Skill Based Matchmaking in Call Of Duty | 402THUNDER402 Thoughts on SBMM In COD Multiplayer

[@davidvelox224]

When skill based match making started becoming a thing. Oh the start of the downfall.

[@OGJayroc.tsukuyomi]

But they removed it in this game and it became incredible so idk why they didn't learn from this game.

[@hotpotato9009]

Who else is watching this because of Call of Safe space Modern Claymore

[@KingOfTheApex]

Lmao this guy!

[@dmonleon24]

Now I’m watching this because of call of duty black ops cold sweat

[@TheHomieYoshi99]

7 years later and we're still asking the same thing 😂

[@randomdudewholikesmusic1640]

Damn, and we thought SBMM was bad back then.

[@napowolf]

Ohhh, if only Thunder knew what is installed for him down the track LMAO.

Watching this in 2015 with Advanced Warfare suffering the same problem of SBMM. Only this time Sledgehammer and Michael are really determined to not remove it for some reason.

[@firstnamelastname9480]

Even when CoD Champs is already over.

[@keviin8992]

Shrek Salad What's funny is on ps3, black ops 2 still has sbmm. They never removed it.

keviin89 What are you talking about?

Now this is my classic thunder I remember.... the OG still going strong today 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣

[@iconicg7159]

Around this time I was 17 years old and heavy in cod on my second prestige. And looking back I was a lightweight sweat as a kid, and now I guess cod is paying me back as a adult who try’s to play casual

[@yesfinally5966]

i like how people say how the older cods were good because they used to be casual and random lobbies, but clearly watching this video only proves how sbmm has been in cod for a long time

SBMM always been in COD, just not as bad as it is now. You don’t see people joining match in progress 24/7 on a new COD, waiting forever to join a lobby even tho it’s the latest COD out and why disband lobby’s?? The current SBMM is what’s killing COD

[@KarnageKamikaze]

Thank you I'm not the only one experiencing this. I'm for a challenge sometimes, but it honestly gets annoying when it's almost every match. Also, when your put on a team that cant do anything at all, it annoys me along with the matchmaking. With all of these things, I sometimes rage from a lobby, and explains why there are so many host migrations.

[@kenc4s134]

Watching in late 2019 wishing this was remastered.

[@Coolcavespider]

If only we knew what would become of Call of Duty...

[@dstryerone_5227]

liked for the c4 sandwich. Thunder you're the man!

[@toklongball]

i've been runnin the FAL with select fire (full auto) grip & fast mag. shit is rediculous. only assault rifle i use now. great vid man like always never disappointed.

😂😂😂 KZbin recommendations are pure gold sometimes

😁👍

[@stylo6511]

7 Years later and sbmm is still in this franchise

[@Thrashifice]

I'd take this SBMM now....

[@durnifurli]

Hit the nail on the head thunder. Great commentary as per usual. They nerfed pub stomping :(

[@The1commenterguy]

[@xStrangla]

Fairly new to your channel....Glad I found it. Keep up the Great Comms....Love Black Hat, but Black Hat + Engineer class is fun as hell too.

[@futuree2463]

Ghosts ruined call of duty, i look back at this game, and i love it

[@402THUNDER402]

infinite warfare ruined it worse than ghosts did lol

[@DewFPS]

You think condrey is going to put sbmm in ww2 like AW?

[@chelseaking1735]

Dew FPS Lol he did 😂

[@davidvelox224]

Every cod since ghosts has been terrible or a money grab.

[@1stKills]

402THUNDER402 mw destroyed it

[@TheHamburgIar]

I play solo too and I agree it is frustrating. When your stats get better in this game, so does your competition and it makes it harder to earn killstreaks or just have fun in general.

[@Only1Gam3r]

Thunder all I play is solo. LOL

[@gavinrobinson2270]

5 years before u posted his first vid, unless u privated or deleted any videos before

[@SavageEditorsVisuals]

I feel your pain Thunder, it's so hard to play solo since everyone's always in a party and all the noobs disappeared

[@Armin00]

9 years ago already 💀💀💀

[@UltimateUnknown]

I must say I'm mostly a KC and DOM player and for the first time in any COD it is a beautiful sight to see my teammates scurrying to get the tags or constantly rushing in on the enemy flags. Most lobbies I get into happens to be full of people who are around my prestige level and with relatively high SPM similar to mine (>350). Yes I probably don't get extremely high streaks or don't have ridiculously high k/d, but seriously as it is right now I could care less. Games are fast paced and fun.

[@402THUNDER402]

Like i said i man knew there was some shady shit going on, im getting in try hard 4th prestige full party lobbies all day erry day.....

[@Bacardi01]

Only game I was able to get all my weapons diamond, Thunder I love watching you play my friend.The way you troll them is so funny.Keep them coming.

[@zZastik]

Same here. The game was so fun and all the guns were viable

[@g3tshotheett]

Remember when we thought this was bad. Cough cough: advance warfare and modern window warfare

[@borjankoprivnjak6855]

Yep...

[@g3tshotheett]

@@borjankoprivnjak6855 it’s worse

[@ScottsCaseFiles]

Another cool thing about black hats and care packages is that you can get them from a distance. Throw your care package grenade out of bounds or so that it'll be up on a building and then use the BH to retrieve it. You'll have less teammates able to steal your care packages that way.

[@014oscar]

This video aged well 🤯!

[@stevio2175]

Thunder… you need to re-watch and listen to this 😂 Amazing what happens in 12 years

[@kraken7784]

Sbmm has always been a thing

[@nagatosama3388]

thunder, I love you! you are the best commentator in the whole youtube. ps: if you are wondering where noob `s are ask jnasty;)

[@BigJ1m]

Thunder if there wasnt skill based matchmaking all the noobs wouldn't enjoy the game. You wouldn't understand but if you just brought the game and it was your first time playing a COD game, and some pro team owned you, I don't think they would bother playing again

[@EdwardDG2]

Everyone started out as Noobs. We stuck through it

[@sircartier4422]

The whole point is to get better and then own the lobby

[@BrokeMyCrayon]

Great video again Thunder. One thing, The Quickscoping in this game is pretty damn challenging. Remember how it seems like you die from one bullet out of someones SMG/AR, unless the sniper knows your coming, its VERY hard for him to win a gunfight. The scope in times in this game are about the speed of Cod4. Sniping was challenging in cod4 without an acog and cod4 didnt have this degree of lag compensation.

[@TeezoTarantino]

I miss the good ol days of Blops Deuce this video aged pretty well

[@blkpanther2k5]

I think skill-based matchmaking is a good idea cause it really does force the player to get better and better. I know its hard to get awesome gameplay vids but lets face it...we watch your vids cause you are an extremely fun youtuber to listen to while watching decent gameplay. You could go 0-23 and I'd still watch you. So don't stress on the lobby issue in my opinion. Keep up the good work!

This is the only reason I like to make guys on KZbin actually have to be good

[@GHOSTOFEIGHT]

This video could be made in 2024 and Black Ops 6. The calendar has changed but the times haven't.

[@cowsgomo14]

lol im glad u said something thunder because i really thought i was just getting really unlucky because all i play is solo.

[@jesusvalles54]

I occasionally run into these lobbies, I have a 5.3, but really stats don't mean anything, as long as your having fun, my high kd is just a result of me liking killstreaks, especially the high ones.

[@happymonkeyfish]

i agree with what he said at the beginning, in every game i play, i get people with shit literal crap ranks and prestige. never do i seem to have good people

[@Jdabomb93]

Good commentary thunder :)

[@SiLLoH42]

Is that redhooknoodles the producer?? Ive been listening to his beats on here for a couple of years now. Hes sick. Ive subscribed you both by the way

[@HowBoutThemCowboys5]

i seem to get into lobbies with full parties all the time! In black ops i remember it would do that once in a while but for the most part maybe just a 3 man party. In this black ops it's like every game im in has a full party. It's hard to compete when people on your team dont communicate and run around like chickens w/ their heads cut off, feeding the other team kills.

[@seven9]

Thunder is one of the few youtubers who has the right attitude.

[@Wiseguy150]

whoa the black hat can hack UAVs (and I assume other equipment from a distance?) will def need to try it now.

[@AdventuresWithNicB]

Thunder wait for Christmas. The you'll either be wrecking level 1s or you'll have a whole team of them. The kids will also be screaming at you, so that'll be fun to watch.

[@skillz78]

Nice commentary at the end

[@bob5184]

i always like your videos even before the video even start:P

[@jshenefelt]

You seem well spoken and a sensible-non troll like person. Worthy of more video watching :) But I gatta defend my fellow snipers, dude playing with a sniper is fucking hard. (no camping allowed). I switched to all snipers because it's difficult to do and I want a challenge. Your PDW has 50 bullets, a silencer, fast ADS and hip spray ability, and your class lets you run and gun like a beast. My sniper has 5 bullet, very slow ROF and I have to stop to shoot. I get 1 chance to end SMG users.

[@ItsOmgItsJeff]

Great commentary thunder

[@UchihaxItachixx]

You should post your fantasy football team in one of your vids via screencap! I'm curious to see who's all on your team.

[@almostaddictive]

with the pick ten system , i wana mess around with my classes and have FUN , just like you really should be doing in video games. i cant have FUN when i constantly have to play players who dont give me a break. its just more tedious than fun to play at this point

[@HTcobras19]

I don't mind competitive lobbies but then fix the lag so when I shoot someone, they die. It's bad enough I'm at a disadvantage since my bullets don't work, but then you add in good players and they basically make it impossible to do well.

[@dt2169]

This is ahead of its time

[@GetEmForFree]

I usually run with prestige masters if i ain't running solo and man it's tough to get score streaks and kills with them but a win is a win i roll solo like you and low kill streaks with hardline and it's beastly.

[@BLOPShotOfTheDay]

and sniping like u said is super OP in bo2. i don't understand how they went from how sniping was in black ops to how it is in black ops 2...sniping in black ops was perfect. even grizz said it was his favorite game to snipe in

[@NaturesPrime]

Yeah, these public matches are brutal. My K/D is a lot lower than it usually is. Though, it's been increasing since I've changed tactics. I'm up for the challenge. You're up for the challenge. It's all good. Just wait 'til Christmas... ;)

[@mrdalvey]

matchmaking should be based PURELY on how well everyone's connection will be. so frustrating to get into lobbies when you're not exactly lagging but just know you're behind

[@CoffeeSA96]

Yes

[@scramblerr3]

its the same with me. everyone is a 69th prestige and i am just sitting in the corner saying, "how many more days till Christmas?"

[@MrDyssonance]

Hey Thunder...you can use the Black Hat to capture care packages (including teammates!!! and enemies' + boobytrap) from a distance.

[@boblawblaw6185]

LOL didn't the Devs say SBMM been in the game before MW2019? This video sound like the same complaints in 2022.

[@samcerulean1412]

You can ask your provider to straight route your connection rather than it taking the longer route which will make a really big difference. Also Bandwidth isn't anything its your ping that counts an you should try an find the Closest Switch board to you

[@NeroAngeloGR]

Little did we know back then, that the downfall of cod due to sbmm was only beginning..

[@vanle3]

personal experience in the game so far: s-mines with shock charges and heavy camping with silencers. that's about it. and the random experiences caused by weird connection issues. thank god there is zombies.

[@HDBoy11]

Look at it this way thunder. No more "curse of the green triangles"

[@DJFlashyE]

I just got this game today and i'm not having any problems so far but it looks like it's gonna be tough to prestige already

[@teccaninakilla]

Yup I remember when I first used the FAL OSW b4 blops2 came out I knew! Any semi-automatic was my kind of gun! And now I got the FAL GOLD and preistge 2 working on the SMR

[@Chitowngst]

Thunder, you could post a 20/19 game, and I will still watch and like it. You're awesome either way.

[@blightcaller666]

i love sneeking up to some one that drops a care package and using the black hat to steal it and watch them get a fake care package only to get killed lol

[@cals0ul]

sick. i just got my FAL up to 9 tonite. its a beast with select fire. hurry up people before they nerf it!

[@xt3rm1nat3z]

hey Thunder, Sandy Ravage put up a class setup the other day with the FAL or the other single shot and I've been using it also its beast. As for the Parties I keep going up against full parties or everyone leaves the game and I end up playing 3v6. I think that they should change the party side of things. If your in a party of 3 or less you can play whatever you want. If your in a party of 4 or more you have to play in a seperate playlist with other parties. Sort the crap from the cream real fast

[@MangoBarrier]

They should add a Mercenary playlist which has only: TDM, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, and Domination game modes, those I think are the most popular in this game and would seriously be a benefit to solo players like myself to not have to go against stacked lobbies 24/7

[@AzurianRain]

I think the biggest problem when asking for any kind of buff/nerf in game is that Call of Duty is a financial juggernaut. They can just not care what anyone think, leave things as they are and still get away with it next game cause the game sells by itself.

[@co2fosho]

i agree the shit does get old constantly getting put against partys when im trying to play on my own im one of those who only get try hard lobbys over and over. i would like to see league and pub seperate

[@VETERANO719]

You can do what I do on some occasions which may be hard for you but it works a majority of the time get a guy that absolutely blows at the game to make the lobby or you can troll around a noob and join whatever match he joins haha

[@A451M1]

thanks. and i hope i get a triple head feed soon. and yes sniping is amazing

[@NightHawk7117]

Thunder man, don't ever feel like you need to answer to anyone about the gameplay you post. Your real fans will stay; the complainers can take a hike.

[@TheDarkYoshi64]

Still relevant in 2022 with how the recent CoD games have been. Little did we know, this game’s SBMM was nothing compared to what we have now.

[@RequiemJr]

I play solo and I run into a lot of parties on the opposing team. My k/d is 1.90 and I see people with 2.00 and up. I get the team with k/ds of 1 and less. I get my ass handed to me but I keep playing regardless. I give props to the people I get paired up with because they play their asses off and don't quit even though we get our asses handed to us.

[@2Newfie2OO9]

I fell you thunder. These pub lobbies are insane

[@GFCmndr13]

I don't know if I just suck, or if it's my connection, or what... but I can hardly go positive in Black Ops 2. It's really disappointing :/ Nice video, Thunder.
