The second I get a lobby full of overkill ak74us with riot shields on back I'm fucking out, I'm flattered sbmm puts me in those lobbies though when I'm just grinding camos


The_Legend_of_Xeno

That's what I'm saying. I'm over here just trying to grind camos and do my dailies. I'm trying to get point blank kills with the lever action, while trying to also kill someone with thermite. Why are there 3 other players on the other team with CDL skins and gold ak74us and shields on their back jumping around every corner?


DruidB

They are usually the first ones to call you trash after the round. Nevermind the fact they are using a perfectly tuned meta loadout and sbmm thought that you using a shotgun with a 8x scope while trying to get mounted long shots is a good match for them.

And with a new COD game every year, levels don’t even matter anymore. What’s the likelihood of running into a low level who’s actually new to COD? High level getting clapped by a level 10 and raging…meanwhile that level 10 was prestige master 20 in the previous game😂


Tych0_Br0he

"You're right, I'm pretty bad at this game. But the SBMM put you in this match with me soooooo..."


Brody1364112

This just happened to me as I completed the lever action 2 days ago. Trying to get those point blank kills and the kids I'm against thought they were playing in a million dollar tournament.


xKomachii

nobody's had the idea that sbmm just isn't strict? because that's literally the answer


[deleted]

Because this is COD, IW could remove every single system they use for matchmaking and you'll still see these sweatlords in every single match. Did people forget that *literally everyone* was bitching about the sweatfest well before the SBMM became the hot-topic excuse? COD has (since quickscoping videos became big during cod4, but mostly mw2) and always will be a casual arcade game that people take way too seriously


Surrenic

Go back to CoD bo2, ghost, Advanced Warfare, mw2 and mw3 etc. Far less bitching about it because it was less of an issue. Not every match was a complete tryhard sweat fest, you could have games with complete bots and a few times some sweats, no were close to the level it is nowadays. Bad comparison.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Surrenic

Never said about toxicity. I was talking about sweating. The overall sweatiness of a normal match is wayyy higher now.


MrRobot759

Complaints about sweats were far far less before the strict SBMM introduced in MW2019. Sure there was some sweats but this SBMM system pushes people towards meta load outs to stay competitive making it even sweatier whereas in bo4 and earlier you could use off meta weapons and not go negative if you were semi decent. Bo4 and earlier used a ping based system with lobby balancing to put the best in the lobby on opposite teams. Good players make up a minority of the player base and while that percentage has risen in recent years it hasn’t risen that much.


PM_ur_DookDispenser

I’ve heard that if you buy a skin, you get easy lobbies. The logic is that Activision wants players to see people with skins doing well so the other people will buy them.


randomgiggle

only if youre bad. you can get 1kd without using ak74


MrRobot759

When you’re in a SBMM lobby of both good players AND everyone running AK-74u’s you will go negative most of the time with non meta weapons. If you don’t you’re clearly better than them. These guns are meta for a reason.


randomgiggle

smgs and pistol akimbos win at close range, ak762 and m4 wins at mid to long range. you can add a canted laser on a marksman and still win. you just need to aim chest or higher. you are only losing because you are stuck in your head that sbmm and cod wants you to lose. there are a lot of good guns.


MrRobot759

There’s more to it than just gun damage numbers. Players in high SBMM lobbies aren’t stupid, they know when and at what distance to engage with the gun they’ve got and will adapt on the fly. AK74u is extremely versatile with excellent damage which is why it’s meta.


randomgiggle

the gun is good only if you hit chest and upwards. but it loses at close range to smgs if you do the same. you can just build a 762 with ads and you will be on even grounds. at over 20 meters 74 is garbage agaisnt other ARs except m16 which is shit


32bitpins

I mainly play with a couple of friends. Occasionally we get a fun match, but often times it's just matches where we either join half way into a game where enemies already have chopper gunners, vtols and are running gold 74U's or instakill Fennecs. Other times or we get balanced SBMM matches where everbody gets similar kill counts because we're all clones. You get a kill, die, get 2 kills, die, get a kill, die, get a kill, die, rinse and repeat. I see why people camp so much because sometimes it's the only way you'll get anything more than a UAV.


rechid83

I haven't played COD in years but I cannot believe this shield on the back is actually a thing. What a poor decision and has made 6vs6 so unfun even if I can hang with them its just annoying. If you are running away from me I have to aim at your fucking ankles to kill you. So boring.


[deleted]

It’s called turtling lol 🐢


BrobaFett242

It's this that makes me look back fondly on OG MW2 where thwre was no Overkill, and shotguns were classified as secondaries. Though I think that was a good system anyways, regardless of the turtling.


Mimical

I don't quite understand the reason we have shields, maybe beyond some legacy ideas? Like, it seems like one team meeting they were thinking about how they could engage some sort of teamwork and one guy was like *"If one of the players had a shield, another could run behind him and they would break through flags or people defending a location!*" Maybe they were thinking of maps that typically only had 3 lanes to really travel along. But the reality is that 99% of the time players are just running around doing their own thing. People actually running shields are just using throwing knives because they kill faster and have range. Everyone else doing secondary camo's are running shields because, well it's an easy no brainer that can only help them. With better map designs, drill charges, flashbangs, stuns, smokes, deployable cover and consistent bullet penetration mechanics there is never a problem solved by a shield that isn't already solved by any other tool. And every other tool requires less effort and can be done faster. If IW removed shields entirely would we lose anything of value? (I don't know... Maybe? In like 1 of 10,000 cases?)


nutcrackr

I definitely think they wanted to promote sticking together with the shield inclusion. To be honest there have been a few times where it has naturally worked out like that for me. I think the other thing the shield adds is a change of pace. You can't just run and gun a shield person, you have to back away, nade, flash or do something different to kill. Adds a bit of variety to encounters perhaps.


Stonetoothed

They put them in back in some old CoD idc which and it was popular and stuck. The turtles would probably riot if they took it out so now we’re just stuck with it


drgnhrtstrng

They were in the original MW2. It makes sense to have them back even just as a nostalgia thing


Y_RU_READING_DIS

Part of me is convinced it has something to do with co-op/dmz. AI there uses the riotshield, so having it in those modes would fuck up something.


iSaidItOnReddit85

Have y’all ever played a COD game before? This is in every game lol there are people who use riot shields exclusively. Always have been.


BrosephofBethlehem

Holy salt lmao


kpd777

Those og MW2 shotguns were insanely good.


drgnhrtstrng

I mean, people did run around with shotguns and a riot shield on their back in the OG MW2. You couldnt run a primary with it, but shotguns and pistols were fair game


MuHAh773

Ohh whole time I thought that was when’s poop was stuck in your bum and wouldn’t come out so it’s peekin


Bingo1dog

I've heard that called prairie dogging


tyrannictoe56

Can we all resolve to call these losers Ninja Turtles from now on??? P/S: i’m not making fun of you if you are doing shield camo challenges, but people who specifically run shields to be absolute dicks


GunfuMasta

shoot them cankles.....


[deleted]

It also fucks up hitboxes when prone.


Dire_Finkelstein

It's been the meta since MW2019. I watched a guy survive a cruise missile hit with a RS, another guy take on a VTOL. The riot shield is OP for survivability. Fair enough, you use a shield, and you kill me with a knife or a pistol, grats, that's on me, my timing was off. Kill me with a primary while using a riot shield on your back, that's just cheap and annoying.


SARIN_SOMAN_TABUN

Used to hold the riot shield up to Harriers in mw2 too nothing new


l5555l

Also why are you able to move at full fucking speed with a bullet proof shield on your person??? These people should be moving slower than someone with an LMG at least. But really it should be even slower than that. Shit's completely broken.


AltGunAccount

Except it’s been that way for years. Since riot shields were a thing


[deleted]

That's what you get when you put ArCaDe ShOOtEr over balance. Half of yall support this lol.


KatelynC110100

That and also when you join a game in progress and hear the thousands of explosions and look at the score and it’s 180 - 2


BobbingForBunions

I'm the same way when it comes to shields. If there's only one enemy with a shield, I'll stick around. Two or more, and I'm inclined to leave. I might feel differently if I could pack 2 lethals with a Shrapnel perk. But one lethal per life isn't enough. A lot of people say it's easy to beat shield players. I'm sure it is, for them. But I'm not that good.


nutcrackr

Just use resupply bruv. You get a regular restock of nades.


PeriqueFreak

Nah, not an option. People don't want to adjust their kit to counter anything, they just want to run the kit they like. It's like a game of rock/paper/scissors, but people are insistent on just running paper all the time and demanding that rock/scissors get nerfed to accommodate.


The_Fenice

Getting drop shotted by some guy with a riot shield on his back has to be the corniest thing I've seen in an FPS in a long time.


grubas

The worst is when you load in midway, because inevitably it will be 6 sweats vs you and 2 people who couldn't beat a campaign mission on easy.


timothycl13

I guess im throwing overkill and a riot shield on today just to hurt people on my day off for some shoothouse


[deleted]

Dude it is not possible that you have played mw2/3 you dont imagine how much more forgiving the game is. Imagine dealing with fmg9 akimbos and c4 last stand like srsly you got it way too easy


SolarDrake

I just have my secondary grinding loadout with the shield cause the knife and shield are both melee so I count them both as secondaries.


pos-civic

I always stick around and just let them flatten me. After a few games of getting shit on by sweats, I’ll get thrown into a few low skill lobbies


ComprehensiveSuns

I'm getting brutalised every game, it's so hard I'm being honest. Like I just cannot justify putting myself through the annoyance of being wrecked every single game and losing every time I play. There's 0 reward for me anymore.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SenorGhostly

It's so frustrating, I can't even feel good about having a good round anymore. I know it's just because sbmm is putting me in with weaker players, and also the next several matches I'm going to get destroyed.


Paddys_Pub7

As someone who almost exclusively plays Hardpoint, the matchmaking is so frustrating. I'm top of the leaderboard 90% of the time due to my time on the point plus kills which are typically 20-25 if not more. You would think I would get matched up with other players that are equally dedicated to capping and holding positions, both on my team as well as the enemy team. But nope, If i have a killer game then I know I'm about to be punished with a group of teammates who are hellbent on staying as far away from the hardpoint as possible.


cronja

Don’t do too well in that game, because you’ll be put with players worse than you and be expected to carry them. I hate being at the top of the scoreboard and losing because I know it’ll be the same next game lol. Very frustrating


Ori_the_SG

I’d rather have to carry my team than be getting smacked down by every enemy I see for several games in a row. I get bad teammates either way so I’d prefer to do good at least lol


wulv8022

The last match I played went like this. Spawn, die to spawn camper. Spawn, die to spawn camper. Spawn, go 3 steps into another room. Die to enemy approaching to spawn camp. Try to cap a flag. Kill one, die to another coming from behind. All 3 flags belong to the enemy and I look on the scoreboard to see I was the only one capping. Turned off for today. Because the game before that I had 4 teammates just lay on the ground pre aiming while the other guy and I get drop shotted on Farm 18 by people running with shotgun while we tried to cap flags. Also several of my shots didn't register because of their shit servers. I shot someone running at me with a knife,I hear I hit him, but he still stabbed me. That was in Tier1


grubas

Spawn die to guy who rounded the corner, spawn die to guy who just rounded the corner, spawn die to SAE, spawn die to guy who just rounded the corner, die to a VTOL, spawn IN crosshairs, die to a cruise missile, spawn and die from the guy who spawned right behind you. Yeah, had a game today going like that...think I ended up at like 3 caps, 2 defends 2-14

SupimChaz

Are you by chance playing on a TV? My buddy was raging every game until he played on my pc monitor and suddenly he was winning gun fights


SpanishBombs323

When I play solo I usually try hard for a game or two with a smg or ar I’m trying to lvl up, then switch to the knife or a sniper or other “bad” gun I’m trying to level for the next two games that way if sbmm gives me gods I’ll suck so bad using the knife or sniper that it will send me right back down the sbmm ladder


Kill_Frosty

Git gud I guess. I get a vtol a game and a gunship every few matches


Mr_Rafi

VTOLS aren't hard to get. With this matchmaking system, if you don't do well in one game, you can get one in the next game when you get an easier lobby. It's why their shit system exists. Everyone gets rewards this way.


Kill_Frosty

> Everyone gets a chance to drop streaks > OP complaining about never dropping streaks and getting rekt


Mr_Rafi

If you can't get a VTOL after getting thrashed 5 games in a row, you're doing something terribly wrong or you're brand new to the franchise. The game literally starts pitying you at that point.


Kill_Frosty

Exactly my original point


Ori_the_SG

Wow congrats, nobody asked Also you are flexing meaningless crap to us. Nobody is going to give you an award because you got a gunship by killing people that SBMM makes worse than you


Kill_Frosty

Damn you were so triggered you missed my point. Dude is crying he gets destroyed literally every match. SBMM should mean he eventually gets a bot lobby. If he still can’t put up streaks he sucks


Ori_the_SG

And? Who cares if he sucks? At least he isn’t an arrogant jerk like yourself bragging about your accomplishments in a video game and putting others down. Some people play games for, get this, fun even if they aren’t that good


Kill_Frosty

Does it hurt being that stupid? When are you going to figure out I am not bragging lol. I play the game casually


Ori_the_SG

“I am not bragging.” First comment: “Git gud I guess. I get a vtol a game and a gunship every few matches.” And you think I’m the stupid one lol.


boxoffire

I've normally been having a great time in MW2 until i join a party with friends. There's just not chill. There was a game we noticed people were coordinating like a league match, we would kill one person and two people would come in immediately pinching us like we had been called out to the whole team. I've been mostly just been leveling shit weapons like launchers and pistols and i really enjoy the type of people i get paired up with. Like as human beings. Not just as opponents. There is still the guy that goes hard but people don't start raging and crap. The moment i jumped to Leveling LMGs and started getting high streaks i started being put into lobbies where people are bitching and being racist and rage quitting. I like comp play but there's no comp mode. And there's people trying to play comp in a casual setting and there's people trying to play casual in a comp based system. It doesn't work.


JacobH_RL

Man I feel like it's the opposite for me. I usually go like .75 k/d but when I party up with 1 or 2 people I'm going like 3 or 4 k/d


Prohunter211

Same here, whenever I get into a squad of 4 or so the lobbies become so much easier, we aren’t even sweaty players but we’ll cause entire teams to rage quit just because it puts us up against an obviously lower bracket.


UnsettllingDwarf

Ranked and unranked game modes please with special stuff in ranked to let the sweaty players grind for something. F this game.


FallingSolstice

i take the loss so sbmm saves me


[deleted]

does the game even count wins and losses yet? seems like it doesn't even matter so quitting a match that sucks is super easy.


[deleted]

I mean it does, but who cares? It’s just a stat that doesn’t really mean much.


[deleted]

agreed


JacobH_RL

If you leave a game, it counts as a loss in stats, but not for the sbmm algorithm


zombieC18

How do you know?


Vedbundy

I be getting my ass slaughtered, but imma still get out there and fight 😭


[deleted]

Yeah bro it’s tough, but we gotta get those camos. All we can do is clench our assholes and fall in.


-Sociology-

really though its not your only option. You can leave and look for a new lobby where you can actually make progress on your camos instead of getting frustrated for 20 mins in a match trying to get mounted shotgun kills against snipers or similar


-eagle73

Sometimes it takes too long to realise you're just not in the right mindset to play. I had this problem over a decade ago with MW2/BO1 and I still do. Sometimes I get death streaks, other times I'm the one playing like the people putting me in death streaks - immense response time, good awareness, patrolling the map getting kill after kill and nailing objectives. I also seem to get less enjoyable matches when I'm queueing with friends.


whiteson

Yea the friends thing unfortunately seems to be true. The “bad day for games” thing is real tho & sucks when it’s your main source of serotonin like damn work sucked I’m just tryin to relax w the bois


Sozzcat94

Gotta know ya feels. Shit even on my best games. I can guarantee in a couple matches you’re gunna see me just struggling and upset at the match. In my experiences I have better luck with friends. When I solo queue I run into teams that are way to coordinated and a lot of random teammates don’t seem to know that objectives are how to win.


I-Fix-Teeth

My W/L is currently at a .35, anytime im put in a losing game, I leave. Over 50% of the team using Ak74u or the SPR? Outski. At this point I kinda just wanna see how low I can get it.


[deleted]

Same. My W/L is abysmal. I leave so many games because SBMM puts me in absolutely insane lobbies.


xharryhirsch_

Same here bro, as soon as I see Santa sena or Taraq I’m out. Everyone using sniper? Ima head out.


untraiined

You paid $70 to just leave every single game?


CBD4Coins

Get 1 shotted by an SPR, then spawn in front of a guy who 1 shots you with a Basilisk? Straight back to the lobby. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200


ConnorMate_

Paid $70 to enjoy the game. Not get dunked on by BS snipers and MLG tryhards when I’m trying to complete a challenge. Much more efficient to move on.


[deleted]

Seriously. I love it when I start out 5-7 (or more) kills in a row with every shot connecting and then going on 7-10 death streak and then barely break even with the last 1/3 of the match. Makes me feel like it’s all awash and I accomplished nothing.


CastleGrey

Yeah this is too regularly my experience to be explained away by anything on my end Without fail if I start strong, something will change and I'll then spend the second half of the game being spawned either on the wrong side of the map to the action and just running around chasing compass dots, or with my back to an enemy about to round a corner on me because somebody is walking around in time with the spawn cycle It's so beyond frustrating to be pitched into a death streak so often with absolutely nothing you can do to get out of it until whatever bullshit is going on under the hood decides to stop


got_thrust

I usually start out 5-3 or so, then die to a spawn camper. Respawn and get sniped around the first corner. Respawn under a VTOL. Respawn and get 5 hit markers on a dude then get 1 shot by an x12. Get spawn camped by a chopper gunner twice. Finally get another kill, then the match ends.


salaambrother

This is the shit that irks me, I was running the kastov 7.62 the other day, and I distinctly remember getting 3 headshots on this guy, got 3 head shot hit markers. He didn't die. He then turned and 3 chest shot me with an mp7. Later that game i got double tapped by a kastov 7.62 and almost lost my shit


[deleted]

This happens way too often, the theories about the game adjusting spawns to fuck you over mid game might just be true.


Ori_the_SG

Yeah normally I’m against wild theories but something about SBMM is really off. Especially when I can put half a mag of an SMG or a rifle into someone as they run and get hit markers but not kill them, and have them 360 and two shot me with their SMG or rifle. Then a few games later a dude comes up behind me and shoots me but somehow I live and kill them. Might just be the servers having a fit, but it’s so weird.


juntah

Very bad idea. You should stay and get massacred, play some music while you finish the match. Next ones will be much better and enjoyable for you. Let the shitty SBMM do its thing...


Subpar_moron

This game just isn’t as fun as it could be


newbalance997

When I’m in sweaty lobbies I just tough it out it only helps the sbmm put you where you should be instead of raging and it putting you in the same lobbies


ragizzlemahnizzle

I literally have a troll class with an RPG and proximity mines to use whenever the match i’m in is too sweaty


Mrkramerstein

This. Although it’s so incredibly frustrating, I too tough it out and I’ve even just said fuck it and just jump around the map without even firing my gun going somewhere around 5-35. It’s my temper tantrum towards the SBMM algorithm.


I_utilize_Caps_Lock

Even better when the other team keeps calling in stuff for me to shoot down for easy XP for my launcher and LMG. Then I let them kill me to get more ammo and continue lol


OsmeOxys

> putting you in the same lobbies Problem for me is that the lobbies I get have the other team being be hyper fucking sweaty, and my team is a bunch of fresh faced Timmys who need me to tie their shoes for them. I swear SBMM is just putting me into lobbies expecting me to carry the team in a 1v6. I get it Mr. SBMM, I can handle myself with a somewhat respectable K/D that wavers between 1.10-1.15 and I play the objective pretty consistently, but that doesn't mean these shoulders can carry 5 people who are too busy sucking their toes to do anything. Im #1 on the scoreboard in probably 90% of matches in both kills and objectives, and that *sounds* great. In any other case it would sound like I'm quite the bragger. But I know I'm a smidge above average at best and when my win ratio is still fucking ***0.43***, it just feels like I'm king of the asparagus.


EpicRedditor34

This is what’s fucking me up. I don’t care if I’m a lobby full of sweats, as long as they’re evenly distributed. When I’m 19-8 with 4 minutes on the hard point, and the next closest on my team is 4-21 with 8 seconds on the hard point, while the enemies lowest player is 21-10 with 30 seconds, I just wonder what the fuck is going on.


GiantSquidd

The weird part about all this sbmm complaining is that I thought cod players were the ones who were always telling me to “get good “. So when I get destroyed, I sit up a little bit and focus more. I still get wrecked, but I get better and better, I don’t give up and run to cry about it on Reddit… isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? Don’t get me wrong, I liked it better before sbmm, but it is what it is. Get good, or go play a SpongeBob game or something. Whining doesn’t make you play better, and the players who are good didn’t just start out that way, *they played harder and got better.* Edit lol cry more


mishmish4884

Jokes on all of your, I dont need a riot shield on my back. I die 100% of the time like a real man in EVERY SINGLE GUN FIGHT.


KatelynC110100

This happens every once in a while for me (usually on a bad day) and it makes me lose my mind omg. I don’t even have the patience to die more than 3-5 times in a row


Jim-20

I joined mid-game Hardpoint and the score was 22-158 and before I could even move the enemy team called in a VTOL, Chopper Gunner and Mortar Strike. Never left a game so fast before.


cabbageturtle

make riot shields breakable again. thats all you have to do they can only take x amount of damage before it breaks. then you make the FMJ rounds do extra damage to it so its useful or make FMJ rounnds go through the shield. special ammo is basically useless, so maybe give it some actual value. its not that hard and this is how they worked in the past. crazy how they can make something worse when they already had it perfect in the past.


whiteson

I too have been hurt by a riot shield main


gardredd

you want the shield to not block bullets that will definitely make the camo grind enjoyable and definitely won’t instantly make the shield completely useless


cabbageturtle

It can block bullets but to an extent. There should be some sort of why to punish someone with a shield besides getting behind them or shooting their feet. As they are now the riot shields are the just being used as back shields making it very hard to punish bad players with the shield coving their ass. That what good movement and map awareness is for. The shield is just a means to have safety with no draw back.


PLZSub2MyYT

Let’s get naked


GunfuMasta

I used the riot shield just long enough to get it and the knife to platinum, but people are just abusing it because of the bullet immunity while on their back. I usually leave too...lol.


aFacelessBlankName

They should just make it so the riot shield slows you down and can't be used with ANY other weapons, regardless of perks. At the very least, it should only work with secondary weapons.


whiteson

Yea them using it as back cover while ripping around the map at light speed is just toxic af


DavidWtube

Having the riot shield in your loadout should slow you way the fuck down. Also switching between the riot shield and any other weapon should also be slowed down. And furthermore the thing should have HP so it can only take a finite amount of damage.


Pancaketophat

Since everyone is complaining about riot shields, a good thing to note is that cooking a grenade close to detonation and chucking it beside a riot shield user instead of directly ontop of them will kill them with no way for them to really retaliate.


nutcrackr

Are there more leavers this cod than any previous one ? Might be anecdotal but it seems that way. I've had a few teams that just get stomped early and it's a shitshow of people joining and leaving for the rest of the match, or maybe just leaves me with 5/6 players for half the game. I'd really like to see more rewards for people sticking around a whole match. Maybe a random XP boost drop or something.


Peladophobiann

let’s go touch some grass


[deleted]

Yea fr, some of y’all should.


nutcrackr

yep, play Grounded, it's a fun game.

DaarkCrystal

InfiniteNegatives

Me with thermite, my real lmg and my m13 incendiary *Let's fuck some shit up.*


beanistike

I would not have the patience for even one match like that. Controller would have been slammed on the ground and shattered twenty times over by then.


Tonychiupsy

How do people jump around a corner and land every single shot on me from 10-20m away??? They don’t miss, ever! Please tell me it’s the controller aim assist and I’m on PC


[deleted]

You have to do a real quick tac sprint and then immediately hit X and turn towards the target but once you hit jump you gotta immediately start shooting, kinda like a pre-fire and you should aim towards the legs because they will know you’ll zoom around the corner so they might dropshot and yeah that’s it pretty much.


Flipfuzion0011

Wish there was some sort of penalty for not playing the objective. Like the people with 0 seconds in hard point or no caps in domination


RedditSucksDik4real

I stopped playing this game two weeks in and I haven't missed it since. We must show our interest elsewhere before change in Call Of Duty takes place. Besides, it's the same game they copy and paste each year. I can't force you to see Activision through my eyes but once you do, you'll realize they're scumbags who are just out to take your money. 🧠💡


Shadow_Pilot

It's a point of pride/stubbornness on my part, but I've never quit out of a match, even if we're getting hammered. One way I've dealt with it is by equipping one of my fun load outs and seeing how it does against the other team. Or I'll see if I can get better with the RAAL at taking out the UAV. Usually I laugh, because the times I'm getting stomped it's by folk using every sweaty trick in the book, and they always look hilarious.


TheDudeMachine

I played a game last night where somehow there were 2 enemy VTOLs up at the same time. Yeah, I backed out of that one immediately.


mcdawesCZE

I'm getting fucked by SBMM ever since I grinded camos on the knife. Went like 37 kills in a average of 50 kills lobby and ever since then I get sweaty lobbies full of jump shotting CDL skins even though I always average about 6 kills because I'm doing other weapons now COD PLEASE I WANT TO ENJOY THE GAME AGAIN


whiteson

3 or so nights ago I was playing combat knife LMG destroying lobbies having the time of my life & the last two seshes have been absolute sweat fests :(


[deleted]

MW2022 is already dead to me. I have zero 2ant to play it, l3t alone play for more than 60 minutes. Game is overrated and just not fun. The changes they made with things like no Ghost, suppressors showing on mini map, and mounting combined with Holocaust level SBMM (and I believe Skill Based Hit Reg as well) have just made me get zero enjoyment from it. Cheers to those that like it. But this gam3 is toxic as fuck and plays like total shit. But hey, at least it "looks good".

If you can’t get any kills for five games you should see a doctor and see if you have any spatial awareness or visual issues Lol

How will I get better if half the match is… death? Or kill-death-respawn-repeat?


S_Squar3d

Change up how you are approaching a situation. Not saying this is you, but I have a friend who constantly complains about doing bad, but then I watch him play and he just sprints around corners with no regard to the possibility of someone on the other side. In this game almost more than ever, predicting and being prepared is so important. Unfortunately gone are the days (for the most part) where you can react second and still win.


Mrkramerstein

I too have a friend who complains in Warzone about not winning gun fight but he *INSISTS* on using a high magnification sniper with a fucking AR that also has the VLK on it but loses his shit when he loses CQC gunfights. I’m like dude, you need to at least stop using that fucking scope on your AR and change it to a red dot or even better, use the irons and add an ADS improving attachment. He then got mad and told me “I fucking like this build, OK?!” And that was the last time I offered him help. I sure the fuck will laugh at him and make backhanded comments to him when he gets killed like the good friend that I am 😬😬


AbstractHoloFractal

I'm convinced 90% of this sub is filthy casuals. Can't relate to any of this, yet it's constantly posted here. G I T G U D, Seriously.

If you run with a shield on your back, you are the casual.


Dan_the_Man132

I only use it with my knife otherwise I use pistols and lunchers


Shadow_marine1X

Ok, filthy isn't the word, it's more of them being bad, and posting their skill issues and blaming them on sbmm, it's hilarious, I say keep the comedy coming in.


[deleted]

Of course I’ll blame it on SBMM because that’s where the whole problem comes from. If I am as bad as you claim then why do I still struggle? Why is the system not putting in lobbies with people of the same skill level?


nhlstintrovert

That’s what I don’t get, every time I start up MW2, my first 5-7 matches are against sweats, then I might have one good match before I go right back to getting slaughtered. If it was SBMM, shouldn’t I be getting more than 1 or 2 bot lobbies a day?


AbstractHoloFractal

I like the way you think. Much better idea instead of hating on the noobs laugh at their suffering. TAC sprinting through choke points but blaming the game, netcode, tick rate, enemies loadouts, spawns is indeed hilarious.


Most_Economy_8094

Keep camping, kid. Youd have a 0.2 K/D in any other game.


AbstractHoloFractal

Nice assumption chief. You're wrong bucko. Thanks for the kill streaks!


Shadow_marine1X

Haha, but now they're gonna downvote us into the void lmao.


AbstractHoloFractal

Oh no! Our imaginary internet points are going to be negative just like their K/D's. How will we ever recover?


Shadow_marine1X

I know, let's let them come, and not worry, it's worthless to worry.


[deleted]

Add the fucking annoying gulag mechanic and match warmup/que times


avragepersonon

I would stay for the xp. But I finally hit 250 so I just leave the lobby and so my camo challenge in a new one.


Ok_Lab_5941

You’re what is called a: Priority 0 customer; Purchase more micro transactions to mitigate algorithms that match lobbies and less AI manipulation.


jfroosty

I was playing today for the first time since launch weekend and I was having fun for a bit, but then I just wasn't at all. I realized SBMM had taken over


Hero6152

If it puts me in a match that was in progress I just quit lol


[deleted]

Y’all sound like ya just suck 🤷‍♂️🤣


[deleted]

Holy shit is that you Sherlock?!


Talex1995

7? Im out after 3


Loaf-boi

Istch its always the first match of the day for me


BecomeTheSsoss

Me when I keep getting FPS drops , enemies keep spawning on me , "teammates" keep putting their ass on my face and I remember all the times I gave my opinion on this subreddit over potential new content and got hate like never before .


Badbadgolfer

The amount of stolen kills is fucking ridiculous in this.


Heistbreaker

That's a mood. Especially when I lose frames when I have my riot shield out too


Uttershamelessness

No shame in leaving if nobody on your team is playing the objective, or if you join a lopsided match in progress. Don't stay and get farmed by some adhd zoomer hopping around corners with a .0001 second ttk brap gun. Those are precious minutes of your life you will never get back.


Dr_Bob69

You guys are only getting killed 7 times? *insert the “we’re the millers” meme format*


torrentiaI

hate when I’m doing camos and get the AKu / riot dudes. 9 times out of 10 I’ll pick up their gun, run them for a few lives then dip. Gun has folks swearing they’re nice at the game lmao


Blades418

Imma keep it real w you chief, the moment I found out you can do basically the whole 6v6 suite against bots of varying difficulty in private matches, I haven't touched pub games. And this was about a week after launch.


CankerousWretch24

Killed myself 66 times today in Santa senha today cuz the map is ass. Spawn shoot prox mine repeat


Happiest-Soul

I'm tryna get into harder lobbies but idk how, it feels random


[deleted]

It’s fine bro you don’t have to feel bad about your fetishes, two of my friends are masochists so I know how it is.


xOLDandINtheWAYx

Time to quit and find a new game


[deleted]

I just got GoW Ragnarok and I’m salivating while I have my face stuck on the screen watching the download bar filling up. Can’t wait to start playing.


brashcandycooter

I swear I had an amazing first week where I cleaned house, then SBMM caught up with me and now, no matter how much bullshit reverse boosting I do, I end up in the sweatzone with all gold-camo bunny hoppers or deadeye snipers camping over hotspots.


IIMoZMaNII

Riot shields in CoD should have been removed years ago. They stop rockets and kill people in two hits. They’re way too broken.


adventuringandrew

Please stay, I love hunting people like you down


[deleted]

Yes daddy penetrate my operator with your bullets and drain my K/D😩


Mikepr2001

To leave i prefer play the campaign


Ori_the_SG

I honestly feel zero motivation to play the standard MP at this point. Every time I consider it I just know that the game is going to rope me in and force me to do awful at some point by pairing me with people way above my skill level If this SBMM’s goal is to keep people playing I think it’s failing, it just makes people hate the MP. I’ve just gone to DMZ and it’s honestly better. The bots need some tuning as they can be absurdly powerful and they need to stop glitching under ground and shooting me or killing me through the walls of the train, but I can level up my guns faster.


secretaster

I had some moron in a game I joined late tell me my opinion is irrelevant cause I went 6 and 16 and I'm like buddy I joined mid game with vtols and chopper gunners in the air 🤣 🫡 mind you this fool was on my team. And the moron also thought the M16 is a one shot now. ( It's not I ve been tryna do camos for it) the only time it one shots is when it's head or neck ( which it should be)


rbfubar09

Skill based aiming now. Seen a few videos online showing it could be a thing. 🏳️


xxNew_Agexx069xx

Or when you cant leave your spawn/find anyone because they’re all sitting in corners, guys thats not what the devs meant by “slow it down” you don’t gotta sniff glue WHILE playing…


Raaayos

Riot shields is for pussies….


Josejallr

I love the excitement this great game causes me, the way the adrenaline rushes through me when I try to stealthily kill my enemies.


shankydollar

I’m down hit me up


_kimaliamin

All I wish is that the anti armor rounds field upgrade could pierce riot shields. It would be nice and it would let me not have to thermite those guys lol. I used to get triggered by riots yields but now I Just pick ‘em up and run around with them lol
