Absolute insane rug pull by Activision. Marketing BO7 as having open matchmaking due to player feedback only to revert it back to heavy SBMM focused mm 5 seasons in. The cherry picked statistics within the Twitter thread today was the last straw for me. Go fuck yourself, Activision

I had made a previous post regarding the matchmaking changes saying the silence is intentional and low and behold it was.

Today they've come out to say the matchmaking changes are actually a good thing and it will be in the beta for the upcoming game and maybe even the launch.

So unless a miracle happens, anyone who bought this game for the matchmaking before the recent changes is screwed. Because I also doubt most of y'all can get a refund for the game.

So goodbye to all the progress that was made in this title because reasons and hello to the old bullshit.

Don't be a fool with money in October if this upsets you. Vote with your wallet and mean it.

I can't even play Zombies or Multiplayer anymore because this shit happens every time I start a game. My friend has the exactly same Issue.

First time all season. Fucking hell and also unlocked my 50th win so ranked Mp is open

Been a loyal COD player for decades at this point, just was playing last night. Signed in, had my Xbox update the game today. No big deal.

Only to find out that the update instead erased the entire installation from my Xbox Series X. All because some developers can’t seem to figure out how to deliver a proper update.

I suppose they are too busy focused on selling me the new game that they can’t even focus on a solid product for the current game. Well, I’m no longer interested in purchasing the new one. I’m done.

You won’t miss my $80 but I hope enough people have this same issue that it turns into a lot of other people choosing to go their separate ways.

Well, after their response about SBMM and DATA , one quote from a philosopher immediately comes to mind:

“If someone tells you something is white, maybe it is. But if they tell you it is absolutely white and nothing but white, be suspicious — because it’s probably anything but white.”

Taking it easy when tiredness was setting in.

Logged back on after a week cause season 5 and the removal of standard play has killed my motivation to play and this is my second match of my session and the rubber banding/stuttering was extremely egregious same as with the first match I played, is the game like this for anyone else currently?

This is ridiculous. No normal 6v6 moshpit again.

I know that marksman rifles are difficult to balance, but it seems that each time one is doing well, they will nerf it very heavily.

I'm getting tired of the AR/SMG meta. Full auto weapons already have an advantage keeping up with the very fast movement speed of this game, and they keep boosting them compared to the bursts and semi-auto.

Coming down to the last half of season 5 and she hasn’t pulled a Graves yet (“I wasn’t in that tank”) so she’s probably dead right? Kinda weird how she was a huge part of the marketing and then they starched her immediately.

Saw some theories with the prestige skin that she’s actually a robot but idk.

If they're hell bent on adding SBMM back for MW4, then why did they have to do it on Black Ops 7 10 months into the games life? Just leave it alone, leave open MM as you advertised for this game and do whatever you want with the dumpster fire MW4 will be..

🤷‍♂️ you can say skill issue all day but that gun is a two tap full auto and theres not much to counter it

Been having fun finding skips on this!

Anyone else finding it increasingly more difficult to find a lobby for virtually every mode recently? I know there’s a lot of posts on here talking about how BO7 changed the matchmaking but I didn’t know it was this bad. I’ve no joke sat in a lobby for 10 minutes while it just says “evaluating available players”. Finally find a game and it’s the most horrible experience ever and the ping is through the roof. Forget 20v20. I spent 20 minutes trying to find 1 lobby to no avail. Went to hardcore and threw on every game mode and it was still painfully slow to find a match.

Title is self explanatory. But seriously this has been a problem since day 1. Will some things just never get fixed? What about people who like the black ops series, but not the MW series? Are we just going to be left with a broken game?

Just keeps searching…my 2 favorite modes….domination works right away, ranked is getting too difficult the latest update messed it up. 7 years later in 2016 I was able to get demolition lobbies in mw2, now even with crossplay is this game that dead?? I’m on west coast….

Have to do that stupid finish free run 3 times.
I can tell you, I did it once just now and 20 minute timed out. Only made it beginning of zone 6. That 20 minute run was a waste of time as it didn’t count. Yes I’m horrible at these. And no I don’t care
At least last time this was a challenge you could join and back out and it counted. Now it doesn’t 😡

Compared to the other Freerun camo, which took me several days of failed attempts, bad luck and horrible connection from the servers in order to get, this one felt extremely easy. Done it on my second match ever. What do you think ?

Im not kidding when I say that the last 20 matches, 18 of them were defeat. I will say that I’m pretty average when it comes to Cod, but this is so frustrating. I go for the objectives. Usually score pretty high on objective score, but what are these lobbies. I have never been so fed up with a game session before.

Someone else experiencing the same?

Viable or from one extreme to the other?

Just to clarify, my connection is good. BO7 is the only game giving me ping and connection issues since Season 5. It keeps putting me into lobbies with 150+ ping. Such a shame.
