News - Call Of Duty's Busiest Week. Sbmm, Nx1, Warzone 2 Season 2 Multiplayer News
Connection comes first; it's the most critical weighted factor. Now personally. I don't know how much I believe that yes, we do get decent ping, but if I'm living in a very populated area with. I'm sure, many, many people logging into Call of Duty every day at all hours. I find it very hard to believe why I should get games where my ping is at 7800 milliseconds.
In a very fast-paced game like Call of Duty, it matters that it varies so much. Another thing that makes me not believe it is that it'll vary so much and so fast within the same time period of me playing the same play session. Whatever you want to call it, it varies. So much that I feel like it's not true.
Yes, they try to find you within the same general ping time frame and mitigate as much packet loss as they can. I do believe that, but when it starts to calculate all these other factors, it really hurts your matchmaking experience, and it does not feel like Ping is King. It feels like that's the first layer, the first filter that it gets pushed through, but not the most important.
I feel like for it to be the most important, there would be a set level that it never passes through, a threshold that it never passes through, and loosen the restriction on these other aspects. Rather than ping to also filter in these other aspects, then there's time to match. now I do believe this one is fairly true, but I think it hurts the matchmaking experience a little bit because you'll find a lot of time, especially with these desanding, lobbies that you'll be put into games that are already in progress, and that's because your time to match is so low because they already found a game just for you if you're solo, so hop right into it theoretically.
It's a good idea, but when it starts to impact things like that, I don't feel like that's in the players's best interest. When playing in a game where you're halfway through it, everybody's already positioned, especially in the way that Call of Duty is playing now. Positioning is almost everything.
It's hard, and it doesn't make it a good time for playlist diversity. I think that one's pretty self-explanatory. The number of playlists available for recent maps and modes, considering maps you have recently played on as well as your mode preferences editable in quickplay settings. Yes, we have our quickplay filters; that's kind of like us choosing our own matchmaking there, so I can't be too upset about that.
Here is the big one: skill and performance. This is used to give our players a global community with a wide skill range and the opportunity to have an impact in every match. If you know my articles, then you know my take on skill-based matchmaking—do I feel like it's somewhat necessary? Yes, it can be loosened more; yes, every game does not have to be sweating to just get a 1kd.
That's what ranked is for Call of Duty used to be a game that I could just turn my brain off, react, and play and have a good time if I got bombarded, and [__]] on that's completely fine with me if I'm really into it, and I'm cooking like that should also be fine, and I understand there should be a skill bracket for lower players that can't perform as well, and they don't want to lose that group of players.
That makes sense to me. One thing that always made Call of Duty special to me was that each game felt different; each game had variety to it, and I feel like it loses that with skill-based matchmaking, with everyone ending up being around one KD, because everything is super balanced. It makes the game more stressful when it shouldn't be, like if I really wanted to focus up and get into the game, then I should be able to play ranked in that way.
Am I a hard-core Call of Duty fan? Yes, but do I want to play it in that sense all the time? No, I'm not a pro player; I'm just someone who really loves the franchise, and I want to have that experience. I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. I could adapt. I could get better, but what's the sense of playing every game that you have to try super hard for when you don't want to when you just want to enjoy the game?
That's my little rant on that. I understand both sides of the argument. That's just my opinion.I digress. I just want to give my thoughts and opinion on the news from Call of Duty that we had all last week. It's been a really eventful week when it came to Call of Duty, so I'm glad that I waited till the end of the week to really make this article and touch on everything.
