You are 100% correct. I'm not even that good, I have a 1kd.... the people on my team dont know how to plant the bomb, and I have Faze Scopes on the other team.
Or they just want to get kills and pretend they will get some sweet clips. People act like because you don't do what I think you should do on my team it means you're 100% bad and not just making bad decisions this game.
Idk has marksman suggested his solution to the 1 shot sniper problem? Only thing I've heard was him saying it's easier to balance them on 100hp, but switching back to 100hp is not possible.
@djabouty47 I'm sure he has tones of pointers that viewers don't care to listen to and if I'm not mistaken in a previous video his words were "This has to get nerfed" when talking about not just the recent sniper but ones that have 1 shot before.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with one shot snipers as long as the shot is fairly high on the body. Snipers are meant to be like that but I can understand y it’s a problem.
I mean like the katt realistically in a real life situation anywhere about the waist at best you might live with half a body. Go watch what .50 caliber snipers do for damage.
CoD was a passion project back then. They weren’t thinking about the money. They just wanted to make the best arcade shooter possible. Then all the OG devs left to do other things and were replaced by execs who made the focus to squeeze as much money as possible from micro transactions and the gameplay took a backseat.
@@terribletimes902 well considering to make money back in the day you had to actually make a good game, the focus was on the gameplay. now they release the same horrible game year after year chalked full of microtransactions and make 10x.
Marksman we are in a different era of cod where all the good devs left and went to make other games the devs we get now can't make a cod game to save their lifes and we all can tell they don't know what the FUCK they are doing. I miss the older cod games the golden era of cod.

Love that they can ruin features like the tac cam by making it so you can access your teammates camera, and by making it so if you try to go back into the camera while you have another one ready it will constantly try to throw another camera. They can fuck that up, for no reason, but cant fix shit like the invisible gun glitches, or going under the map, or out of bounds area markers being wildly inaccurate.
I don't understand ur tac cam complaints. What's wrong with being able to see ur teammates tac cam too? Also I haven't seen the "unable to access tac cam without throwing a new one" glitch u are talking about.
@djabouty47 my point was that they changed it for no reason while having hundreds of other bugs they should be working on. Tac cam is like lowest priority but has been broken forever
My wife (who I met playing OG MW3), me, and my three regular teammates for over a decade quit COD around 6 months ago. Dont miss it. Like its not about pub stomping, we legit cant NOT use non meta guns if we want to have a chance. That coupled with sound whoring, camping, etc.....we finally said fuck it. AND THE SBMM.....like I can drop 30 in respawn, but Ill consistently get someone who has never played feeding the enemy team, going 2-17 Didnt think we'd leave, but it had to be done. I hope you can move on from this franchise, eventually
As a fellow 15 year cod player.. I 100% understand and agree with your pov on cod. I wish we could go back to the “good ol days” of cod. Unforgettable great memories on the og games. Except advanced warfare. No one has a memory other then a bad one of that game lol
I absolutely loved Advanced Warfare at the time it came out, it was new for its time and brought a lot of positives. I think you confusing Advanced Warfare, which is at least a 6/10 COD for the community with the trash Infinite Warfare. Infinite Warfare was by far the trashest Call of Duty ever made, that they had to bring out MWR in the same year. BTW I've been playing Call of Duty since Bo2 prime days, so 2012, so about 12 years now and Advanced Warfare in my opinion and many others is it wasn't a terrible game, there's definitely been way worse CODs.
I feel for you bro. If I played cod every day i would be very unhealthy mentally. Cod hiring you would be the best thing to ever happen to the franchise
You have described all the reasons I just stopped playing cod. Plus the people on this game are annoying. They act like being good at cod is their entire life.
i enjoyed infinite warfare. sad the game was plagued by hard to find lobbies because everyone went to mwr. but there was no excuse for IW to take months for basic features to get added
We can also talk about that it did have a pick 10 system too in IW. I enjoyed the game but I was apart of the few that went back to bo3 instead of going to mwr
I enjoy all old cods fr but I think maybe the similarities between iw and aw were made even before the game was out and when it was out the game as a whole wasn’t that good. Just my opinion.
The lack of customer service for a franchise this big is concerning and a little disgusting. My CoD account that I had since 2011 got hacked and subsequently banned and I've been trying to get my account back for 3 weeks to no avail. So currently that's my problem with cod :\
Happened to a friend of mine too. Account suddenly gone, a lot of wasted money and All he got was an autogenerated message from the AI support bot. They apparently can't do anything in this case. He still doesn't know what exactly happened to his account. If you contact them about spending money in any way they reply with an actual answer.
Having started playing cod in OG MW3... it's laughable that they say SBMM was the same. Like you say sometimes you were stomped on and other times you did the stomping... it felt way more authentic instead of feeling played by the game
I'm here since early 2016 watching you on Twitch and cod! I think I have listened at least 90% of your videos since 2016 and still love every video you post because I enjoy your way of doing things :)
Remember games were for fun, you could use whatever you wanted and have fun with a game, now a days you have to put effort into playing tdm, campings everywhere, op guns, sweats. I miss fun gaming
You’ve been an inspiration man and as an older cod player it’s incredible how these studios only cater to what makes them more money. The game will never be the same but people like you help make it better by your sheer skill and amazing content. Keep doing you and growing as a person man!
No, you did not have to use a point in black ops 2. You actually had to not select a weapon to have the knife available to you. I may be wrong, but that was added to BO3. You had to spend a point to get a knife in BO3.
5:12 Marksman is right about the nuke after nuke, it's like today where all these "Pro / Meta Classes" everyone looks at are just people using overpowered guns in the most brain dead lobbies where no one can shoot someone that is moving faster than themselves unless they're camping.
Been a cod fan since I was about 12 im gonna be 30 this year and it’s Insane to see CODs history repeat itself i remember watching rant videos like this in Highschool and here we are again
Ya know its even the little things that piss me off sometimes, like the profinity filter, give me the option to turn it off Like seriously am I playing roblox? Why do I need to think of creative ways to say the B word?
My opinion won't matter here but I really resonate with the group of CoD players who have just given up because of the SBMM turned up to 11 and increased aim assist for controllers. I was the same and grew up on console playing CoD. I finally was able to build a PC and was doing decent especially after figuring out KBM. You can even feel the increases of SBMM and AA between MW2019 to current. It's maddening and I simply won't ever spend money on this franchise again and I'm sad about that.
Funny thing is they fixed the knife problem on ranked multiplayer but not on regular pubs lmao they just want to protect the trash players instead of their loyal ones
Another point that doesn’t get across often is that back in the day studios only had 1-1.5yrs maybe even less to make a new title and their games came out good compared to the 3yr cycles that we are in now. Dogshit.
@@ChazWeisbeck FR. I played origins for like 2 years after its release anytime multiplayer became annoying the whole squad just got on origins and started vibing.
Used to watch you from the very early bo2 days when I was 12-13, I’m 23 now and I’m so happy you still upload and much respect for playing year by year
Matchmaking was PERFECTLY FINE without SBMM. There was always a good player, a few average players, and a bad player or two on each team. A bell curve of skill
World at War was when I started and I’m so glad to have started back in that era of cod. So many good simple systems that made each of those games so good!
They need to bring back the original prestige system, when it actually meant something. If they need to add a bonus for prestiging so be it, since I’m sure people wouldn’t want to restart from scratch. But that’s what made the prestige tokens such a valuable asset.
I'm not buying, who said and asks of COD Franchise, unacceptable for disrespect COD Franchise for the past years and none of them learned their lesson, and regretted, everybody's problem for disgusting action on CALL OF DUTY, Unforgivable.
16 year COD player here and I completely agree with everything you say. Hell, I don’t even play cod anymore because I work all day and only have an hour or so to play on an evening, which makes it physically impossible to have fun with skill based match making. So frustrating!
I've been playing CoD ever since OG MW2, and the team balancing/SBMM is just absolutely ridiculous now. The fact I have to carry little timmys that are only level 2, while I go up against enemies that are max level should simply be something that NEVER happens. They've only made it worse and worse every year, and I'm personally done with it. I won't be playing anymore future installments of multiplayer in this franchise again, and I'm gonna cut off multiplayer completely once MW3 2023 stops receiving new content.
i agree! they add all these kits for guns and they are OP as shit THEN they nerf them so hard that they aren’t even worth using anymore. they can’t find the “fine line”
With the theater mode thing I'm pretty sure they've just over inflated the game to a point where they just don't care to try to implement it or the literally can't because they've made everything so complicated for no reason other than they felt like it. Activition gives no f**ks about their players and it's just become so blatant in the past few years that I've pretty much lost hope in anyone being able to make another good cod ever again. I've been playing cod since Black ops 1. I don't have 17 years into it but I have spent half my life playing these games and it sucks getting shit on by not only the greedy devs but people online who just make fun of people for wanting to play CoD. I appreciate everything you've done over the years. Your dedication to a dying franchise is respectable as hell and we'll always be here for you if you decide to start a new chapter.
They nerf and buff every gun multiple times it’s so annoying. I feel like I have to do homework every week to make a class, just for it to get changed again.
I remember back in bo2 there was so many red dot colors/variations for the same few sights it had, but now the game has 20+ unusable ass sights that u can’t even customize the color of. Sad
my biggest two gripes with this game atm shotguns are useless ( the mw2 wooden shotgun was nerfed to the ground for some reason ) the smg meta, its so boring that if you want a chance you have to use a smg
funny enough the only way to have a knife in bo2 was to unselect a secondary as a whole, not to mention melee fights in that game were so stupid it didnt matter if you had a knife or not 😂. i remember side stepping people to get them to lunge off the map. great times
Go back to the old games… if you guys want real change, STOP PLAYING THE NEW GAMES!!!!!!!! It’s literally such an easy solution that NO ONE USES, and I don’t understand why…
9:23 If I recall, I don't think the bo2 combat knife cost a loadout point. It was just given to you if you didn't pick a weapon in primary or secondary slot. Knife in bo2 did kinda suck balls though, so it made sense
Can confirm that when AW came out there was a noticeable difference in how matchmaking felt. I also remember it being a hot topic on TH-cam and Twitter as well so like….. is Activision just trying to gaslight us into thinking we are idiots?
Honestly, I left COD because Multiplayer games where I had to try my ass off to win resulted in me hitting a state of Depression for years until I just cut them out entirely. Seeing how much further it's gone down in the last 5 years has only proved to me that I made the greatest decision in my life, but also makes me feel upset for the people like Marksman who truly don't want to leave and WANTS to have the game become better, but they have been forced into the minority and left behind by those in power, and it fucking sucks.
I will always stand by the opinion that cod could be an unmatchable franchise if they simply just took YOUR feedback. You know the ins and outs better than anyone, you have a passion and care for the franchise and the playerbase, you understand the fundamentals of what made the older games good and what it takes to have a fun cod game. Unfortunately they’ll never listen to the people who know what they’re talking about because listening to you would require hard would instead they just add a new weed bundle to the shop for their braindead burnout playerbase every couple weeks
SBMM is the main reason cheating is so rampant IMO. Casuals got tired of not having fun and cheating gave them the advantage to have fun again in sweaty lobby after sweaty lobby
Honestly man, I stopped after MW19, I just knew how this new era of realism was going to end up. Especially with COD, Apex was breached, and Fortnite is beginning to child proof the game. I still play in all, but man you could just see the difference since you’ve started.
Every good feature implemented in every cod should have been put in the follow-ups to make the ultimate call of duty. The combat record of bo1. The scorestreak system in bo2. The pick 10 system in bo2. The specialist system in mw3. There are many more I can name. But these people for some reason are more interested in going backwards.
Look, my biggest gripes so far are the UI and MW3 ranked. There is absolutely no weapon variation, because they took them all. And this most recent patch narrowed down it down even more. Moved over to WZ until they get their shit together.
Been around forever Nick and it's a different environment online now. The money is too large to try and make a good game that won't fuck you over in everyway. SBMM, terrible cosmetics, awful maps and terrible balancing decisions. This style of CoD is gonna stay until regular people get fed up with it
I’m subscribed and used to play all cod but it progressively got led and less fun and annoying to spend so much on that so now I just watch u play and enjoy your content bc it’s better than me playing 😭
on a small side note, i hope we get specialist back too. ive been around since BO2 SND elite days listening to marksmans in the mind and help commentaries (theres one on raid specifically thats ill never forget) series. good times, hope there will be another top3 cod game but we'll take what we can get until cod final digs its own grave.
Sbmm making it so you can mess around is a massive reason why it sucks, if I don’t use meta I just die I can’t use shield or whatever because I’ll just go 2-10 and get clowned on cus everyone’s trying
I quit playing cod because of the SBMM. I don’t want to sweat my ass off every single game I play and want to causally play with a shit gun or whatever once in a while but that doesn’t happen anymore.
The skill based matchmaking is the reason my dad quit playing cod he used to have such a good time on bo2 but the more heavily the sbmm got the less he could enjoy it he just wants to play a couple games when he gets off work but the game just throws him in lobbys he can’t even compete against like I’ll never understand how sbmm is in the pub playlists when it IS A RANKED SYSTEM
I atleast had fun playing Infinite Warfare, this game did not have the new gen SBMM that was introduced in MW 2019 that completly ruined all COD's since.
Sbmm put me late into a 0-3 game. I finished the game 18-4 with the score being 6-4. The game single-handedly put me into a bot lobby to save kids using mw2 snipers on 60 fov that they totally would’ve lost. How is that fun for me or the enemy team. The next game it throws two iridescents using ram-9s and complete noobs on my team and I’m just like are you serious what is this right now. That’s why I have an issue especially when they folllows me into my ranked games where when I’m trying to progress through silver I’m playing against full stack plats because it decides I’m good enough to play plats and shit even though I’m not in that skill division.
I’ve done the same thing the last two cods I’ve played (mw2, mw3). I play for about 100 hours, get in sweaty lobbies with shit players on my team, then I quit playing. In those cods that I listed, I can actually count on my two hands how many games I don’t finish at the top of my team when I’m trying with good guns. It’s so ridiculous and not fun when I’m 1v5
Preach brother. COD devs have no idea what goes on in the game because they haven’t played in years. I’m especially irritated by them constantly gaslighting about SBMM. I was on a winstreak in ranked at gold, it teamed me with 3 bronze who queued in on accident against an all platinum team. You’re constantly punished for winning.
Started at COD4 modern warfare when I was 9 years old, didn’t even get to the first prestige in this game. It’s been a lot of fun times but I’ve finally given up. Good luck with cod marksman I’ve been watching/ a fan since BO3
You just had to be there for COD4, WAW, MW2, BO1, MW3, BO2. I am glad I got to experience the golden age of COD.
its crazy to think that those 6 games are also some of just the best games of all time as well.

You are one of the realest and most honest content creators I've ever seen 😂
I'm here since early 2016 watching you on Twitch and cod! I think I have listened at least 90% of your videos since 2016 and still love every video you post because I enjoy your way of doing things :)
Same
Remember games were for fun, you could use whatever you wanted and have fun with a game, now a days you have to put effort into playing tdm, campings everywhere, op guns, sweats. I miss fun gaming
Ty for carrying me btw
Get your K.D up your making marksman do all the work 😮💨

Where are you in the video?
Weird how much I find you outside of Discord
You’ve been an inspiration man and as an older cod player it’s incredible how these studios only cater to what makes them more money. The game will never be the same but people like you help make it better by your sheer skill and amazing content. Keep doing you and growing as a person man!
No, you did not have to use a point in black ops 2. You actually had to not select a weapon to have the knife available to you. I may be wrong, but that was added to BO3. You had to spend a point to get a knife in BO3.
You are correct I was also thinking about that when he talked about it
I mean hes on a rant, the emotions are flowing, cut him a bit of slack since the games wernt released too far apart
Yea but the knife was terrible in bo2
@@Djspitsfacts He has access to all cod's to do his research. Did the same thing on Twitter. I'm not buying it.
@@karmaplus87 What’s your point? He forgot one small detail. His overall argument still stands.
‘You wanna protect Timmy…get him off my f*****g team!’ HAD ME ROLLING 😂😂
warzone ranked is unplayable 5 days in a row and hackers in every lobby and there not even trying to fix it.
5:12 Marksman is right about the nuke after nuke, it's like today where all these "Pro / Meta Classes" everyone looks at are just people using overpowered guns in the most brain dead lobbies where no one can shoot someone that is moving faster than themselves unless they're camping.
Shitters being put on your team is too true, im so bored of winning games because I’m there, it’s so boring when if I don’t do everything we lose
Just let your team lose in those situations maybe itll change eventually lol
@@xVxEsports it’s like every game 😂 just lose constantly then
Haven't played COD in about 4 years after grinding it for almost a decade. Sad to see what the game has gone to.
This only goes to show how far Infinity Ward has fallen and why Sledgehammer should be helming the series

Been a cod fan since I was about 12 im gonna be 30 this year and it’s Insane to see CODs history repeat itself i remember watching rant videos like this in Highschool and here we are again
Bo3 was the start of the fall with black market and this is the result😂
Ya know its even the little things that piss me off sometimes, like the profinity filter, give me the option to turn it off
Like seriously am I playing roblox? Why do I need to think of creative ways to say the B word?
Protect little timmothy 😂
😂
My opinion won't matter here but I really resonate with the group of CoD players who have just given up because of the SBMM turned up to 11 and increased aim assist for controllers. I was the same and grew up on console playing CoD. I finally was able to build a PC and was doing decent especially after figuring out KBM. You can even feel the increases of SBMM and AA between MW2019 to current. It's maddening and I simply won't ever spend money on this franchise again and I'm sad about that.
Your an amazing content creator brother
Funny thing is they fixed the knife problem on ranked multiplayer but not on regular pubs lmao they just want to protect the trash players instead of their loyal ones
At this point marksmen I’m here with you for the long run. Your just an enjoyable content creator to watch
You gotta realise the cod formula is terrible. The reason skill based match making is bad is because cod is bad when you play good players
Notti gang ❤ ya homie
301+ gang
Another point that doesn’t get across often is that back in the day studios only had 1-1.5yrs maybe even less to make a new title and their games came out good compared to the 3yr cycles that we are in now. Dogshit.
call of duty also used to have a phenomenal zombies mode which peaked for origins BO2 which was arguably better than multiplayer
Origins was the peak of zombies I agree
@@ChazWeisbeck FR. I played origins for like 2 years after its release anytime multiplayer became annoying the whole squad just got on origins and started vibing.
Used to watch you from the very early bo2 days when I was 12-13, I’m 23 now and I’m so happy you still upload and much respect for playing year by year
Matchmaking was PERFECTLY FINE without SBMM. There was always a good player, a few average players, and a bad player or two on each team. A bell curve of skill
World at War was when I started and I’m so glad to have started back in that era of cod. So many good simple systems that made each of those games so good!
Bro you and xclusive ace could balance the guns better than the devs 😂
They need to bring back the original prestige system, when it actually meant something. If they need to add a bonus for prestiging so be it, since I’m sure people wouldn’t want to restart from scratch. But that’s what made the prestige tokens such a valuable asset.
The fact that the HRM is like the only SMG I get killed by in Warzone, I completely agree that the weapon balancing in the game is shit
I'm not buying, who said and asks of COD Franchise, unacceptable for disrespect COD Franchise for the past years and none of them learned their lesson, and regretted, everybody's problem for disgusting action on CALL OF DUTY, Unforgivable.
16 year COD player here and I completely agree with everything you say. Hell, I don’t even play cod anymore because I work all day and only have an hour or so to play on an evening, which makes it physically impossible to have fun with skill based match making. So frustrating!
Skill issue gid gud or get out
@@TheACTIONZ you're a nerd with no friends, guaranteed.
@@Betchuwont mad cuz bad
Lmao I don’t play the game anymore so where exactly should I get out from?
It’s amazing to me how many things call of duty is doing worse than they did 12 years ago
I've been playing CoD ever since OG MW2, and the team balancing/SBMM is just absolutely ridiculous now. The fact I have to carry little timmys that are only level 2, while I go up against enemies that are max level should simply be something that NEVER happens. They've only made it worse and worse every year, and I'm personally done with it. I won't be playing anymore future installments of multiplayer in this franchise again, and I'm gonna cut off multiplayer completely once MW3 2023 stops receiving new content.
i agree! they add all these kits for guns and they are OP as shit THEN they nerf them so hard that they aren’t even worth using anymore. they can’t find the “fine line”
the models haven’t been nerfed and them shits are buuusted
This is honestly something that needed to be said watching the video hell who else to hire that knows the in and out of cod that marksman hire him
With the theater mode thing I'm pretty sure they've just over inflated the game to a point where they just don't care to try to implement it or the literally can't because they've made everything so complicated for no reason other than they felt like it. Activition gives no f**ks about their players and it's just become so blatant in the past few years that I've pretty much lost hope in anyone being able to make another good cod ever again. I've been playing cod since Black ops 1. I don't have 17 years into it but I have spent half my life playing these games and it sucks getting shit on by not only the greedy devs but people online who just make fun of people for wanting to play CoD. I appreciate everything you've done over the years. Your dedication to a dying franchise is respectable as hell and we'll always be here for you if you decide to start a new chapter.
They nerf and buff every gun multiple times it’s so annoying. I feel like I have to do homework every week to make a class, just for it to get changed again.
Been watching marksman since OG mw3 and I can’t even stress enough how much people needed to hear this message in this video
I think the knife didn’t count as a point in the pick 10 system, you didn’t need to choose a secondary and it would give you the knife
In bo2*
it didnt, but the regular knife you got as default was horrible.
I remember being a kid watching this guy play bo3 search, crazy your still doing it keep the grind up man!!
11:23 i don't even play the game anymore, but I'm here for the vids
I love his rants. He makes such good points and has the experience to back it up. Tell ‘em Marksman!
I remember back in bo2 there was so many red dot colors/variations for the same few sights it had, but now the game has 20+ unusable ass sights that u can’t even customize the color of. Sad
my biggest two gripes with this game atm
shotguns are useless ( the mw2 wooden shotgun was nerfed to the ground for some reason )
the smg meta, its so boring that if you want a chance you have to use a smg
3:23 i didnt know i was watching a Blame Truth video lmao
I miss theater mode. Was good for editors and could also help with cleaning up the cheaters. Pretty sure Cold War had it if I’m not mistaken.
Advanced Warfare had the pick 13 system, which was the pick 10 that also involved your scorestreaks.
funny enough the only way to have a knife in bo2 was to unselect a secondary as a whole, not to mention melee fights in that game were so stupid it didnt matter if you had a knife or not 😂.
i remember side stepping people to get them to lunge off the map. great times
Go back to the old games… if you guys want real change, STOP PLAYING THE NEW GAMES!!!!!!!! It’s literally such an easy solution that NO ONE USES, and I don’t understand why…
9:23 If I recall, I don't think the bo2 combat knife cost a loadout point. It was just given to you if you didn't pick a weapon in primary or secondary slot. Knife in bo2 did kinda suck balls though, so it made sense
Streaming and esports really killed having fun in multiplayer games
Can confirm that when AW came out there was a noticeable difference in how matchmaking felt. I also remember it being a hot topic on TH-cam and Twitter as well so like….. is Activision just trying to gaslight us into thinking we are idiots?
Honestly, I left COD because Multiplayer games where I had to try my ass off to win resulted in me hitting a state of Depression for years until I just cut them out entirely.
Seeing how much further it's gone down in the last 5 years has only proved to me that I made the greatest decision in my life, but also makes me feel upset for the people like Marksman who truly don't want to leave and WANTS to have the game become better, but they have been forced into the minority and left behind by those in power, and it fucking sucks.
I will always stand by the opinion that cod could be an unmatchable franchise if they simply just took YOUR feedback. You know the ins and outs better than anyone, you have a passion and care for the franchise and the playerbase, you understand the fundamentals of what made the older games good and what it takes to have a fun cod game. Unfortunately they’ll never listen to the people who know what they’re talking about because listening to you would require hard would instead they just add a new weed bundle to the shop for their braindead burnout playerbase every couple weeks
SBMM is the main reason cheating is so rampant IMO. Casuals got tired of not having fun and cheating gave them the advantage to have fun again in sweaty lobby after sweaty lobby
Honestly man, I stopped after MW19, I just knew how this new era of realism was going to end up. Especially with COD, Apex was breached, and Fortnite is beginning to child proof the game. I still play in all, but man you could just see the difference since you’ve started.
Yea and all these new mw games look exactly the same, and it looks like infinite warfare. They’re so bad
I’ll always cherish finding Marksman during the peak of BO2. Those were the good days!
Every good feature implemented in every cod should have been put in the follow-ups to make the ultimate call of duty.
The combat record of bo1.
The scorestreak system in bo2.
The pick 10 system in bo2.
The specialist system in mw3.
There are many more I can name. But these people for some reason are more interested in going backwards.
Look, my biggest gripes so far are the UI and MW3 ranked. There is absolutely no weapon variation, because they took them all. And this most recent patch narrowed down it down even more. Moved over to WZ until they get their shit together.
Been around forever Nick and it's a different environment online now. The money is too large to try and make a good game that won't fuck you over in everyway. SBMM, terrible cosmetics, awful maps and terrible balancing decisions. This style of CoD is gonna stay until regular people get fed up with it
I’m subscribed and used to play all cod but it progressively got led and less fun and annoying to spend so much on that so now I just watch u play and enjoy your content bc it’s better than me playing 😭
on a small side note, i hope we get specialist back too. ive been around since BO2 SND elite days listening to marksmans in the mind and help commentaries (theres one on raid specifically thats ill never forget) series. good times, hope there will be another top3 cod game but we'll take what we can get until cod final digs its own grave.
“Sometimes I just wanna have fun” *proceeds to drop 33
Man it was the good ole days when sbmm was a thing just with random lobby.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose but you get better
Sbmm making it so you can mess around is a massive reason why it sucks, if I don’t use meta I just die I can’t use shield or whatever because I’ll just go 2-10 and get clowned on cus everyone’s trying
I quit playing cod because of the SBMM. I don’t want to sweat my ass off every single game I play and want to causally play with a shit gun or whatever once in a while but that doesn’t happen anymore.
Just wait, GTA 6 is arriving……at some point
Man, these devs and higher ups need to hire people who actually play their game.
Dude the pick 10 system I FUCKING MISS IT😢
The skill based matchmaking is the reason my dad quit playing cod he used to have such a good time on bo2 but the more heavily the sbmm got the less he could enjoy it he just wants to play a couple games when he gets off work but the game just throws him in lobbys he can’t even compete against like I’ll never understand how sbmm is in the pub playlists when it IS A RANKED SYSTEM
I'm glad some one with an audience said this and I'm glad there is some one like you to make cod videos fun to watch
I atleast had fun playing Infinite Warfare, this game did not have the new gen SBMM that was introduced in MW 2019 that completly ruined all COD's since.
Sbmm put me late into a 0-3 game. I finished the game 18-4 with the score being 6-4. The game single-handedly put me into a bot lobby to save kids using mw2 snipers on 60 fov that they totally would’ve lost. How is that fun for me or the enemy team. The next game it throws two iridescents using ram-9s and complete noobs on my team and I’m just like are you serious what is this right now. That’s why I have an issue especially when they folllows me into my ranked games where when I’m trying to progress through silver I’m playing against full stack plats because it decides I’m good enough to play plats and shit even though I’m not in that skill division.
I’ve done the same thing the last two cods I’ve played (mw2, mw3). I play for about 100 hours, get in sweaty lobbies with shit players on my team, then I quit playing. In those cods that I listed, I can actually count on my two hands how many games I don’t finish at the top of my team when I’m trying with good guns. It’s so ridiculous and not fun when I’m 1v5
Preach brother. COD devs have no idea what goes on in the game because they haven’t played in years.
I’m especially irritated by them constantly gaslighting about SBMM. I was on a winstreak in ranked at gold, it teamed me with 3 bronze who queued in on accident against an all platinum team. You’re constantly punished for winning.
Started at COD4 modern warfare when I was 9 years old, didn’t even get to the first prestige in this game. It’s been a lot of fun times but I’ve finally given up. Good luck with cod marksman I’ve been watching/ a fan since BO3
