Activision will never remove SBMM.. and the whole reason of COD HQ existing is holding our stats hostage to activate SBMM on every single game they release.
If you’re using the same Activision account across previous CoD’s then they had your stats pre-HQ too. I think HQ’s there to inflate “Call of Duty players” to shareholders and try to share assets to keep the download sizes below a terabyte
The game is meant for us not to improve, tbh i feel like i play the same i did in mw2019. If i try, i get the next esports team, if i try to chill, i still get esports teams but lite version. If i wanna chill i cant, i just wanna listen to music and turn my brain off like i did in bo3 but its not possible.
Tip for this challenge: Use care package as your scorestreak, toss the beacon into the enemies spawn (and pray the spawn doesn't flip), let them capture and use the streak, then blow it up.
I decided I was done with mp dark matter back in cold war, I refuse to be manipulated and tortured for the days and weeks dark matter would take to get. I got nebula today and it took some time, but that camo doesn't leave anything to luck
I did the Orion grind back during MWII, never doing a true mastery camo grind ever again. That shit took a massive amount of lifespan off me. The most I go for these days is gold.
It’s really hard to play with my friends, who are significantly worse than I am. They typically can’t really compete and it’s almost like a 1 v 6. No joke, we literally lose almost every game.
I might get Gold and call it there myself. I agree, Dark Matter is to much for my mental health. Bro has a ton of patience and grit to get those Camo challenges done.
I decided to pick up the Xbox port of Death Stranding shortly after hitting prestige one and haven’t been screwed by the algorithm since. It’s nice to play games that aren’t designed to piss you off, even if it is a post-apocalyptic postal service.
Your best video yet bro. 💯. Facts. Feels like everything in the game is designed to take as much time as possible to complete. Its annoying. I almost have Dark Spine unlocked and the grind has been unreal. Appreciate all your hard work with the content and speaking the truth about this game.
I was thinking the same. Game realy force you to rage quit. But instead I rage deleted game, download Stalker 2 and will not return until I finish stalker 😂
Trying to get all the head shots for snipers has been the worst camo grind I ever experienced. I'm well over 15 hours for all 3. It's the most frustrating thing with these lobbies. And why does it take like 5 minutes to get into a game?!?! SBMM on top of waiting forever to find a lobby and then what is it like 60seconds for the map vote?! Why does it take that long?!
@@BraveBelievers I might have to pull the trigger on that. Reason why I haven't done it so far is because I paid $46 for the SBMMOFF thing, which I don't recommend, and I subbed to the Game Pass, so I don't have to pay the $70 for this game. Technically I'm not losing money because I will be saving $70 for Indiana Jones when that comes out as well.
Quick tip people, i got dark matter last week. JUST DO THE DIAMOND CHALLENGES FOR 31 WEAPONS, avoid the baseball bat and the He-1, instead do the camo grind for the Krig and the Saug and thats it, you just need need 33 dark spine weapons. Also please play the small map mosh pit, there are more chances to get a a headshot there.
No you won't get Sigma Diamond. Just skip the launchers alltogether. At this stage you have to do melee's thoufh because there aren't enough weapons yet.
@@Buhrywith the 2 new guns you can skip 2 other guns. Basically avoid the launchers, or do the diamond challenges for all base weapons and then go for the grind of the Krig and the saug. You just need 33 diamond guns to unlock dark spine chalenges.
That air support issue that you’re having is wild for me to hear. I feel like every game I’m in the opposing team is the freaking Air Force of the United States with how many UAVs and counter UAVs they have it is truly unreal. I was just playing last night I told my friend I’ve never played a cod where there were that many UAVs in one match I am mainly a Support style player that shoots down a lot of streaks with a launcher and Sam turret. I’m willing to bet I had more UAV kills than player kills in like three of the games last night
Every SINGLE WORD YOU SAID ABOUT THE HE, IS FACTSSS!! I finally got done with it like a week ago but took me forever and my kd went down drastically but ever since then I’m getting hard lobbies then next I’d get easy so it goes back in forth
Feeding the enemy is the worst thing you can do, for exactly the reasons you experienced. Your SBMM will tank and the amount of UAVs deminishes exponentially. Getting the launchers done was incredibly easy to me. Playing Hardcore Nuketown 24/7 is so incredibly sweaty, I got all the launcher final challenges in a few games. At one point I had 16 destroys in a SINGLE game with the HE-1.
I feel you on this rant Nero. I went 2-57 feeding the enemy team kills for streaks for the HE challenge and at the end of the game when it was 120-199 thats when all the streaks went up into the sky and the game ended. When you shoot the HE it feels like the rocket purposely dodges the streak, like I will watch the rocket dip down or jump up and i will end up missing. The HE is the single worst challenge I have ever done. Love the vids tho keep grinding.
I literally experienced the same thing that nero said in the video. He1 is the worst part of the dm challenge. I was feeding enemy team kills to the point where i even went 2-65. When the streaks show up the he1 would just not HIT and after a few games like that my skill bracket got so low that the enemy team couldn’t drop a single uav in the entire match. Good shit activision
We need to return to playing for wins, not silly virtual trinkets. Grinding is why cod has changed so drastically. It’s basically a collection game now. With a store.
I’ve noticed everyone just thinks they are in a “higher skill bracket” than other players, based on them having trouble or doing poorly. Literally everyone feels the need to excuse their sub 2.0 kdr by claiming they have some wildly different experience from those who may have a camo they don’t.
I’ve been starting to think too that since the multiplayer in BO6 isn’t the best and I just wanna grind zombies I’m really tempted to go back to mw3 play that multiplayer and then play BO6 zombies when I’m in the mood at least mw3 won’t have crazy SBMM
The games knows your trying to get those air support challenges so they make sure your in a lobby that won't. They know people just play for the camo grid then stop playing which is why they also don't do double XP weekends anymore. Plus have you noticed your not getting all the Cod points or XP from the battle pass 😅
YT: "Same procedure with whining about SBMM in CoD, but still buying and playing it as last year, Mr. Nero?" Nero: "Same procedure as almost every video since MW 2019, TH-cam!"
I'm honestly sick of the matchmaking in this game. I'm playing it on game pass because I already have it, and the last cod I played was MW2019, which I quit within days obviously because its the worst cod ever made. But before that I played MW3 (2011), which is still lightyears ahead of this game on matchmaking alone. Why the heck is SBMM this strong in unranked when a ranked playlist exists? It makes zero sense, Bungie got this right almost 20 years ago with Halo 3, yet the biggest shooter in the world just can't do it. Mind blowing. Edit: also congrats on Dark Matter!
Usually I try to go for the rocket launcher cammos first whenever I go for dark matter, but this challenge is just so god awful that I skipped it entirely
Im a 0% TDM player early 1000s leaderbord and Im still grinding for all diamond. My lobbies are pure insanity. If I dont use uplevel guns my team loses 9 of 10. Also yesterday I dropped 49 TDM and my team lost by 7 points how is that even fair?
Blames SBMM for not having fun, but intentionally goes 0-40 for a challenge. So you even like COD or is it just a progression simulator for you. All you seem to care about is number go up and challenge go ding
I was playing 8th/9th prestige virgin sweats after the game being out for a week. None of them play the objective, just sliding around the map looking to increase their kd. The thing that pisses me off the most about sbmm is that my lobbies NEVER get easier, even if i get slapped for 5 games straight. I usually wait for my friends to come on and i just session join, its literally the only way i have s good time on cod
Man. In the lobbies I've got I'm happy with 5 headshots. Even in Face Off.🤷♂️ I know; proberly skill issue😂 Everybody using smokes shotguns an duel wield smg'sore campsniping the long lanes 🤤
For anyone seeing this do not use the he-1 stay awayyy. Do not waste the precious hours of your time with that terrible challenge. The problem that happens is that at first the players in your lobby are so good that no one can get streaks. Once you get in the bad lobbies people are so bad that no one can get streaks it’s actually hilarious
Don’t forget that headshots dont do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING unless you put a BARREL that makes headshots actually kill quicker but they make it even harder by adding recoil
And this does not even help with most weapons, lmao. Which is the funniest part. For most weapons even the headshot barrel doesn't reduce TTK, just the number of total hits that need to be headshots. What I mean by that, as an example, is for some weapons having the headshot barrel means you only need to land 2 headshots out of 5 hits total, instead of having to land 3 hits as headshots, out of the 5 total hits required in both cases, to kill. Again, this was just one example. There are weapons that actually get lower TTK with the headshot barrel, but it's not many.
No one will be mad at you if you only cover news on CoD and don't torture yourself playing this POS bro. I gave up on this series in season 2 last year, it's just not fun anymore, I just stay in the loop on the hopes the series course corrects someday.
get killed every time I stop to shoot something down. Either due to rapid spawn flipping or sweats butt sliding from spawn to spawn as fast as they can.
I foreseen the issue with people not calling UAVS for my HE-1 launcher challenges so I already knew to sweat a couple games beforehand so SBMM would put me against sweat lobbies. Crazy how we just know how the matchmaking works so we can take advantage of it. I had people calling in like 3 helis and 10 uavs/counter uavs in a single match. All I did was kindly ask them to do it. This was on nuketown btw. Some were gatekeeping their killstreaks on purpose. The last launcher challenge also took me like 3 hours
Your original post really motivated me to go for dm and thought they wouldn’t be that bad. They were not bad especially doing faceoff moshpit. Hardest challenge has honestly been dm for the bloodthirsty
Going for headshots and having a mfr drop on his ass the second he's on my screen while I'm just casually aiming at his head (that doesn't make the ttk any better) has made me a much worse person
What’s the point of trying to finish every form of progression in one month of a game being out?? It’s straight paste eating behavior. The game isn’t a level up and unlock simulator
I redownloaded Black Ops 4. The difference is astounding. I logged in and was like Oh Yeah We Can Vote On Maps. No separating lobbies. I had forgotten how fun Cod could be. I guess ill keep playing BO4 until it is no more.
I typically run around doing melee regardless of the lobby or map selected (unless Scud pops up 3 times in a row). I put the baseball bat down once I unlocked the diamond badge at 500 kills. Now I only use it to humiliate people. It's also a good counter to people knifing as it has more range and locks them into a kill if you heavy melee them.
Since the Krig and Saug are in the game now you can replace the free fire launcher and the baseball bat. Dark Matter requires 33 weapons, no specifics.
The thing that people don't understand about SBMM either is that No matter what your skill level is your lobby is going to be extremely hard because if you're a .5 KD player you're getting put with other .5 KD players so therefore it's hard for your skill level and if you're a 3KD player you're getting put with other 3 KD players it's actually stupid so no matter what your skill level is or how good or bad you are at the game the challenge is the same regardless it's honestly not even protecting the low scale player
Chill Dude, SBMM is never going to change so if it’s driving you crazy find something else to play. Their are plenty of other fantastic games floating around for you to dedicate your time too, weather that is to replace or supplement your time playing COD is up to you. Also I know you’ve been playing COD for a very long time but never become content at your skill level. SBMM kinda discourages players from trying to get better but I grinded MW2 + MW3 Ranked quite intensely and I feel I’m the best I’ve ever been at COD in my 10+ years of playing the game. As a result of this, it’s very rare I have a bad game. The better you are at the game the harder it is for SBMM to deal with you.
I slowly watched as my games got harder and harder now I’m barely going 1.0kd every game. Some games I shred then it’s just miserable, thinking of just calling it and only focusing on zombies
What's interesting to me is how Activision states that SBMM is a reason that people are playing call of duty more, but they fail to mention how they've added way more challenges to the game and maybe that's why people are tied to the game more but they're just correlating it with SBMM and SBMM is actually the reason that I quit playing call of duty.
They changed something. Im Prestige 9 because I grind out the masteries, camos and calling cards in both zombies and MP and since the hitlist update, something definitely changed. Im getting matched with sweaty PC players on console, their sensitivity is through the roof, the aimsnap on me behind cover, prefire when I run around a corner, it's a crazy difference compared to a couple days ago. I can't get a longer streak than 2/3, where I could easily get bloodthirsties before midweek.
Hardcore Stakeout and Gala were the go-to for me when it comes to headshots. The only time I hopped into core was for the snipers, melees (except for the baseball bat triple kills where I lobby shopped for HC Stakeout) and one of the DMRs that had a 1-shot headshot potential in core. Can absolutely relate with the launcher challenges. For the majority of the camo grind people were continuously spamming streaks, but suddenly when it was my turn to get dark spine for the launchers, no one started using any (C)UAVs or turrets. It was frustrating. I am of the opinion that these challenges should never be dependent on other players. I don't necessarily mind the headshots, double/triple kills and bloodthirsty challenges. If my memory serves me right, one of the challenges in Black Ops 4 required you to shoot down SAM turrets to get one of the mastery camos for the launcher.
the worst thing about it is that sbmm doesn't even put you against good players it just puts you against campers, especially on nuketown, they just sit in the back of the map and im always pushing just to get sniped by someone in their spawn so i usually just play with my friend since his lobbies are easier and less sweaty and campy but when i play by myself its hell
I literally went through this EXACT routine I just finished all the dark spine and the last thing I needed was that god awful HE launcher, by the time I was done I was literally just walking left and right and the noobs couldn’t hit me I was in awe
HELLO NOTIFICATION SQUAD!
Recently I've been having the same problem for my lock on launch I can't find a single uav or cuav half the time

Activision will never remove SBMM.. and the whole reason of COD HQ existing is holding our stats hostage to activate SBMM on every single game they release.
If you’re using the same Activision account across previous CoD’s then they had your stats pre-HQ too.
I think HQ’s there to inflate “Call of Duty players” to shareholders and try to share assets to keep the download sizes below a terabyte
@@RelaxedKiller makes sense
As somebody who is really kinda bad player I don’t like SBMM either, I can’t really learn the game if I am just playing against a he clones of myself
See this doesn’t get talked about ENOUGH!
Disagree
The game is meant for us not to improve, tbh i feel like i play the same i did in mw2019. If i try, i get the next esports team, if i try to chill, i still get esports teams but lite version. If i wanna chill i cant, i just wanna listen to music and turn my brain off like i did in bo3 but its not possible.
@@vkumv2493this right here was me in bo1 listening to max miller for the first time just going in without a care about footsteps
I'm not a very good player either. My KD is like 1.10 and I'm constantly put into sweat lobbies with the enemy team getting 3.0 KDs
We're battling the infrastructure more than the enemy team smh
Tip for this challenge: Use care package as your scorestreak, toss the beacon into the enemies spawn (and pray the spawn doesn't flip), let them capture and use the streak, then blow it up.
I decided I was done with mp dark matter back in cold war, I refuse to be manipulated and tortured for the days and weeks dark matter would take to get. I got nebula today and it took some time, but that camo doesn't leave anything to luck
I did the Orion grind back during MWII, never doing a true mastery camo grind ever again. That shit took a massive amount of lifespan off me. The most I go for these days is gold.
My last game was MW2019, grined Damascus on all weapons except for Season 6 and Season 7 weapons
Diamond is doable. Only took me 5 days for the SMGs😅
UAVs cost 7 kills without objectives. That's ridiculous and could also be a reason why.
Yea nobody plays objective lol
Didn't they also nerf the xp gain from them too?
Ralph!!!!!!
Equivalent to an OG attack helicopter
It's sad that you HAVE to run green perks to reliably get UAVs now.
SBMM is void of fun whether its the camo grind or not, who knew being a semi decent player would have a stressful experience.
It’s really hard to play with my friends, who are significantly worse than I am. They typically can’t really compete and it’s almost like a 1 v 6. No joke, we literally lose almost every game.
You’re wild doing these camo challenges bro i take my mental health too seriously for alladat 😂
I might get Gold and call it there myself. I agree, Dark Matter is to much for my mental health. Bro has a ton of patience and grit to get those Camo challenges done.
I decided to pick up the Xbox port of Death Stranding shortly after hitting prestige one and haven’t been screwed by the algorithm since. It’s nice to play games that aren’t designed to piss you off, even if it is a post-apocalyptic postal service.
Your best video yet bro. 💯. Facts. Feels like everything in the game is designed to take as much time as possible to complete. Its annoying. I almost have Dark Spine unlocked and the grind has been unreal. Appreciate all your hard work with the content and speaking the truth about this game.
SBMM changes the minute you activate a XP token. First game is fine but when it's sweaty. They really don't want us having these legacy tokens.
I was thinking the same. Game realy force you to rage quit. But instead I rage deleted game, download Stalker 2 and will not return until I finish stalker 😂
@murattyngo same idea I was having.
Yeah I felt that alot in MWII. Legit had an easier time leveling when I didn't pop tokens 🤦
Trying to get all the head shots for snipers has been the worst camo grind I ever experienced. I'm well over 15 hours for all 3. It's the most frustrating thing with these lobbies. And why does it take like 5 minutes to get into a game?!?! SBMM on top of waiting forever to find a lobby and then what is it like 60seconds for the map vote?! Why does it take that long?!
I can find games on bo4 at like 6 pm est faster than any game any time in black ops 6
so that you waste your active token xp in lobbies ofc
Play hardcore tdm, it's a camp fest.
Took me 6 hours total with 2box
@@BraveBelievers I might have to pull the trigger on that. Reason why I haven't done it so far is because I paid $46 for the SBMMOFF thing, which I don't recommend, and I subbed to the Game Pass, so I don't have to pay the $70 for this game. Technically I'm not losing money because I will be saving $70 for Indiana Jones when that comes out as well.
‘Oh you went 0 - 40? That makes me get a big giant clue ooohhhhh yesssssss’
-Activision
I've got a raaaaaaging clue 😂
Quick tip people, i got dark matter last week. JUST DO THE DIAMOND CHALLENGES FOR 31 WEAPONS, avoid the baseball bat and the He-1, instead do the camo grind for the Krig and the Saug and thats it, you just need need 33 dark spine weapons. Also please play the small map mosh pit, there are more chances to get a a headshot there.
But if you dont do he1 you cant get diamond sigma? How does this work?
No you won't get Sigma Diamond. Just skip the launchers alltogether. At this stage you have to do melee's thoufh because there aren't enough weapons yet.
@@Buhrywith the 2 new guns you can skip 2 other guns. Basically avoid the launchers, or do the diamond challenges for all base weapons and then go for the grind of the Krig and the saug. You just need 33 diamond guns to unlock dark spine chalenges.
That air support issue that you’re having is wild for me to hear. I feel like every game I’m in the opposing team is the freaking Air Force of the United States with how many UAVs and counter UAVs they have it is truly unreal. I was just playing last night I told my friend I’ve never played a cod where there were that many UAVs in one match I am mainly a Support style player that shoots down a lot of streaks with a launcher and Sam turret. I’m willing to bet I had more UAV kills than player kills in like three of the games last night
The very epitome of madness. It's why I stopped trying after Black Ops 2. I don't have the time (or patience) to do it. Hats tip to you Nero. ❤
Every SINGLE WORD YOU SAID ABOUT THE HE, IS FACTSSS!! I finally got done with it like a week ago but took me forever and my kd went down drastically but ever since then I’m getting hard lobbies then next I’d get easy so it goes back in forth
Feeding the enemy is the worst thing you can do, for exactly the reasons you experienced. Your SBMM will tank and the amount of UAVs deminishes exponentially. Getting the launchers done was incredibly easy to me. Playing Hardcore Nuketown 24/7 is so incredibly sweaty, I got all the launcher final challenges in a few games. At one point I had 16 destroys in a SINGLE game with the HE-1.
Core = 4-7 Headshots
Hardcore = 14-20 Headshots
Crazy the difference these two modes make
Theres no point in Camo grinding. A new Call of Duty will come out next year.
I feel you on this rant Nero. I went 2-57 feeding the enemy team kills for streaks for the HE challenge and at the end of the game when it was 120-199 thats when all the streaks went up into the sky and the game ended. When you shoot the HE it feels like the rocket purposely dodges the streak, like I will watch the rocket dip down or jump up and i will end up missing. The HE is the single worst challenge I have ever done. Love the vids tho keep grinding.
I literally experienced the same thing that nero said in the video. He1 is the worst part of the dm challenge. I was feeding enemy team kills to the point where i even went 2-65. When the streaks show up the he1 would just not HIT and after a few games like that my skill bracket got so low that the enemy team couldn’t drop a single uav in the entire match. Good shit activision
I honestly don't understand why you didn't just skip the HE launcher and use the Krig or Saug instead, it's so much less stressful.
Exactly. So many people don’t know you can do this even tho you’ve been able to do DLC weapons for Dark Matter for the past few years now.
The algorithm worked as intended. Game retention! Congratulations Neros
Yea I’m at 32/33 with the he-1 left for dark spine I told myself I’ll wait until another new weapon before I drive myself insane
just do the krig and the saug
We all feel for you Nero, this game makes me wanna crash out.. I don’t really enjoy cod games anymore sadly
We need to return to playing for wins, not silly virtual trinkets. Grinding is why cod has changed so drastically. It’s basically a collection game now. With a store.
I’ve noticed everyone just thinks they are in a “higher skill bracket” than other players, based on them having trouble or doing poorly. Literally everyone feels the need to excuse their sub 2.0 kdr by claiming they have some wildly different experience from those who may have a camo they don’t.
There's no KDR in this game. And that's not what this video was about at all.
I’ve been starting to think too that since the multiplayer in BO6 isn’t the best and I just wanna grind zombies I’m really tempted to go back to mw3 play that multiplayer and then play BO6 zombies when I’m in the mood at least mw3 won’t have crazy SBMM
@@averylr32 mwiii still active nice to go back, i hope bo6 will also get as much content
The games knows your trying to get those air support challenges so they make sure your in a lobby that won't. They know people just play for the camo grid then stop playing which is why they also don't do double XP weekends anymore. Plus have you noticed your not getting all the Cod points or XP from the battle pass 😅
YT: "Same procedure with whining about SBMM in CoD, but still buying and playing it as last year, Mr. Nero?"
Nero: "Same procedure as almost every video since MW 2019, TH-cam!"
I'm honestly sick of the matchmaking in this game. I'm playing it on game pass because I already have it, and the last cod I played was MW2019, which I quit within days obviously because its the worst cod ever made. But before that I played MW3 (2011), which is still lightyears ahead of this game on matchmaking alone.
Why the heck is SBMM this strong in unranked when a ranked playlist exists? It makes zero sense, Bungie got this right almost 20 years ago with Halo 3, yet the biggest shooter in the world just can't do it. Mind blowing.
Edit: also congrats on Dark Matter!
Bro talk about the same shit every video
Usually I try to go for the rocket launcher cammos first whenever I go for dark matter, but this challenge is just so god awful that I skipped it entirely
Im a 0% TDM player early 1000s leaderbord and Im still grinding for all diamond. My lobbies are pure insanity. If I dont use uplevel guns my team loses 9 of 10. Also yesterday I dropped 49 TDM and my team lost by 7 points how is that even fair?
Been there. Sucks.
Blames SBMM for not having fun, but intentionally goes 0-40 for a challenge. So you even like COD or is it just a progression simulator for you. All you seem to care about is number go up and challenge go ding
4:50 that's so sad man gaming is fried there's no fun
Actually insane
Never a better time to be a leader and walk away!
I think this might be my favourite video of yours. So cathartic to hear other people hate the HE1 as much as me.
You should've joined my lobbies. Its pretty much uavs none stop throughout the whole match.
I was playing 8th/9th prestige virgin sweats after the game being out for a week. None of them play the objective, just sliding around the map looking to increase their kd. The thing that pisses me off the most about sbmm is that my lobbies NEVER get easier, even if i get slapped for 5 games straight. I usually wait for my friends to come on and i just session join, its literally the only way i have s good time on cod
Man. In the lobbies I've got I'm happy with 5 headshots. Even in Face Off.🤷♂️
I know; proberly skill issue😂
Everybody using smokes shotguns an duel wield smg'sore campsniping the long lanes 🤤
For anyone seeing this do not use the he-1 stay awayyy. Do not waste the precious hours of your time with that terrible challenge. The problem that happens is that at first the players in your lobby are so good that no one can get streaks. Once you get in the bad lobbies people are so bad that no one can get streaks it’s actually hilarious
Don’t forget that headshots dont do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING unless you put a BARREL that makes headshots actually kill quicker but they make it even harder by adding recoil
And this does not even help with most weapons, lmao. Which is the funniest part. For most weapons even the headshot barrel doesn't reduce TTK, just the number of total hits that need to be headshots. What I mean by that, as an example, is for some weapons having the headshot barrel means you only need to land 2 headshots out of 5 hits total, instead of having to land 3 hits as headshots, out of the 5 total hits required in both cases, to kill. Again, this was just one example. There are weapons that actually get lower TTK with the headshot barrel, but it's not many.
I 2 box and I am proud to do so. There is no way I was going to go all year playing with this sbmm
Fellow 2box VPN chad, stay winning King
i am commenting before watching the whole thing Nero, but i love how the you can see the visual lag while the game says its running fine
No one will be mad at you if you only cover news on CoD and don't torture yourself playing this POS bro. I gave up on this series in season 2 last year, it's just not fun anymore, I just stay in the loop on the hopes the series course corrects someday.
get killed every time I stop to shoot something down. Either due to rapid spawn flipping or sweats butt sliding from spawn to spawn as fast as they can.
@6:09 That bird almost got smoked lol
I noticed my first 3 days playing the game I saw no streaks and thought I was bugged. I’m glad more and more people are starting to notice this
I foreseen the issue with people not calling UAVS for my HE-1 launcher challenges so I already knew to sweat a couple games beforehand so SBMM would put me against sweat lobbies. Crazy how we just know how the matchmaking works so we can take advantage of it. I had people calling in like 3 helis and 10 uavs/counter uavs in a single match. All I did was kindly ask them to do it. This was on nuketown btw. Some were gatekeeping their killstreaks on purpose. The last launcher challenge also took me like 3 hours
why now is everyone talking about this. cod has had eomm since 2020
Nero's decent into madness is entertaining ngl
Your original post really motivated me to go for dm and thought they wouldn’t be that bad. They were not bad especially doing faceoff moshpit. Hardest challenge has honestly been dm for the bloodthirsty
Not sure there is a better way to start the day than a good old fashioned Nero rant!!!😂😂😂
Nero chilling on the sign after lowering the sbmm is hilarious 😂
Here we go! How much longer until the annual “how i’m still having fun in (this years cod game). Time is a flat circle.
Going for headshots and having a mfr drop on his ass the second he's on my screen while I'm just casually aiming at his head (that doesn't make the ttk any better) has made me a much worse person
Staring down the long alley on nuketown 24/7 should do the trick
For as bad as it is, it's still hilarious bonking people with the baseball bat 😂
There should be a cammo challenge: Get 3 bloodthirstys in an sbmm match. Oh wait, that exists
What’s the point of trying to finish every form of progression in one month of a game being out?? It’s straight paste eating behavior. The game isn’t a level up and unlock simulator
Been watching you for years… but at one point of the vid i thought i was watching a Blame Truth Vid lmao
The worst thing is that those people actually think they’re good at the game and call “cheater” anytime they see a better player
It's not their job to differentiate between good players and cheaters. I don't really think it matters at all, definitely not "the worst thing".
I redownloaded Black Ops 4. The difference is astounding. I logged in and was like Oh Yeah We Can Vote On Maps. No separating lobbies. I had forgotten how fun Cod could be. I guess ill keep playing BO4 until it is no more.
After I unlocked dark matter i feel hardly any motivation to keep playing.
The sniper and launcher challenges should be a Geneva violation.
"Camo grind seems painless enough"
80 hours later...
Makes me laugh so hard that they're still putting ranked play in because is literally pointless because cas is more competitive if anything 😂
I typically run around doing melee regardless of the lobby or map selected (unless Scud pops up 3 times in a row). I put the baseball bat down once I unlocked the diamond badge at 500 kills. Now I only use it to humiliate people. It's also a good counter to people knifing as it has more range and locks them into a kill if you heavy melee them.
Using sniper rifles is making me hate this game. 10v10 is the only reason I'll keep going
Since the Krig and Saug are in the game now you can replace the free fire launcher and the baseball bat. Dark Matter requires 33 weapons, no specifics.
Dude congrats on getting dark matter! Been working overtime a lot and man, being an adult really does pull you away from video games lol
You don’t get tired of making this video? We know what Activision is about at this point
The thing that people don't understand about SBMM either is that No matter what your skill level is your lobby is going to be extremely hard because if you're a .5 KD player you're getting put with other .5 KD players so therefore it's hard for your skill level and if you're a 3KD player you're getting put with other 3 KD players it's actually stupid so no matter what your skill level is or how good or bad you are at the game the challenge is the same regardless it's honestly not even protecting the low scale player
3 triple kills with a baseball bat or a knife 🤣🤣
Chill Dude, SBMM is never going to change so if it’s driving you crazy find something else to play. Their are plenty of other fantastic games floating around for you to dedicate your time too, weather that is to replace or supplement your time playing COD is up to you.
Also I know you’ve been playing COD for a very long time but never become content at your skill level. SBMM kinda discourages players from trying to get better but I grinded MW2 + MW3 Ranked quite intensely and I feel I’m the best I’ve ever been at COD in my 10+ years of playing the game.
As a result of this, it’s very rare I have a bad game. The better you are at the game the harder it is for SBMM to deal with you.
I slowly watched as my games got harder and harder now I’m barely going 1.0kd every game. Some games I shred then it’s just miserable, thinking of just calling it and only focusing on zombies
What's interesting to me is how Activision states that SBMM is a reason that people are playing call of duty more, but they fail to mention how they've added way more challenges to the game and maybe that's why people are tied to the game more but they're just correlating it with SBMM and SBMM is actually the reason that I quit playing call of duty.
They changed something. Im Prestige 9 because I grind out the masteries, camos and calling cards in both zombies and MP and since the hitlist update, something definitely changed. Im getting matched with sweaty PC players on console, their sensitivity is through the roof, the aimsnap on me behind cover, prefire when I run around a corner, it's a crazy difference compared to a couple days ago. I can't get a longer streak than 2/3, where I could easily get bloodthirsties before midweek.
I’ve really enjoyed the game this year and I get a few sweaty lobbies but it doesn’t stop my enjoyment for the game whatsoever
Hardcore Stakeout and Gala were the go-to for me when it comes to headshots. The only time I hopped into core was for the snipers, melees (except for the baseball bat triple kills where I lobby shopped for HC Stakeout) and one of the DMRs that had a 1-shot headshot potential in core.
Can absolutely relate with the launcher challenges. For the majority of the camo grind people were continuously spamming streaks, but suddenly when it was my turn to get dark spine for the launchers, no one started using any (C)UAVs or turrets. It was frustrating.
I am of the opinion that these challenges should never be dependent on other players. I don't necessarily mind the headshots, double/triple kills and bloodthirsty challenges. If my memory serves me right, one of the challenges in Black Ops 4 required you to shoot down SAM turrets to get one of the mastery camos for the launcher.
the worst thing about it is that sbmm doesn't even put you against good players it just puts you against campers, especially on nuketown, they just sit in the back of the map and im always pushing just to get sniped by someone in their spawn so i usually just play with my friend since his lobbies are easier and less sweaty and campy but when i play by myself its hell
I literally went through this EXACT routine I just finished all the dark spine and the last thing I needed was that god awful HE launcher, by the time I was done I was literally just walking left and right and the noobs couldn’t hit me I was in awe
