Seriously, don't pre-order Black Ops 6

Thinking about pre-ordering Black Ops 6? Hold up. We've seen this rodeo before. Pre-orders might promise exclusive skins or early access, but they're not worth the gamble. Remember the launch issues and SBMM headaches from previous titles? Yeah, that's still a thing. Skill-Based Matchmaking has been a thorn in players' sides, turning casual matches into sweat-fests. Why pay full price to be a beta tester? Wait for real player reviews, see how SBMM shakes out, and maybe snag a better deal while you're at it. Smart players keep their wallets closed until they know what they're really getting.

Back in the day you would pre-order a game to insure that you would get a copy at launch. Now games are basically all digital so what’s the point anymore?

I mainly want it for the round-based zombies which Treyarch does really well. The MP and Campaign is just extra.

[@unfiltered577]

All that graph means is that more bad players leave when sbmm isnt in place rhan any other class of player. Its not that there are more bad players. If anything, theres more average players. Sbmm still doesn't make sense, because avg players still get punished.

Dont ever preorder games period. It only hurts the consumer. Pay for the product after it releases or else you're the cause of broken game releases

[@capsulev1]

@@jordanpresley5336 exactly

[@QuickNETTech]

I agree with the first two sentences but I strongly disagree with the latter portion of the third. The cause of broken games is the system that produces them, not the individuals buying them. It's really easy to go "well if no one bought them then they'd stop selling them" but that's not only an econ 101 supply/demand argument that doesn't quite hold up when translated to meat-space, it's also simply an idealistic viewpoint and an unrealistic expectation to lay the need to fix this on millions of unorganized individuals. Regulations need put in place or consumers need to organize themselves into consumer unions or the like to do collective boycotts that actually work. Systemic problems require systemic solutions, corporations are abusing consumers, quit blaming the abused instead of blaming the abuser.

[@jordanpresley5336]

@@QuickNETTech I think all the money they're making from preorders is preventing that systematic change. Businesses will adapt when forced to

[@QuickNETTech]

[@snapperface12345]

Here lies the rub, the "free game" folks will talk trash on your reasons but, those of us who pay have a big say in this, it's our money, it's what matters. Next, for the most part, those folks who stop play after a few days in, it's frustrating to (we all talk how realistic we want these games to be) shoot a guy with a gun that uses a 7.62 round and you see 4 ticks (hit markers) yet they end up dropping you. Sweats with just their heads sticks over objects getting hit in the face take loads also. No one wants insta kill, they just need real balance in the weapons and ammo usage. The most used guns in the games are submachine guns with unreal ammo capacities and damage beyond a higher caliber round i.e 9mm vs 7.62 it's just extremely unbalanced and it'll never change, ever!

[@capsulev1]

man I really hope they deliver 🙏🏻 my first call of duty was Black Ops 1, and that was a blast.

my dude, im not gonna be an ass but im gonna be blunt 1) bo6 is a treyark project, all treyark COD titles have been well recieved, even cold war, its infinity ward and sledgehammer that people should be weary of 2) they have to disclose that things are available day 1 because of past mistakes from other devs leaving an impact, people just assume theres going to be stuff missing, so treyark have to manually take down those assumptiong themselves 3) all the ingame footage and detailed features and mechanics coming to BO6 are revolutionary, players should expect the occasional bug but treyark have a reputation for being mostly bug free 4) new weapons, movement, equipmemt, streaks, etc not reused, reskinned and nerfed/buffed weapons from previous games 5) sbmm isnt as bad as people claim, people are so clueless that sbmm puts players in the same match who has the same performance in previous games if you play well, ur against more skilled players and can test/improve your skill level, it also prevents players with super high skill from randomly being put up against some fresh noobs and dropping nukes all the time and ruining the game for others honestly having a problem with sbmm is a literal skill issue

truth except point number 5. A curated experience is not an authentic experience by definition and it is designed to keep you at around 1 kd and will throw you a bone to keep you addicted. SBMM is only good for the less skilled players not higher ones like you claim.

[@dragonborn4405]

@@LCARS-DATANODE it benefits everyone, the less skilled can improve more repidly while the higher levels can have a challenge still and keep their skills sharp i agree tho its not that everyone benefits with improvement, but once you hit a psudo skill ceiling, it becomes more msintenance thsn improvement

You do realize that saying "having a problem with SBMM is a skill issue" is the most ironic and paradoxally illogical thing you could possibly say, right? Having a problem with games NOT having SBMM is the skill issue. Your statement on SBMM in point 5) is incorrect as well.
