[@josev11788]

The thing with SBMM is that it's designed to keep you engaged by giving you ups and downs. You may do bad in a few games but when it's your turn to do good, the game hands you a win. Or if you do good a couple games then it's your turn to do bad so the algorithm manipulates your game so no matter what you do you lose.

[@Xtrendence]

True, but the issue is that if you're in the upper range of skill, then your "good" matches are more likely to make people leave the game and not come back. If a 0.5 K/D player has a really good match, then they might get a VTOL or something and like 15-20 kills, and everyone will still have fun. If a 2.0 K/D player has a good match, they'll get multiple VTOLs, maybe a nuke, and finish with like 50+ kills. NOBODY, including your team, will have fun in that match, because it'll end quickly, and the enemy won't even be able to fight back. Little Timmy isn't going to want to keep playing if he experiences that and breaks his controller.

I was testing this on stream yesterday. Something is up, beyond servers. For the firing range to have in game results, it's a curious matter now.

At least real time adjustments, as shown with how Ricochet adjusts hackers abilities in real-time.

To explain the skill based footsteps, it's pretty likely that he was just one running one field upgrade (just dead silence), while you were running two.

Not surprisingly, many features in MW are bugged, why not SBMM too? They def messed it up and these clips on youtube with unlimited hitmarkers, non register bullets and other weird aim assist inconsistencies may results of bad SBMM implementation. Its hard to test it without the playerbase and they will finetune it for sure. Not allowing the devs to talk about it is very suspicious too.

Hey Truth, try going around with a riot shield and count how many times on an SBMM match that you will have to hit someone 3 times before they’re eliminated instead of the usual 2.

The sound problems that cod is having for the last few years is because of "sound occlusion." Its a thing that they have been trying (and failing) to put into games for like 4 years now. I discovered it in cod 2019. The engine of the game calculates how much sound should reach to your characters ears according to how many objects said sound has to pass through. I discovered it while playing with a friend in a private game. I realized totally by a freak accident that if he ran towards me with a telephone pole between us the sound his steps made were TOTALLY muffled. It went from him clearly running up to me to sounding like he strapped cotton to the bottom of his shoes. If he moved even 3 inches to the left or right I would hear him clearly again. Its the engine that's messed up. And the reason footsteps were clear as day in other cods was because they didn't try to use this crappy "audio occlusion" so if a person had line of sight or even if there was a wall separating you... you would still hear them with the same volume.

I was thinking the same thing. It feels like there is some type of SBMM that affects aim assist and/or damage. It feels like some players i'll get less aim assist on, and i'll get more hit markers on them consistently in a game compared to other players on the enemy team. Like the game wanted that person to have a good match, so they made them have more health and harder to lock on with aim assist. It could totally be some weird server or ping thing i'm sure. But considering Activision has patents on real time SBMM algorithms it feels like it could be intentional. The TTK is so fast that a very small percentage change to health and aim assist would sway how well a player performs.

[@bethelscrubs2549]

I had two games on firing range last night with this exact problem. 1st game, I'm melting people, and had an amazing showing. Next match, there was one guy who I literally had to shoot in the back to kill. I would get the required number of shots to kill, they wouldn't die, and I was immediately getting melted. It felt so damn fishy, I'm convinced that they are lowering health, or reducing damage to compensate for previous performances.

Hey Anthony, it's about time you covered this, I was talking to this friend of mine about the various issues I have with the game, including the algorithm that seemingly makes your gun do less damage the more you have positive matches, yesterday I asked him if I was just being the Alex Jones of call of duty, he said yes. Fast forward to today he's experiencing the same shit, mind you, I have a 1.2/3 KD, his KD and overall skill level is lower, but if it's happening in his lobbies too then there's definitely confirmation it's happening, I played siege for 7 years and my aim is always on point, I'm really good at tracking players (I play on kbm) and I kid you not, I've had problems with this game since the first day I (unfortunately) bought this piece of shit of a game. For reference, my first match I was headshotting people like crazy with the AUG SMG (or whatever the fuck it's called in this game) and it took me 2 bullets to the head to kill one guy, fast forward to the third match and I have to shoot at a guy in the head 5 bullets before he dropped like a sack of shit. Just like this game when I'll throw it in the woodchipper.

[@musashi7731]

Yeah I also play on PC with kbm, I have a clip of me getting about 15 hitmarkers on one guy with the MP7 at close-mid range, so I think we can also confirm that there's skill based damage reduction implemented in this pile of trash. Not to mention how frustrating it is constantly facing controller players with aim assist set to Black Ops and Dynamic, so they pretty much have aimbot in this game.

What pisses me off is the fact that most marksman rifles can actually stop your gun from firing and slow down your ads movement speed. I'll be ADS, firing at someone's head, getting hitmarkers, then suddenly my gun just stops firing before he even gets a shot off. All he has to do is aim down sites at you. We've tried this in private lobbies and 100% it not only stops you from firing, but it slows you down completely. So if they are to the left of you, aiming down sites at you and you try to turn quickly to your left, you are slowed down considerably without then when firing one shot. But you can seriously get 2 to 3 head shot hitmarkers and all they need is one shot anywhere on you and your are dead. It's absolutely ridiculous.

[0081] FIG. 3B illustrates a table providing an exemplary list of parameters of a gameplay session that are modified based on a player's skill level and the corresponding experience for players of different skill levels. For example, in a first-shooter gaming environment, when a first player aims his weapon at a target, a parameter defining the tolerance for how accurate the player's aim must be to hit the target is modified based on the acquired skill level of the player. The computer assigns the tolerance for how accurate the player's aim must be to hit the target differently based on the skill level of the first player. A player having a higher skill level will be assigned a lower tolerance parameter and therefore, will have to be more accurate in aiming in order to hit the target. A player having a lower skill level be assigned a higher tolerance parameter and, therefore, could be less accurate in aiming in order to hit the target. As shown, column 310 of Table 1 lists modifiable parameters such as `degree of accuracy required to hit a target`, column 312 lists the experience of a player having a `high` skill level, which may be `high degree of accuracy required`, column 314 lists the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level, which may be `medium degree of accuracy required`, and column 316 lists the experience of a player having a `low` skill level, which may be `low degree of accuracy required`. Similarly, the table lists other modifiable parameters, such as `likelihood of being targeted by enemy`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be `high degree of likelihood`, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `medium degree of likelihood`, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be `low degree of likelihood`. Another example parameter is `difficulty of an in-game puzzle`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be `high degree of difficulty`, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `medium degree of difficulty`, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be `low degree of difficulty`. Another example parameter is `bonus chance of finding powerful treasure`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be `medium degree of chance`, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `high degree of chance`, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be `very high degree of chance`. Yet another example parameter is `number of challenging enemies in a single encounter`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be a high number, for example 10-20, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be a medium number, for example 5-10, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be a low number, for example 1-5. Still another example parameter is `gold earned multiplier`, where the earning of a player having a `high` skill level may be `high`, for example 1.5.times., the earning of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `medium`, for example 1.25.times., and the earning of a player having a `low` skill level may be `low`, for example 1.times.. One more example parameter is `friendly-fire damage amount to team-mates`, where the experience of a player having a `high` skill level may be `high degree of damage`, for example 100% of damage, the experience of a player having a `medium` skill level may be `medium degree of damage`, for example 50% of damage, and the experience of a player having a `low` skill level may be `low degree of damage`, for example 0% of damage.

[@conlanjenkins2137]

About the audio bit, if the opponent is using dead silence, the border of the screen will have black streaks or marks slightly rotating as if you did have it activated yourself. In the clip you showed, he definitely did not have it. You also would have heard him activating it with your enhanced audio because he just spawned to your right. You are 100% correct, there are stupid algorithms at play here, and as an avid MW2019 player, they were there too.

It is so refreshing listening to you call this dog shit company out on all their bullshit. Every other content creator is like stepping on egg shells because they are afraid they won’t get invited to the next cod event. We need more people like you if we ever hope to hold them accountable and drive real change.

[@UberMuffinProduction]

Honestly I have two trains of thought on this topic: 1) The devs DID put the effort in and this truly is a thing. Where player hit boxes slim down based on your invisible SBMM stats. 2) The opposite, the devs were so rushed to the point that hit boxes are more broken than can be explained. I have a side gig as a game dev consultant and the more projects I get exposed to, the more I see “prioritized problem lists” where devs are aware of big issues but either focus more on other issues OR for bigger games, focus more on monetization because they can make the same money off of retaining 60% of their player base. This 60% usually are lesser skilled in the game and care more about the visuals and design packs, where the devs will make up the money they lose from losing players.

[@BratinishOfficial]

This was happening to me in some matches last night! Even when I shot right on them the bullets didn’t register, and they’d kill me. I thought I was crazy

[@alexfrimershtein347]

I would believe that all of the above are true. I feel like the algorithm is designed to buff and nerf players based on their skill level, aggression and movement patterns. I could also say that this is expected because it takes 6.months for the devs to fix the bugs, which is not acceptable regardless.

8:05 Yes, Dead silence shows up in the kill cam. I got killed by someone yesterday who had it activated and I didn't hear their footsteps and when I watched the killcam, it showed the wide FOV and the white streaks on the side. So yes, it does show.

[@novo7674]

I have gotten to the point where when I know I am in a match where the algorithm is screwing me over by disabling my aim-assist, nerfing my hit registration, or buffing enemy damage, I just leave the match until I get into one where at least it feels like my deaths were my fault, and not the games.

That's how they kill your w/l ratio

[@jtaalib]

Bro I relate so hard with this. I used to say to my buddies, it’s one of them days and just call it a night

[@noahgearhart4098]

@@thelegacyofgaming2928 Don’t care about w/l ratio I just want the game to feel playable. I don’t enjoy lobbies where I can’t kill anyone because my shots don’t hit and the ttk is crazy fast

[@jellyfish1433]

Saw a clips the other day of a guy dumping 3 rounds into a players head, but they still lost the fight to thigh shots. They have definitely put a lot of thought and effort into making the game as unfun as possible for good players

[@aojohn2]

This stuff was on caldera too. It seems like it comes in waves. I remember several gulag fights in caldera where I was literally blasting someone who was stationary and the first 4-5 shots simply did nothing and they turned to face me and aim assist locked on and destroyed me

[@johnnysix7162]

the moving back and forth like a windshield wiper thing you were talking about, i actually just had that happen to me, trying to aim at someone it felt like it was forcing me off target, everytime i'd try to bump the red dot over onto them, it would just jump completely off the other side. also had dead on close range bolt gun shots not even register. it's getting pretty hard for me to have a want to play it... which sucks because it's fun when it works.

[@greasy_efpv5441]

Started using taq v and it was insane, super quick ttk, all round blitzed. As it levelled up all of a sudden it seemed like the shittest gun in the game, could hardly get kills with it. I stripped off the minor underbarrel attachment and stock that I put on it and nope, the gun just didn't kill anything anymore. I swear first time using a gun they make it godly and then as it gets higher levels it gets more and more nerfed until you complete came challenges and then they make it "normal" again.

[@tasuu_]

Why is this the exact same experience I had with the mp7 and pdsw and the ak and the scar???

[@greasy_efpv5441]

@@tasuu_ yeah snap, it's definitely not the only gun I've experienced it with

[@invisalats841]

In Warzone 2, it's exactly like what you are describing. I don't have mw2, so day one, I had to use floor loot. Honestly, most of the floor loot felt amazing. Then I start leveling guns... nearly every single one seemed to be less effective by the time I was 3/4th through leveling them. It felt like the weapon was actively getting worse even without changing any attachments. The best example is the kastov 7.62, which the floor loot ones vastly outperform the custom ones. I can pick up the 2 attachment kastov and murder folks but making the same gun in custom it sucks. This game definitely has some sneaky stuff going on in the background. Problem is I'm not sure if it is intended or something broken because every company working for Activision is inept?

[@jason19twofour]

I noticed hits are off a bit when I was trying headshot challenges. Felt like I was shooting a musket sometimes. First shot ADS with a rifle should be straight.

[@jonnyninth]

In MW 2019, I had the problem of ghost bullets. Suddenly, I couldn't kill specific players. And now, in MW2, I noticed that I'm dealing way less damage to players compared to when the game launched...

[@nearby222]

I don't know if it's skill-based or something else but I definitely had moments where I would shoot somebody and they would kill me and in the kill cam it shows me not firing a single shot. I genuinely think it might be a sort of bloom.

[@Jackson-fm4ve]

I often play 1 to 2 seconds behind other players. The other day I ran a player over. Hit him square in the center of my hood, his body rag rolled and flew in the air. I jumped out to get his loot and guess who was standing there pre-aiming me? Yep, the rag doll. I watched the kill cam and he jumped out of the way barely in time in his screen despite being completely run over on my screen. This is the way I've always had to play warzone ... a few seconds behind.

[@SnekkyB0i]

To add on, I'm 80% certain that there is some form of system that moves the hitbox ahead of the player model because I can see gunshots and then die, but the person's model shows up a quarter second later

[@SoundsBy80K]

Latency could increase the issue

[@AnitaHandy65]

Yes this is called lag compensation and it exists in every single online game. Although it's particularly bad in MW2 2022.

[@SnekkyB0i]

@@AnitaHandy65 when I can watch the cam and it's a full two seconds from when they round the corner to when they spot and shoot me, it's intentional

Great vid. Have a clip of my first couple bullets not giving me any hit markers while ads'd at close range and the enemy wasn't moving, eliminating desync

[@2ToTheDome]

this is one of those things ive felt in older cods but could never prove

[@NotNotnotNick]

Score another point for me. (this existed in mw2019 as well) I cannot tell you how many times it seems like my bullets phase through people and results in me dying. So skill based Audio Skill based Hit detection Skill based Health It'll never stop.

[@Bullwinkle39]

I swear the hit reg thing was happening in cold war. It's a big part of why I stopped playing. My other half would be sat next to me and ask why there were no hit markers even though you could see missed bullets hitting walls
