Breaking Free from Skill Based Matchmaking in Modern Warfare 3!

[@402THUNDER402]

For all wondering how I got this amazing lobby the previous 3 games i just ran around with a RPG until i noticed they matched me up with lower levels (new lobby not the same giga sweats they usually match me with) that's how i knew I was in the honey hole lmao. This game is GREAT when you're playing in normal lobbies!

Absolutely, gameplay wise it's by far the best cod ever. Imagine how we could absolutely poop on noobs all day long. It's a bit weaker aim assist and combined with 150 health they just couldn't kill you 😂

[@viralityac]

​@@Zark_Moneybags69I honestly can't understand why people think "skill based hit detection" is a thing lol. It's a skill issue and/or a connection issue.

[@katser5023]

No hate on thunder but he probably just doesn't want to try and do commentary anymore on a dying franchise. Plus it doesn't help that yt suppresses his channel so why bother doing commentary and editing.

[@ErenTheWarcriminal]

He just needs to find a new game that he loves, or just upload older cod games. He can’t get through his skull people will watch anything with his awesome commentary.

Like you said this game is perfect. You just have to somehow avoid the aderall sniffing infested lobbies and this is the best COD in years.

[@a-animal1206]

By saying they are Adderall infested lobbies your making them think they are good...that is not the case dude ...it's sbmm and EOMM holding there hands as usual... You get nerfed they get buffed because they bought a skin or reverse boosted ... There's no good players in this game ...your either a cheater or the same as everyone else they want everyone at or around a 1.0kd ....simple as that ...game is absolutely rigged to the gills

[@soulrebel6309]

Wow Thunder you're actually running around!😂😂 this gonna be a good year!!!

[@JakeDeMarco]

Thunder! Looking back, it is hard to fathom just how much time has passed as I have been subscribed and watching your entertaining videos for almost 12+ years at this point (Feels like it has been that long also since we last had a truly stellar CoD release lol!) The movement and gun play overall feels very solid and is a welcome change compared to previous iterations. I, too, always use claymores and noticed how awful they are this time around; perhaps it is the longer delayed time before exploding so enemies have more of a chance to react/counter the equipment. The streaks aren't anything special, and I had to unlock both the care package and cluster mine just to have something enjoyable and fun to use. My main complaint this year comes down to the Armory unlock system as challenges tend to not track properly, and progression tends to be painfully slow with major killstreaks/attachments/perks/etc. being held back. Again, it wouldn't be terrible if implemented better, but in its current state the Armory unlock system needs a good deal of reworking. Some challenges require using weapons you do not have access to, and though default classes are available, being handcuffed to a specific class you do not want to play as turns any fun into straight grinding frustration. Certain unlocks only take 3 challenges, as where others inconsistently ask you for triple that amount to unlock the next item. With a few patches and adjustments, MW3 could potentially hold on to its player base and be regarded as one of the better titles to be released in the modern era....

[@heyAmashy]

The game is definitely fun when you aren’t trying out for a pro team

[@TexasJackdaw]

Yeah, not gonna lie. I haven’t bought anything from COD since Black Ops 4. My fav is Black Ops 3. But still watch every video you release. I may just dive back into this game - maybe since I miss these maps. I miss your camp setup: Clay biscuits and a shotty - but I’m still on the fence. Thanks for your consistent content. 🙏

I miss COD but I moved on to “No Builds” in Fortnite and have been loving it for a while now. The battle Royale genre is very niche I admit but man I don’t know Fortnite with friends and the laughs and just banter is where it’s at for me. COD died along time ago for me! I love your videos though bro! :) come on in!

[@keynosmith2208]

😂😂😂 good one

[@liambrown4214]

The crazy thing is Thunder I can actually see the SBMM in this game throughout your videos and it is dark thick. Also you’re an inspiration to me. I don’t play COD anymore as I don’t get paid for it like you do. But I play a lot of battlefield, and always use your mannerisms in games. COD is bad, but use that bad for a good cause like you’re currently doing. Much respect

[@Cosmic_Connectors]

Thunder you should unlock dead silence perk and ghost asap once you hit level 25 trough armory unlocks, the game becomes way more fun imo once you can freely run around 👌🏼

[@ErenTheWarcriminal]

Worm days are over 😂

[@Cato-wm6zh]

Thunder you have open mic enabled haha

[@philliptruong9130]

Not going to lie, when not in a sweaty match. The game is really fun and you can play every style you want. I think with more small maps and no SBMM on public matches. This game would have the best MP mode ever.

[@naughtycultmemes784]

Legit

[@JH-vb1wo]

Almost every map is too big for 6v6 which is stupid. The snow map could be really fun with 10 v10 or 12v12 I hope they give it to us. 6v6 I spend to much time looking for people

[@viralityac]

​@@JH-vb1woNah maps are fine for 6v6. You can move across map faster than back in the MW2 days and game seem to flow at a solid pace - not as fast paced as Vanguard but faster than MW19 and MW22. A 9v9 old school ground war playlist would be absolutely amazing tho.

[@Sleaz04]

Anybody who sounds like this actually loves cod off camera

[@stew713]

Two of the biggest things keeping me from enjoying this game is the armory system to unlock some stuff and sbmm. Although I did turn crossplay off on my Xbox and it seems to made it somewhat bearable but made searching for matches slightly harder in the process. We’ll see how long it works because with mw2 it only worked for a couple days.

My work pals trying to convince me to get it day before it came out. Saw them the following monday and they justified why I didnt get it. They all just chilling on zombies. We all crying 5 years ago for Boots on the Ground but what we needed was SBMM to be gone. When and if they release a cod without SBMM is going to be a glorious time. They want every game to be tense and captivating but its killed the fun.

[@Kyrnyx]

Something I like doing is just leaving blatantly lopsided games where there's no way our team can make a comeback or laggy games where I'm rubberbanding everywhere and my ping is above 100ms. Gives me matches where it almost feels like classic CoD with a balance of skill levels.

[@Wayofvirtue]

This was way more fun to watch than mw2

[@YoshiLupus]

The gameplay feels great, but the SBMM, dog spawns, and shitty connections are killing it for me. Too many times I don't see anyone peeking an angle just to die with me in full view in the killcam, or I die to a shot after clearly getting to cover alive. Some of the maps are dope, and others are ass. Would prob enjoy the shite ones more if I wasn't in CDL matches all the time.

[@johnanthony3685]

Best COD since Cold War. This one is a keeper. Especially when they fix all the bugs and balance all the weapons. Usually takes about a month to fix everything. Also the sentry gun is not available for some reason even though it says I unlocked it. 🤔

[@Mikeywelcs]

Sentry got removed as there was a God mode and invisible glitch with it hahaha. Pretty much just drop your sentry then enter the manual mode where you control it and kill yourself with it and you have godmode.

It's funny how everyone asked for MW2 remastered and failed to realise that outside of the UMP, ARs completely dominated. And what SBMM does is amplify issues. MW3 2011 had the most balanced map design for all weapons. These maps look great but are not balanced for all weapon classes

[@viralityac]

That first clip was an lmg lol. Honestly I feel like the SMGs are very balanced and if you're getting out gunned at range by an SMG that is 100% a skill issue as most of the ARs and the Bas B can out gun an SMG at all ranges.

[@edgardkerr3888]

@@viralityacI know that’s and LMG in the clip. My point is that SBMM causes me to be matched with people that are giving their souls to win a match. Perfect aim, never miss a shot, jumping and sliding everywhere. So annoying for a casual player that has 1 hour daily to play.
