[@YouJustGotHitWithReality]

Here’s why it’s entirely plausible that Activision is using systems like engagement-optimized matchmaking (EOMM) to manipulate player experience in Call of Duty, even if they claim otherwise. First, Activision has filed patents specifically for systems that manipulate matchmaking, hit registration, aim assist, and more to maximize player engagement. Companies don’t invest in patents they don’t plan to use, especially when those systems are designed to increase playtime and spending. Even if Activision says they’re not using these systems, the patents show clear intent. Second, many of the in-game inconsistencies players experience, like unpredictable hit registration, aim resist, and fluctuating match difficulty, align perfectly with what these systems are designed to do-manipulate live game data to influence player behavior. These manipulations are subtle, meaning they’re not supposed to be obvious but still affect outcomes in ways that maximize engagement. Third, the gaming industry already uses engagement-based design strategies everywhere to keep players hooked. Activision, as one of the biggest players in this industry, is highly incentivized to use these systems, especially in a game with microtransactions like Call of Duty. By manipulating outcomes, they keep players coming back and spending money. Finally, while some may argue there’s no “hard evidence,” the overwhelming number of player complaints about aim assist inconsistencies, spawn problems, and matchmaking issues suggests something is happening. These systems are designed to be nearly invisible, but the effects are clearly felt by players. In short, Activision has both the means and the motive to use these systems, and the player experience strongly supports the idea that some form of manipulation is in place, even if they deny it.

[@abdul4515]

Yeah, all of this is true. Except for one thing: companies DO get patents that they don't intend to use. They get patents to use them against smaller companies to shut them down. They use them as ammo against their competition when they sue them for patent infringement. They intentionally file BS patents that are very broad and very vague. This way, competing companies violate their patents without even knowing. The more "moral" companies still have a lot of patents that they don't use simply because they act as a deterrent. Big companies pretty much treat patents the same way that nations treat nukes. If you have them, you're fine. If you don't, you're screwed.

[@GooberPlatoon]

The problem with this theory is Occam's Razor has more evidence. The servers having a low tick rate, combined with the amount of disparity between individual connection, allows a massive margin of incosistency with hit reg and ttk

[@kipkebab]

Companies have many patents that they don't use

[@xBROVERTUREx]

Bro asked Chat GPT 🤓

[@YouJustGotHitWithReality]

@@kipkebab Activision has indeed filed several patents related to engagement-optimized matchmaking (EOMM) and related systems that suggest the company has explored advanced methods of influencing player behavior during live games. These patents cover various aspects such as matchmaking, net code manipulation, hit registration, spawn systems, and more, all with the goal of optimizing player engagement and retention. While Activision has publicly stated that these systems aren’t currently used in games like Call of Duty, it’s reasonable to question that claim, given how advanced these systems are and the impact they could have on player experience. Let’s break this down by connecting the dots: 1. Dynamic Matchmaking Algorithm (US Patent 20180220666A1): • Overview: This patent describes a system designed to match players in a way that maximizes player engagement rather than prioritizing fair skill-based competition. The system can assess a player’s behavior, including spending habits, time spent in-game, and frustration levels, to influence matchmaking decisions. • In Call of Duty: In theory, this could mean that Call of Duty matches are designed not just to pair players based on skill but to keep them playing longer. For example, if a player is identified as a potential spender, the system could give them matches where they experience near-wins, tempting them to purchase in-game advantages or cosmetics. 2. Microtransaction-Based Matchmaking (US Patent 9802133B1): • Overview: This patent specifically details a matchmaking system that pairs players in such a way as to encourage spending on in-game items. For example, the system can place a player who has not spent money on microtransactions in a match against someone who has purchased superior items. This is meant to incentivize the non-paying player to make a purchase to remain competitive. • In Call of Duty: This could mean that even if players are evenly matched in terms of skill, the game could deliberately match someone who has paid for cosmetic or functional items (such as weapon skins with minor benefits) with someone who has not, subtly pushing the non-payer towards spending. Although Activision claims this isn’t used in Call of Duty, the very existence of such a patent suggests it could be applied in subtle ways, especially in multiplayer games with a high reliance on microtransactions. 3. EOMM Through Live Game Data Manipulation (US Patent 20190010863A1): • Overview: This patent describes using real-time data, such as player actions and performance during a match, to adjust in-game variables on the fly. This could include hit registration, bullet damage, or movement speed, all to create a more engaging experience for the player. • In Call of Duty: Even though Activision claims they don’t manipulate live game data in Call of Duty, this patent shows it’s technologically feasible. For example, the system could subtly adjust hit registration (making some shots hit or miss based on engagement algorithms) or increase or decrease damage slightly to create more exciting close-quarters gunfights. Players may feel like their performance varies wildly between matches, which could be attributed to this kind of live manipulation. 4. Spawn Manipulation (US Patent 10377075B1): • Overview: This patent covers dynamic spawn systems designed to influence player behavior. The idea is to manipulate spawn points in a way that maximizes player engagement, whether by spawning them closer to action to maintain excitement or strategically placing them to prevent frustration after repeated deaths. • In Call of Duty: The spawn system could be tailored to give players favorable respawn points after a series of frustrating deaths, or deliberately place them in high-action areas to keep the excitement level up. Though Activision may deny using this tech, frequent Call of Duty players have often noticed unusual or seemingly unfair spawns, which could hint at some form of manipulation. 5. Hit Registration and Latency Manipulation (Related to US Patent 20180220666A1): • Overview: This concept involves manipulating hit registration and network latency to either help or hinder players depending on their engagement level. The system could artificially delay or speed up hit registration to create dramatic, tense moments, or to level the playing field for players who might otherwise get frustrated and leave the game. • In Call of Duty: Hit registration issues in Call of Duty are frequently a topic of discussion. If Activision were to use such systems, they could manipulate the perceived effectiveness of weapons or player performance in ways that keep players engaged. For instance, if a player is on a losing streak, the system could subtly improve their hit registration to give them a boost without making it obvious. Connecting the Dots: • Activision has publicly stated that many of these patented technologies aren’t used in games like Call of Duty, but the patents themselves show that the company has invested significant research into systems that can manipulate live gameplay. The mere existence of these patents, combined with observed in-game behavior like inconsistent matchmaking, questionable hit registration, and unusual spawn points, suggests that even if these systems aren’t being used explicitly as outlined, some elements of engagement-optimized matchmaking might still be present. • Given the highly competitive nature of Call of Duty and its reliance on microtransactions, Activision has a strong incentive to use these technologies to ensure players remain engaged and are motivated to spend money. EOMM systems can influence not only the overall fun of the game but also the moments of frustration and relief that drive players to continue playing. In summary, while Activision may officially claim that these patented systems aren’t in use, the existence of the patents and the game’s mechanics indicate that some form of engagement-based manipulation could easily be happening behind the scenes. This would align more with the idea of rigged casino-like matchmaking rather than pure skill-based competition.

[@SSgtAdrian]

I swear the same thing happened to me. I was playing and absolutely dominating, no hit reg issues, killing targets within a few shots, top listing nearly every game the first day. I hop on day 2 and went multiple games barely scraping by because it felt like I wasn't doing any damage to anyone. I thought maybe it was some BS server issues, but I wasn't having any connectivity issues. I swore to my friends I was playing with that there was something decreasing my damage, or not registering half my shots. Of course it sounds crazy, but I swear the decreased hit reg or a damage debuff is a thing. My games went this way for awhile and I continued to sweat my ass off thinking I was in some kind of nonexistent slump. But sure enough, after multiple lobbies of feeling like I was shooting air, out of nowhere I start killing people within the normal TTK. It seems crazy, but SBMM is definitely messing with people's damage. I will say that my friend playing with me both day 1 & 2 brought up a good point because he was also top listing every game alongside me, he and I going back and forth as first and second. He swore didn't notice any substantial damage differences, as if his hit reg or damage was reduced. So, I don't know what the problem is. I'm still convinced it's something to do with a SBMM mechanic, but maybe it is some kind of server issue.

This is a real thing. The talk about the patent causing you to play worse overtime when you initially did well is 100% true. This was a thing in black ops Cold War. The patent is designed to make you aim worse, your damage to be less, to make you flinch more often when you take damage, to make your bullets hit registration worse over all, among other factors to ensure that you perform worse overall. It totally makes sense that this feature is still a thing since the awful matchmaking is still here. Activision obviously doesn’t care about you trying to get better at their games legitimately. The bad players need a chance to be good and to have fun matches so that they can give Activision more money.

[@shmoist802]

None of these issues are new. It happened in MW2019, a lot. And people called it out then and were called crazy. Whysosirius (channel is gone now) was the very first person to bring up sb/eomm and EVERYTHING in Actis' patents that went in to some detail about in-game manipulation of players in real time, which btw, you and others are just now paying attention to. If anyone still has MW2019, pop it in and play a few matches and you see the exact same thing start to happen. Like I said before, nothing new.

I found him during the time when black ops 4 released as I was experiencing 'shoot first die first' because of SBMM. Loved his slow-mo breakdowns.

[@icandodgebullets7869]

There's a software company called Demonware Inc who are responsible for the development of the online multiplayer portion for a large number of Activision games black ops 6 again being one of them. I put my finger on them for the multiplayer algorithm and they never seem to get talked about for some reason.

Wrong, in MW2019 it was tested but not implemented full time. Full time implementation began in MW2. SBMM has existed since MW2019 but Engagement Based Algorithm was implemented in MW2. As a 5-7kd player...14 in dmz. - it has been the sole reason I didn't purchase MW3 or BO6.

Ngl I quite enjoy the game but I simply cannot believe that they developed it for 4 years.

I think they should admit that the most developed thing was the omni movement, which is cool, but.... i don't see it much in my matches.

[@daddydiy9008]

The most developed thing is what’s being discussed in this video. Skill based damage? Machine learning and AI tools becoming more prevalent, this seems to be an obvious technological leap for any game developer to make and then they can say it uses a “proprietary matchmaking system” that keeps games “fair” and encourages bad players (the majority) to play more.

Not only do I experience this literally every game, but it seems like I'm playing a second or two behind my enemies. Desync, lag compensation, whatever. I can slide/jump around a corner and shoot an unaware enemy, but they kill me. The killcam shows me just chilling getting shot on their screen before my player even shoots. They literally see me before I see them every gunfight. My wired connection and internet speed are solid. I'm normally around a 2+ overall kd, and I feel like I can't do anything in this trash excuse for a game.

[@Rugerous]

It's the latency that makes the hit reg slower

[@Tallmedicbro]

I got the game as a gift from a friend, we started playing on day 1 with a 4/5 stack. I have a 1.7 KD and so does he. Our group is ranging from a .8 and higher. I’ve had many moment where with a 40 round magazine I’ve dumped 20+ rounds hitmarker’ing the enemy at least 10-15 times for them just to not die. At other times Ive 3 tapped dudes at full health to chest shots (not even headshots). Ive also seen kill cams/ play of the games where people have 2 tapped people to chest/head with an M4 when the person they are engaging is in spawn (full health more than likely). And yes I’ve seen my grenades/semtex’s get stepped on after death or even while I’m alive to get no damage dealt to the enemy player, let alone a Hitmarker. It’s always games where I get packet burst. It’s gotten so bad that a friend we have who doesn’t pay attention to cod drama started saying: “I’m getting nerfed”.

Thank you for this. I thought I was the only one experiencing this. I have noticed the same in every other match. Running same loadie, i go from getting 30 kills, winning most of my gun fights, to 10 kills where i am losing most gun fights. I told a friend that it feels like I am using paintballs. Getting hit markers with a whole mag and not dropping them only to get turned on and hit twice and die. It has gotten so bad that I just back out of the match as soon as it happens. This will be my last cod purchase. Especially with the “enhanced spacial audio” for an additional charge.

B06 is one of the most bizarre FPS titles I've ever played. EVERY SINGLE MATCH feels like it's artificial. Some matches going in, immediately feels like a losing proposition to me, like it's already predetermined that I'm losing the match before it even started. Also, I would bet money that some of the "players" in every lobby are AI bots. They are not real. Almost every match, I've peeked a window or doorway...and INSTANTLY I'll have one of these "players" laser me from a ridiculous distance , or throw a perfect grenade right on top of me. I'm telling you, this isn't real organic game play with actual human players. You can load up a custom game lobby against veteran AI bots and witness similar style kill cams.

[@idancemyassintothepaint7571]

100% scripted, 100% using bots. I figured it out when this dude dove down the stairs I was preaiming and was hitting me with headshots before he even landed. It was so outrageously insane, and then I started paying attention and noticing generic npc names to go with these super suspicious players and it clicked.

[@Ryan-ds2wx]

@@idancemyassintothepaint7571 Agree. I've had a ton of gunfights/deaths in this game, where it's at the point now that I'm convinced. I suspected it a couple years ago that Activision was putting AI Bots in MP in these titles. I think the tech is just so advanced now, that it's getting harder to tell. But I've played MP in these games for literally almost 13 years now, and what I've witnessed in this title in the past 4 days is downright astounding...and simply, not believable.

[@esperfire3779]

Here's something interesting I noticed- I've been grinding out the L85 (GPR 91 in game) and it just felt horribly inconsistent. Even after unlocking attachments to help with recoil and range, I would sometimes land 6-7 HEADSHOTS on people and still not get a kill. So while screwing with it in the firing range I noticed something odd: When standing still, I could kill every dummy within the maximum damage range in 5 shots exactly. But if I MOVE AND SHOOT at the same time, it will randomly sometimes take an extra 2-3 bullets to kill even the closest dummy. I even tried going for only limb shots to see if that's what was causing the TTK to go up, but it turns out that gun is supposed to be a 5 shot kill NO MATTER WHAT. So, not saying it's confirmation of skill based damage, but unless STATIONARY firing dummies are somehow lagging, we can rule out network shenanigans. Maybe some weird bug, but at this point I wouldn't put anything past Activision.

[@BlameTruth]

Holy shit, good find.

[@thomaswf7284]

Something I noticed whilst using the Goblin MK2 was that randomly but frequently enough for me to notice it wasn't a one off was it wouldn't fire on a button press. Initially I was convinced that it was like the old fire rate restrictions on MW2 or COD4 where it was put an impedance on the players' fire rate if they fired too quickly, but when I tested it to try and replicate it I could fire way faster than i was in those instances and way faster than I typically fire although. I'm not saying it was a form of damage debuff, but it did strike me is really weird when so many are talking about it and ghost bullets.

[@nicolasflores7527]

I’ve been going through this since 2023 mw3s launch and honest to god thought I was losing it. I went ahead and got faster internet and a good Ethernet cable to make my connection better but still it kept happening every match I was in and it did make me feel like I wasn’t as good at cod anymore. However when I’d play other fps games I wouldn’t experience this at all, I like cod games I have ever since the launch of cod 2 way back on the Xbox 360 but this is a game shattering thing to be going through and I’m sick and tired of using ARs that require 4 shots to kill someone needing 10 or more shots instead. In a strange way I’m glad to see so many people in this comment section are going through the same thing because for the longest I thought this was an issue exclusive to me.

Skill based damage is definitely a thing and I play Hardcore. Some times you might be shooting 2 dudes and everything is fine that 3rd person bullets don't work and they shoot you with 1 bullet and off you immediately or someone isn't even looking and they turn around while your shooting and get you with 1 bullet. Hit markers in Hardcore shouldn't exist 🤷‍♂️

[@darkmatter21_xx]

Ive been saying this for a year in the comments. The game manipulates the bullet physics and damage, accuracy, inside the match. Edit: So the game is doing the Robocop Remake thing, you THINK you're controlling your inputs but it is actually the server. Over and over in MW3 I played hardcore Only, because I wanted to elimnate the time for the server to phony up every gunfight. Which is where I caught the game doing stuff like, stopping my gun from shooting because it only would take one shot so the game would delay me shooting for like 10-15 whole frames. ESPECIALLY if you're aiming at a group of targets. It would arbitrarily change my tac stance spread, would straight up make a cone of fire directly around the enemy player. MW3 had no theater mode. Black Ops 6 does, Activision is going to get caught in 4K.

I’m a 1.7 K/D player and I’ve been stuck in perma-sweat lobbies since MW2019 when we began playing COD on PC. I’ve been a CS GE, I’ve been nearly 20K on CS2 Premier, and I’ve had decent placements in amateur tournaments locally on both controller and K&M. I can absolutely say that there is something weird about engagements especially this year. I’ve felt like there was in previous games on PC, but this one feels by the far the most inconsistent because of how weird the TTK is. Here’s something weird. Yesterday playing veteran campaign, I noticed how sometimes bullets would seemingly go through enemies. I assume this is just a feature of veteran to make some map sections harder (which is totally fine), but I think there might be an element of this in MP. There’s some sort of weird system baked into the engine that allows bullets to not deal damage. I know this might sound super conspiratorial, but has anyone noticed how intensive this game is?
