Should Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War have skill-based matchmaking in unranked play?

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is exciting for numerous reasons, including the long-awaited return of Zombies and a Black Ops story, plus Treyarch back at the helm of multiplayer. However, there is one aspect of the upcoming Call of Duty game that has tempered some expectations and that is skill-based matchmaking.

If you dove into the recent open beta for Black Ops Cold War or you read someone’s impressions of it, you are likely to have heard of the controversial feature.

have SBMM in ranked/competitive game modes and leave it out of unranked lobbies. would that make the majority of the fans happy?

DaMist1279d ago

I think this is a good compromise, it only makes sense for unranked to be a casual setting.

Teflon021278d ago

It's a iffy topic because some high tier players will go there to maul the lobby, spawn trap ruin the game for others tryharding. I do think it's not always fun to have to play your skill level. But I do think they should just broaden it more when playing unranked, not ignore it completely. Worse thing for new players is not being able to move from spawn because some ass knows all spawn locations and you just so happened to be on a team of noobs vs a bunch of high tier friends who decided lets play unranked today

Another great month imo. The COD campaign on this one was great fun. I've never played Alan Wake, so a PS5 version of that is a perfect way to prepare for the next one...

taurul302d ago

You're in for a treat with Alan Wake. It still holds after so many years.
For me it's the best psychological thriller I've ever played that is not Silent Hill.
Alan Wake 2 is my most wished sequel of all time, waiting for it since 2010...

bloop301d ago (Edited 301d ago )

Sweet!! I never got around to playing it on the 360 but always wanted to. Looking forward to next month!!

Crows90301d ago

Agreed. You see I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't bought remedy...of all the studios in their list....I'd assume remedy would be an obvious based on real actual relationships.

I liked Alan Wake and am super excited for Alan Wake 2. Hopefully turns out great ..I've actually liked ALL of their games including quantum break...except for the TV show part.

I've never bought a CoD game, but now due to PS+, I 'rent' like 8 of them or so. I played one a few times with my nephews. Still not my cup of tea. But, it's interesting to see how many CoD games PS+ can throw at me.

LG_Fox_Brazil302d ago

Pretty damn good, I almost bought Alan Wake last month, glad I held my wallet

REDGUM301d ago

I picked up my copy of it 2nd hand just last Saturday. agghhh. If only I had waited just a little more longer.

Knushwood Butt301d ago

Me too, it's been on my wishlist for months. Glad I held out!

Elda302d ago

A pass for me due to playing Cold War & Alan Wake already.

phoenixwing302d ago

Glad I didn't buy cold war or Alan wake. Now I can enjoy them for the stories

Kassanova07302d ago

I was curious about both. Great timing!
