It survives on nostalgia. People always talk about kids playing COD, but every time I’m in a lobby with people talking, it’s always men in their late 20s and 30s.
The trust has gone to the point that we don't trust killcams, Ricochet, Activision and more importantly; each other. A few years ago if you saw someone with a rare item like a completionist camo, TOP 250 calling card or prestige emblem you'd realise that you just got outplayed. Now you question everything in the killcam you already can't trust and this trust issue affects all skill levels too. Doesn't matter if you're a casual, a grinder, a sweat or a streamer as we're all constantly questioning if what we're seeing is genuine.
From my understanding Activision is legally required to give people their personal data upon request. My guess is they’re letting people run with the downed website theory for now while their team of lawyers are figuring out some legal loophole to weasel their way out of this.
@DUIDave-s1k yes. But on their website they say any player can request it. They are setting themselves up for a lawsuit they will unlikely win in the US if they don't do it
I don't know what's going on with COD. But they need to do something drastic. First of all. They NEED to completely separate Warzone from the main game. Trying to shoehorn in all these new features every year that breaks the game. They should implement new features slowly, perhaps through LTM's so it's thoroughly tested by players before put into main WZ modes. Or preferably implement an Experimental branch like every other game. Also. They can't treat COD (MP/Zombies etc) as a "live service" and at the same time charge people EVERY year for a full priced game, with Battle passes and all the jazz. If they continue like this. All the Activision studios might be separated by regulation. It's just a sad time as a fan of the franchise since the beginning.
Hell yes brutha. This is exactly right. They should also charge $60 for warzone, take the money and upgrade their servers and anti cheat. No hackers are going to pay $60 every time their account gets banned. Win win.
The primary issue surrounding SBMM, is that in COD it is NOT 'skill based matchmaking' but rather an engagement optimized matchmaking system that incorporates 'skill' as a weighted metric among numerous other factors. EOMM in the context of COD is highly manipulative and opaque - neither of which is a positive. It is like in Plato's cave - the moment you see the shadows for what they are you cannot go back - The moment you recognize the manipulation at work in COD, it cannot be unseen.
Agreed, being matched with players of a similar skill level doesnt bother me, its that the whole experience feels manrufactured. One thing that I don't see enough conversation about is that these matchmaking systems almost cetainly take money spent/monitization into account aswell.
Legally i believe it is 28 days from submission of request that they have to send your data to you. That data can also be deleted on request, but doing this would probably delete your whole cod account.
Call of duty SBMM is, in my opinion, designed to keep players playing longer sessions and increase store menu exposure. SBMM isn’t meant to make the game playable for more people, that’s incidental. I also want to know how ping value impacts SBMM. Used to be you’d have a couple servers to choose (I’m in Eastern time zone in USA) and you could be the most skilled player of the server. Now it just feels like an illusion of playing a game just to keep a server populated via manipulation and stacking the deck. There should be two skill level tiers and that’s it and move us back to locale based match making and add server browsers for choosing more challenging servers instead of dying by ping. The number of times I’ve died from a shot that, on the server was a hit, but on my client side I was well beyond solid cover. It kills the experience of competitiveness and skill, undermining its misnomer “Skill Based” match making. Increasing ping because you’re better than everyone on your closest server means that your skill isn’t what you’re testing. Now you have to do Kentucky windage on your entire gameplay and anticipate being shot out around a corner or just before making it to cover. I can’t judge tactical options when it’s all being manipulated for the sake of keeping a larger, marketable audience.
can tell you from personal experience if your SBMM number is too high you can't play on your local servers and get kicked to a different country for match making
I think the fatigue comes from the many bugs with the game that we've also seen in the past. On top of that, we get an anti cheat that can't even detect running cheat programs, despite being at "kernel" level.
Yeah, the problem is when you request the data half the time it won't even register your account and log in. And then when it does it just says an error occurred when attempting to submit.
@gatlin1320 I'm sure people probably do that sort of stuff on warzone all the time, but he's missions away from the player and also leading the bullet aswell.. it's just unreal! 👏👍
Just a thought. You have the right to ask for the data collected on you to be deleted as well...i wonder if that might reset what they have collected and reset sbmm
I presume there is a time limit as to how long they have to release that data that people have requested, I haven't looked but there normally is with these types of requests I believe skill to be only one factor they're taking into account when deciding what lobbies you get put into with the EOMM system
What would be cool is at the start of a match everyone in the match listed their K/D in the chat, so someone could record it and then find the lobby average K/D. But I just know if anyone asked the lobby to do that they’d get told to STFU.
Cod has all this data Think about that Headshot rate Wall bang rate They can easily ban Cheaters with higher than normal rates and they refuse Because cheaters buy skins too
It seems simple enough to just ban anyone with a 100% headshot rate, but then the hackers figure out they just need to get a 99.99% headshot rate. Then the devs lower it to 95%, so the hackers adapt by getting 94.99% headshots. This goes back and forth until the devs have reached the limit of how low they can go before accidentally banning tons of non-hacking players. Ricochet is probably the worst anti-cheat on the modern gaming market today, so I’m not defending it. I’m just saying anti-cheat in general is a very complex issue that has no easy solutions.
I had to stop playing its too rigged. I have ms and stress makes the symptoms worst. I been playing this game since the first cod . Sad greed destroyed this game
I've stopped playing purely because SBMM stripped me out of fun. When I'm winning i know is only because the system let me, and since the realisation I've lost all the will to play
The guy manually exporting this Europe GDPR data from the databases for all of us that submitted requests lately is the same guy working on the anti-cheat :P
I definitely think they track your tendencies/paths you take around the map then match u against ppl whos tendencies are the opposite as yours like the perfect counter to your play style. COD timing is at an all time high it happens dozens of times a game compared to old cods where it was a rare occurrence & its the only logical explanation for this & It wouldn’t surprise me if they were tracking your keystroke/input data like how fast you press certain combinations of buttons etc to also measure players skill levels.
Yeah, all the credibility is gone and I think the damage might be beyond repair this time. Stopped playing a month ago and have no intention to give them another shot. To many other good games out there that actually value me as a consumer.
Yea, Im still grouping with by buddies on the weekend, and I love verdansk.. but I'm like 1-2 crashes or hackers or lag spikes away from uninstalling the game.
The other problem is there's no titles that are close to this if you want to play anything similar you have to play something like valorant or something else like that...
I've held a 4kd for a bit but truly believe it's due to being put in low skill lobbies. Guaranteed something to do with "this mfker has the worst decision making...ever..."
I noticed how stupid strong Activision's SBMM/EOMM system was when returning to COD MW 2019 after a post BO2 gaming hiatus, and as an exclusively lone wolf player. It's absolute trash. Add that to anti-community building issues like post match lobby drops?! It's as if the entire soul that made this IP what it was has been sold to the devil.
Bringing back cod.tracker would help a lot. Back in wz1 me and my friends where addicted to checking the daily/weakly KD progression and checking the lobby KD and checking the KD of the player that killes you was so underrated fun.
The i got my request true finally at 2nd jan. Still have not recieved anything. Im also pretty sure im on the blacklist, that may complicate stuff as well. (Yes they do have a patent for blacklisting players too ofc)
I quit playing (on PS5) a month ago mainly because it got unbearably sweaty. I blame the ttk, the sbmm and the stupid omnimovement. Cheaters deserve a high five as well.

And there is no other games to contest them at all in the same genre All the other genre shooting games are sci-fi and you do stuff like picking people up and freezing them and all kinds of magic type stuff
Hacks me off no end that we’re getting updates for shit like squid game but we can’t get sheer basic updates to make the game actually run, not improve it, just fucking run.
This franchise will never change the way they treat the players. You’d be better off literally dropping this game and focusing on making content on another game. Hopefully your channel survives and take off because atp this sounds stressful lol.
first Cod i've purchased in 5 years wanted to try it out again. But with all the nonsense i've run into in BO6 i definitely won't be buying another Cod. I personally would rather get trounced repeatedly in lobbies that i know are random than this ridiculous SBMM mystery system. At least then i knew i had a chance and wasn't throws against five lobbies of super sweats after a single decent game. this game has become a job if i want to "have fun" it used to not be like that.
Hard to tell as remember BO6 is now free with gamepass too, so a lot of people might have switched to that instead of buying BO6 as a one off payment for 1 game, they can pay and have a whole catalogue of games instead. The other issue is, no new Warzone map Also 5:54, disgusting 🤣
SBMM/EOMM ( or what ever they call that BS ) in MP cod.....waiting for ages to get a high ping lobby, full with sweats and cheaters and most of the time in progress....oh what a fun..... haven't touched it in ages, i moved on to games that are fun to play!
I stopped playing a few weeks ago. Tired of the same old same old and their obsession with psychological manipulation for me to play instead of just fixing what we want.
I've just switched to Arma, Dayz, Rivals. Arma gives me all the coms I've missed, the game is much more exciting than Cod. I can't even play cod with friends because I play against crimson and iridescent players, they are playing against gold players at the highest. Nobody talks, I've hit players with the entirety of the 100 drum for the xm4 to only die to a few bullets to the foot after. I'm noticing so many cheaters. I used to be a cod crack head, but now I don't even feel a withdrawal. Also, people that buy items from the store are just contributing to this game being trash. We live in a capitalist world, don't buy a thing from the store, play less, don't even buy the next game until it goes on sale after a few months or skip it all together. They won't change a thing if people are still playing and buying items with real money. Cool, you bought a skin you can't see for thirty dollars.
They don’t care about steam players or PC players . Most of their player base is on console . Unless console players stop playing there won’t be any change and the machine will keep on rolling.
Im back in Battelfield V and Im having way more fun... its sad cos I like Warzone but the state CoD WZ is in right now its not fun. for me the servers and the lag/desync issues are the worst. Im not supergood so I dont end up in lobbys with loads of cheaters, but 25% of the time it works OK and I get some kills but 75% of my matches I magdump players and nothing happens then they kill me in 1ms. I really hope EA releases a free Battlefield BR later this year, If they do that I think Activision have to do something radical to keep the player base.
Battlefield was/is 💯 better than cod.. Sad that so many people love mostly cod over BF but again, people are makin McDonald's 63.625 million dollars a day, its complete garbage food just like cod is a garbage franchise..
I really dont care how they do their matchmaking. It is what it is. Fact is there are no other games like it. I think pubs have been great lately, maybe because the streamers and whiners have left but the games have been high octane even if I dont get the win. (I mostly play duos)
All of you should stop complaining. Been enjoying this game the most in the past 2 years. There are loads of us who like playing this version. Keep hating. Stay salty.
While the game is a buggy mess riddled with cheaters, this one has the best movement mechanics out of any other COD title that’s ever come out. Probably just a skill issue on your part (sorry)
i remember back in mw3 about 3/4th of its lifecycle i decided i completely stop playing cod as its not getting any better. well seems like it has been going downhill since and im glad i left this steaming pile of shit behind
activision only make COD for their shareholders and not for the players. once the game has been bought thats it they have their money. we as a community need to stop buying what they put out. stop buying the premium passes and events and bundles. as long as they have nice comfy profits each year they dont care and will make a game just good enough that we will be desperate to buy and play the new one. the only way to get them to listen is to hurt them the only way possible and thats hitting their bottom line. they half ass everything except for the shop dont they. maybe if we hurt their profits they will finally listen to us. until then i think we are urinating into the wind and getting soaked expecting them to give us some respect and a game that functions at least semi decently
why people play / make content on this absolute dribble of a game is beyond me. everything about it is garbage. sad state of affairs really, thousands of deluded cod addicts

Bring back DMZ it's not casual
they're so lucky console doesn't have delta force or really any good shooter games at all lol
its funny how these systems work flawlessly, but the game itself is a broken mess
All of you should stop complaining. Been enjoying this game the most in the past 2 years. There are loads of us who like playing this version. Keep hating. Stay salty.
Everyone I know is no longer hyped about Verdansk returning as long as it's tied to this shit movement and current state of gameplay.
While the game is a buggy mess riddled with cheaters, this one has the best movement mechanics out of any other COD title that’s ever come out. Probably just a skill issue on your part (sorry)
i remember back in mw3 about 3/4th of its lifecycle i decided i completely stop playing cod as its not getting any better. well seems like it has been going downhill since and im glad i left this steaming pile of shit behind
You close with that but ms couldn't give two fucks that halo fails every time there not going to bother over call of duty imo
activision only make COD for their shareholders and not for the players. once the game has been bought thats it they have their money. we as a community need to stop buying what they put out. stop buying the premium passes and events and bundles. as long as they have nice comfy profits each year they dont care and will make a game just good enough that we will be desperate to buy and play the new one. the only way to get them to listen is to hurt them the only way possible and thats hitting their bottom line. they half ass everything except for the shop dont they. maybe if we hurt their profits they will finally listen to us. until then i think we are urinating into the wind and getting soaked expecting them to give us some respect and a game that functions at least semi decently
COD is exhausting at this point. Bro i just want to play some games and relax. This extra nonsense reminds of high school dating, shit is whack.
Players are leaving because the cheating is getting out of control again.
I started the boycott 3 weeks ago
This dumpster fire of a game deserves its demise. Can anyone tell me why I can't equip a Kar98 even whilst having a blueprint for it?
It might be a wildcard issue. Build the Kar from scratch and see what happens.
@lj5190 only have the blueprint won't let me select a fresh build, tried with all wildcards other than gunfighter of course
@@DeCicco1300 That's strange. I'm not sure what the deal would be. I currently have a loadout with the Kar.
Battlefield has always been better prove me wrong
I've bought the last few years but I'm just tired of it I wont be buying this year
I think it is time for streamers to quit Call of Duty. The game would be in a better place.
why people play / make content on this absolute dribble of a game is beyond me. everything about it is garbage. sad state of affairs really, thousands of deluded cod addicts
combat master is free and 1000000x better. the best cod ripoff ever
BO6 is alright, everything to do with warzone is a massive turd. Do yourself a favour and play something else
u speak so boerinmg
This games dead as disco
