[@z9m1x8]

BT, I found something that went over a lot of people heads at the time. In an interview with Mark Rubin the former lead developer at Infinity Ward. He states the game doesn't use SBMM but something more engagement based matchmaking EOMM. He then goes onto saying there is an Ai that monitors your behavior in game and makes the game easier for players who are getting beaten too much so they dont quit. How could the Ai do that? Well by modifying the games parameters in real time e.g. adjusting bullet damage. That is the reason for the hit detection or bullet damage discrepancies. There is an Ai changing it as you play. I uploaded a YT short today of the clip from Mark. Have a look and re-upload if you like.

This is what CHATGPT told me with what Activision said This text appears to explain the rationale behind skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in Call of Duty. The developers are using player performance metrics to minimize the gap between the highest- and lowest-skilled players in each lobby. The goal is to ensure that players of all skill levels feel that each match is balanced and enjoyable, rather than a waste of time. By incorporating skill into the matchmaking process, they aim to create a wider range of match outcomes, where players are likely to experience both wins and losses. This approach attempts to make gameplay feel more dynamic and engaging, as opposed to heavily favoring one group over another. However, it also implies that matches may be intentionally balanced to avoid having one-sided experiences, which might be frustrating for highly skilled players who are looking for a more competitive environment or a greater challenge.

Let me tell you a story from MWII a few years ago. I was playing shipment lobbies and I generally do very well in the 'sweaty' lobbies. But one day I decided to actually tryhard to see what sbmm would do. I put on the 74u and started going to town... 120-20, 80-10, 200-30 scores like that every game. The lobbies I started getting into were unreal... they seemed like high end ranked play where everyone was like me, an absolute fragger, only using meta guns, but also TRYHARDING obj... IN A PUB SHIPMENT LOBBY... It was literally like a switch flipped and the game was protecting everyone from the people like me. I was seeing the same few people over and over and over as if very few people could enter these lobbies. Every person in the lobby was a good player. So good that apparently we subconsciously noticed it was obj time and were going for wins on top of just getting kills. I'd generally do pretty good in these lobbies; go positive, drop streaks, get high obj scores, but the game never advanced me to a higher sbmm lobby. IDK if it was the top of the sbmm ladder but it had to be up there. The funny thing is these were prob the most fair matches I ever played. No weird hit reg issues that plagued the lower brackets. The pings of players were all over the place but didn't seem to have that weird thing where you shoot a guy 10 times and he turns around and 3taps you. No bad teammates that caused you to lose games. No abundance of leavers. Just pure sweat. Then I played the MWIII beta and saw more matches that were so tight in score in the few hours I played than I've ever seen in my time since playing CoD 4... Think I saw b2b2b2b dom games within 10 points of each other... That was the last day I played cod multiplayer lol. Its a shame

[@RealStitchie]

I think I know what it is, regarding the inconsistencies: The network lags often, which means that you are constantly in motion until you stop for at least a second. This in turn makes the game not register your shots as much. Why? Because the game will throw up a hit marker because it's your client side damage that you are seeing, and not the server side damage. There is also inaccuracy from the gun that could also affect this. I think it might be a bug with crosshair position and bullets not hitting where they should, but getting the hitmarker anyways. Lag makes that problem even larger because the game has no idea where people are at the exact moment a gun fight happens. The process of being hit (Flinch, directional indicators, etc.) ends up happening a lot more quickly due to how the packets get sent and received, leading to imaginary hits as the game tries to keep up and register if they actually hit or not according to the server. Might just be a crackpot theory, but it would explain a lot.

The experiencing of wins and loss could be the server grouping people to make an average win loss ratio of 50/50 like overwatch does to ensure the game is balancing teams accordingly. And getting killed by the same person immediately after spawning i believe is something called “revenge spawn” which is to help you get revenge on the person killing you.

NBA 2k25 has it where they made it so as you "green" (perfectly time/release a shot) more, your animation actually changes (it has a window you have to release your shot to perfectly time it) to make it harder to consistently green to represent a more "real life shooting percentage". So for COD to put it something like skill based damage. It would not shock me. I experience the inconsistency so often and it is infuriating.

Activision has indeed filed patents related to skill-based matchmaking and gameplay adjustments, including those that affect damage output and other game parameters based on a player's skill level. Here are the key points from the sources: Patent Details The patent, titled "Methods and Systems for Improved Player Matching in Multiplayer Games," describes a system where gameplay parameters are modified in real-time based on a player's skill level Adjustments to Damage and Accuracy The patent outlines that the system can adjust various parameters, including: Accuracy: The tolerance for how accurate a player's aim must be to hit a target is modified based on the player's skill level. Skilled players are assigned a lower tolerance parameter, requiring them to be more accurate, while less skilled players are given a higher tolerance, allowing them to hit targets with less precision Damage: The system can modify the damage dealt by a player based on their skill level. For example, a player with a higher skill level might deal less damage compared to others in the match, while a player with a lower skill level might deal more damage to balance the gameplay experience Other Game Parameters Other modifiable parameters include: Health: Player health can be scaled based on the aggregate skill level of the team. Friendly-Fire Damage: The amount of damage dealt to teammates can vary based on skill level. Enemy Attacks: The accuracy of enemy attacks can be adjusted based on the player's skill level. Gold Earned Multiplier: The amount of rewards or gold earned can be modified based on the player's skill level

Hey BT, I saw at the 6:00 mark what that guy said about the GPR 91, and I couldn't believe it was true, because call of duty usually has a consistent number of bullets to kill on a gun, with a given range. But when I went to go test it myself, I was mind blown. I tested it in the firing range and it would genuinely, at random it seemed, give me more bullets to kill sometimes? I've never seen this happen in other cods, and I test this type of stuff a good amount, so I was shocked. This is really weird. I have a clip of this happening if you would like, don't know where I could send it to you though

I just started running around the edge of the map, letting the enemy team kill me. The very next match, it felt like they put me up against bots.

5:00 A tick rate of 20 means that 20x per second your game communicates updates with the server. This means your position, status, damage, ect. You can shoot multiple bullets during a tick and when the server updates again the damage dealt is stacked. The reason why players and objects dont stutter in 20fps is because their positions are interpolated

[@Herkermer]

Been saying for years they need to have servers with tick rate like CS. The way the server receives input is based off the tick rate. So if you move in a direction that is an input and the server will update to see what your input is at that current time. But for example. If you have a low tick rate you can essentially have inputs (3 shots for example) where 1 tick you have 2 shots register but you have to wait a whole tick for the other shot to register. Meaning someone theoretically could get 3 shots on one tick and you could get 1-2 and therefore (if the stats add up) you could lose a gunfight. However. What it sounds like and is possible is SBMM could limit your inputs sent per tick giving you a “worse?” Connection and making it more difficult to win gunfights. Not that unrealistic tbh and also not that out of character for activision. Their solution to people complaining about SBMM is by removing assists and making them all kills to cushion the fact your matches are trash and to also manipulate you into thinking you get more kills than you used to in other CODs. How about just remove it???? I just don’t get all this.

I’ve realized, after sweating so hard on MW3, that there’s literally no point in trying to win.

So, I’ve just been playing super casually, using any weapon I feel like even if it’s not good, going negative KD etc. There’s no point in improving. This is especially true if you’re a solo player like I am. It’s impossible to have fun.

[@tuck9799]

Redundant packets are a feature of networking as a fallback in case there is packet loss. When packet loss occurs, the redundant daaaaaataaaa is called upon to fill the holes. That's why you don't immediately disconnect when there's a lag. I think we can all agree that a connection at home with a handful of devices has far less load than a COD server. So, it's entirely possible they have designed their servers to send out the initial packet and one backup to free up processing power for the load they experience. In short, you send out 3-4 packets and they send back 2-3 depending on how heavy their traffic is. As for the rest of your video, think of it like this. Online multiplayer is now being crafted like skill-level based campaign. Easy at first while you're getting through the tutorial phase as a low level player; but as you progress, the game and enemies get harder to a point of chaos and the feeling of just trying to not get shafted. That is NOT what an online shooter is or should be.

The quote you put on the screen isn’t saying the worse players get more wins, they are saying that all players will effectively end up with roughly a 50% win to lose ratio.

[@fnl4eva269]

Let me explain this again Activision has patents from 10 or so years ago to change things like to for certain people. They do this so it makes people feel they spent real money and was worth it on a new camp. What it was pretty much is when say tracer pack came out they would boost people's ttk better then others when they bought it and declined slowly after. This makes most not notice it was rigged to buy. Now here is where the money making part comes in. When people buy a new camo and such that looks cool on a old gun you die a lot by it so people go oh I need that mtx pack. If you buy it you will get a boost in killing easier. It is to trick people they spent there money well and they recycle this on each new big deal thing. Now over the years they did other patents to use the same thing to make matches so people do not get slaughtered so they on the fly tweak stuff. They got real good with this cause you do not want people to quit engagement means more chances they buy more mtx. Then the packet loss it's all about trying to make it playable for people with bad connections or other countries. They stopped long ago matching best ping matches so it's a modge podge of people around the world. They need to on the fly compensate the laggy to others people so they have a chance. Ping is not king trash connections are. This is why vpns makes it easier it slows it down enough you get an advantage. Why lag switching was a big thing for so long back in the day. You all are being played by all the things combined. Do research the Activision patents how they tweak gameplay to sell mtx to deceive and other parents like that is out for the public google it.
