For some reason, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:skill-based matchmaking has become a contentious issue in today's era of battle royale games. Detractors say that SBMM makes it so that all the great players have to play against other players of equivalent skill, reducing their overall K/D stats as they have to perform better than very difficult opponents. Thos𝓡e folks just sound like crybabies to me, but whatever.

An🃏other complaint (especially for extremely high-level players) is that SBMM reduces the available "pool" of players so much that it tak💞es a really long time to load into a match. That's a legitimate concern, so most games use a combination of queue time, connection quality, and skill level when determining who plays who online.

For a long time, many players assumed that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty d🍌idn't use skill-based matchmaking for all of its various multiplayer game modes, but it turns out that's not the case at all.

Technology director Martin Donlon at Treyarch set the record straight on Twitter recently, correcting a player that said Call of Duty🥃 4, Modern Warfare 2 & 3, and Black Ops 2 all didn't use skill-based matchmaking.

"They all had SBMM," Donlon , even going so far as conf𒆙irming that .

It's too soon to tell exactly what sort of matchmaking algorithm will be used in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, but rumors from earlier in the year point to at leas♓t some form🧔 of SBMM. Modern Warfare certainly uses SBMM, but prioritizes connection speed over player skill. It's less clear what matchmaking is used in Call of Duty: Warzone; Infinity Ward has said that there's no SBMM in Warzone, but players conten𝕴d that there's at least some form of skill-based matchmaking taking place just based on anecdotal reports.

Black Ops Cold War just completed its 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:open alpha test on the PS4, so we’ll likely have to wait for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:open beta to begin in October for more clues on how matchmaking 🅰will work in the new Cal💟l of Duty game.
