their titles not just the one the person has been caught cheating in, blacklisting their forms of payment, paypal accounts, credit cards etc, all game companies making an agreement to ban someone caught cheating in one game from every game regardless of who the dev company is, scrap anonymity so that real life identification of the cheater is possible for everyone to see etc etc...there are many ways to have much more repercussions to cheating)

Must admit that the better I do the more cheaters I start to see, I guess thats because I start to get match-made with more successful players and thus have more chance to meet them. That shot through the wall one you mention is also the worst I have seen and that was a few days ago where I spectated a guy , after he killed me through a wall, and proceeded to see him win the match by killing 18 players literally by shooting through the walls of the buildings they were in.

Well it sucks that you have to buy the game twice just to play it on PC.

I thought blizzard and activision were joint companies.

Very lame. Guess i'll be waiting for a sale.

Anyone else getting crashes in warzone? I'm still on the 461.79 drivers as before haven't changed my oc in a while. I have turned on ultra low latency in the Nvidia control panel. Could that be it??

hughtrimble · 4 May 2021 at 01:02

Is there any way to turn off the sound alerts for pinging location markers and enemies? I find the noise only irritating and frequently distracting from much more risky close environmental noise, especially the sharp danger danger spam from randos.

Incredible news.

SBMMWZ is dead. Long live WZStats.gg.

I wonder who they did a deal with? cha ching

Jimbeam3678 · 4 May 2021 at 10:10

Judging from their Twitter page its not with Activision's blessing. I would guess it will be down again in a few weeks

Disable it, does it crash? If so, yes

461.40 here, no crashes as yet but after a recently updated I notice some very rare ground texture issues when looking out of one or two buildings behind glass windows. Popping the glass out the textures bug goes away

Interesting, thanks.
Right so it looks like there is no lobby ranking

I thought this was mainly what people used it for, to quickly see if you were in Gold / Silver / Bronze or whatever lobby.

stooeh · 4 May 2021 at 10:52

Looks like some stats are still behind a paywall so I expect they will get shut down again

yes I did think that after I'd posted it. Things did seem more zippy with it on so I'd like to keep it (I won a game!!!) so either there's a bug or it might be working something harder and it just pushes an OC over the edge.

You can get a rough feel for it though as the Teams still get ranked as Bronze, Silver Etc. I guess enjoy it while lasts since, as people have said somethings are still behind a paywall!

Quick update, disabled it in NCP, ultra in game = no crashes.

Jak12 20 round is my new favourite weapon. I always loved the Origin 12 but this things shreds up close
I was just in a game and someone screamed "HOW" when he did almost instantly. He had a Val too and I was very nearly dead but not quite so it seemed like a pure TTK up close moment. Shotguns win!

evohicks · 7 May 2021 at 00:03

The new Tac rifle is a bit handy also, the fast firing burst rifle 'Carv' is going to get pretty popular me thinks.

As they should do in anything <5M!
